The following book review is a special for BlackFive readers provided by Elise Cooper. You can read all of our book reviews by clicking on the Books category on the right side bar. The Kill Switch written by James Rollins and Grant Blackwood can be considered part science fiction, part historical novel, and part military thriller. Intertwined within all Rollins books is a combination of these genres. This book is the first in a series about a military dog, Kane, and his former handler, Tucker Wayne. Rollins first introduced this former military team in the Sigma series book, Bloodline. He explained to blackfive.net, that he decided to co-author this new series because of the “time element. I write two full books a year and since I have three series going I decided to write two half books, one with Grant and one with Rebecca. Specifically for this book The plot has Tucker and Kane assigned by the Sigma Team to extract a pharmaceutical magnate scientist from Russian soil, a volatile man who holds the secret to a deadly bioweapon. This scientist, Abram Bukatov is close to finding a “kill switch” for LUCA, a plant organism that spreads like wildfire and if turned into a weapon will disrupt or destroy the food supply. Throughout the book is a cat and mouse chase between the Tucker team and a rogue Russian General team that includes the Swedish sniper, Felice Nilsson. Written in a very intense and suspenseful manner, the story delves into how Tucker and Kane must overcome betrayal, being hunted, and a terrorist attack that could be catastrophic to the world’s agricultural supply. The scenes with Wayne and Kane are the most interesting parts of the book.
