James Rollins is a very refreshing author. I do not even really like books that are classified as thrillers, but I think everyone should read Rollins. -- The Written WorldFrom the AuthorAbout James RollinsJAMES ROLLINS is a #1 New York Times bestselling author of international thrillers that have been translated into more than forty languages. Known for unveiling unseen worlds, scientific breakthroughs, and historical secrets, Rollins' knack for breakneck pacing and stunning originality has been hailed by critics and embraced by scores of millions of readers around the world.The Critics RaveThe New York Times says that his "roguish charm comes from his efforts to persuade readers the story is credible [through] real-life sources for his novel's science, history and geography." Rollins' rare blend of action, suspense, and knowledge was also mentioned by the Huffington Post, which stated that "After Crichton passed away in 2008 he clearly passed the baton to James Rollins, who like Crichton, is a renaissance man."NPR calls his work "adventurous and enormously engrossing..." and the New York Journal of Books had this to say: "If you're a fan of smart, entertaining adventure fiction, this is your summer beach read writ large....All the science, all the history, and all the locations are masterfully intertwined. The characters are multi-dimensional. And the story is, well, a corker."The Story Teller's StoryAs a boy immersed in the scientific adventures of Doc Savage, the wonders of Jules Verne and H.G. Wells, and pulps such as The Shadow, The Spider, and The Avenger, James Rollins decided he wanted to be a writer. He honed his storytelling skills early, spinning elaborate tales that were often at the heart of pranks played on his brothers and sisters.Before he would set heroes and villains on harrowing adventures, Rollins embarked on a career in veterinary medicine, graduating from the University of Missouri and establishing a successful veterinary practice. This hands-on knowledge of medicine and science helps shape the research and scientific speculation that set James Rollins books apart.Explosive Page-Turning AdventuresThe exotic locales of James Rollins novels have emerged as a hybrid between imagination, research, and his extensive travels throughout the United States and Europe, as well as New Zealand, the South Pacific, China, Southeast Asia, Africa, Australia, and South America. Recent jaunts include book tours and stops across the country and several European nations to give talks, seminars, and media interviews.In recent years, much of James' travel has involved meeting readers in small and large groups, at writing and fan conferences, and even aboard seagoing "seminars." James' mentoring and coaching skills have made him a sought after writing instructor and guest speaker for workshops, symposia, conventions, and other forums throughout the country.James Rollins is the author of nine thrillers in the bestselling Sigma Force series (Sandstorm, Map of Bones, Black Order, The Judas Strain, The Last Oracle, The Doomsday Key, The Devil Colony, Bloodline, and The Eye of God); six individual adventure thrillers; and the Jake Ransom middle grade series (Jake Ransom and the Skull King's Shadow, Jake Ransom and the Howling Sphinx.)From the Inside FlapNew York Times bestselling author James Rollins dives far beneath the waves into unimaginable peril in this classic tale of action and adventure.

Who says time travel stories can't be fresh and fun?By Kerry Alan Denney aka The Reality BenderWow, I LOVE this author! Mr. Rollins never fails to take his readers on an action-packed thrill-a-minute ride. DEEP FATHOM is not only one of his best and most thought-provoking adventures, it is also at the top of my favorite novels list, and very highly recommended, along with all of his fantastic novels, the stand-alones as well as all the SIGMA FORCE novels, which seem to get even more intense and action-packed with each one he writes. If there were a queue for his forthcoming works, I would be standing in front of the line and eagerly awaiting their publication. As it is, I keep hitting that "pre-order" button every time I see a new novel of his being published, and eagerly await its arrival. I know that each one will take me deeply and irrevocably into a world of nail-biting, page-turning action and adventure. I can hardly wait for THE 6th EXTINCTION!Kerry Alan Denney, multiple award-winning author of SOULSNATCHER
