About the Tucker Wayne series

Tucker Wayne is a former Army Ranger working as a private military contractor, paired in the field with Kane, his retired military working dog -- a partnership James Rollins and thriller novelist Grant Blackwood use to bring a distinctly canine point of view into the action, with chapters occasionally shifting to Kane's own senses and instincts. The two-book series keeps Rollins's globe-trotting, high-tech action sensibility while narrowing the cast to Tucker and Kane's tight, trust-based partnership.

The Kill Switch (2014) introduces the pair on a mission involving stolen genetic research; War Hawk (2016) sends them after a hijacked military drone program.
