Tucker Wayne’s past and his present collide when former army colleague Jane Sabatello comes to him for help. She’s on the run from brutal assassins hunting her and her son. To keep them safe, Tucker must determine who killed a mutual friend, a brilliant young idealist—a crime that Tucker discovers leads back to the most powerful figures in the U.S. government.
From the haunted swamplands of the deep South to the beachheads of a savage civil war in Trinidad, Tucker and his beloved war dog, Kane, must work together to uncover the truth behind a mystery that traces back to World War II, involving the genius of a young code-breaker named Alan Turing. The threat of this enigmatic and dangerous secret has repercussions that could change our world forever . . . and redefine what it means to be human.
With no one to trust, Tucker and his exceptional loyal companion Kane will be forced to break the law, expose national secrets, and risk their own lives to stop a madman determined to control the future of modern warfare for his own diabolical ends. But can Tucker and Kane withstand a force so indomitable that it jeopardizes our very future?
Praise for The Kill Switch
“Combine Rin Tin Tin and James Bond, and you get Kane, a vastly appealing, smart, brave dog outfitted with the latest high-tech gadgetry for saving the world from some pretty horrible stuff. His pairing with handler Tucker Wayne—a former Army Ranger with similar qualities—makes for a riveting, smart page-turner.”—Maria Goodavage, New York Times bestselling author of Soldier Dogs
“Exceptional. . . . Rollins and Blackwood succeed brilliantly.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The taut and complex story sprints across the globe from Russia to Istanbul to southern Africa to the United States, and offers a diverse cast of well-developed characters and a tightly woven plot that intrigues, excites, and doesn’t let go.”—Library Journal (starred review)
“A fast and furious thrill ride that satisfies from the first page until the last. Brilliant in all respects.”—Providence Sunday Journal
“Rollins knows how to deliver a terrific page-turner, and teaming up with Blackwood, coauthor of novels with Clive Cussler and Tom Clancy, proves to be a success. The mix of Blackwood’s military knowledge and Rollins’s background as a veterinarian makes the narrative seem authentic. While Tucker Wayne is a terrific character, the star of the novel is Kane, a Belgian Malinois and one of the best dogs in thriller literature. The Kill Switch is the start of a new series, and the next book cannot come soon enough.”—The Huffington Post
“A fantastic adventure story with nonstop action [that] shows the close bond between dog and partner, and the readers will fall in love with this canine and his handler.”—Crimespree magazine
