When it comes to adventure stories, short stories isn't the best thing in my opinion. You never really have time to get into the story before it is over. Often these kinds of stories are a prequel to the next book and I don’t understand why they instead just not put the prequel in the book instead as a chapter. This is just an appetizer, and I want the whole cake! ( ) A short story where Tucker Wayne and his superior ranking army dog decide to help a young woman fleeing from thugs, while trying to find her kidnapped father. Her father is trying to find Nazi gold stolen from the Jews in Budapest. Too short for me. The first of three short stories that I read back-to-back-to-back once I realized that all three were out there and that all three had ties to series that I enjoy. But like the other two-thirds of this list, there really wasn't much to recommend about this one beyond the introduction of a pretty cool service dog and what promises to be a potentially good new series that Rollins is co-writing. Still, it's worth a fourth star because Kane is pretty awesome in the furry, four-footed companion department. Loved it! Now on to Bloodline!! Quick little tale. Great interaction with two best friends, one with two legs and one with four. Look forward to more!! no reviews | add a review

HTML: From New York Times bestselling author James Rollins comes a stirring story of a soldier and his military war dog who are drawn into a dark mystery tracing back to World War II and a lost treasure tied to the bones of the dead. Off the blustery streets in the medieval heart of Budapest, Captain Tucker Wayne and his war dog, Kane, rescue a mysterious woman fleeing three armed men. The secret she holds will unlock a terrible treasure, one steeped in blood and treachery, tied to a crime going back to the fall of Nazi Germany and a heritage of suffering and pain that reaches out from the past to wreak havoc today. In a final showdown in the depths of a lost cemetery, truths will be unearthed, treasures exposed, and the fate of all will rest upon the shoulders of one man and a dog whose courage is beyond measure. Included within this thrilling story is a sneak peek at the opening chapters of Bloodline, in which the further exploits of Tucker and Kane will be revealed. .No library descriptions found.
