Congratulations to
Jennifer Spiegel, winner of last week's Friday Freebie:
These Things Happen by Richard Kramer.
This week's book giveaway is
Bloodline: A Sigma Force Novel by James Rollins. Released earlier this year by William Morrow,
Bloodline is a thriller about medicine, genetics, and technology. Here's the plot synopsis: Galilee, 1025. Infiltrating an ancient citadel, a Templar knight uncovers a holy
treasure long hidden within the fortress's labyrinth: the Bachal Isu--the
staff of Jesus Christ--a priceless icon that holds a mysterious and terrifying
power that promises to change humankind forever. A millennium later, Somali pirates hijack a yacht off the coast of the
Horn of Africa, kidnapping a young pregnant American woman. Commander Gray
Pierce is enlisted for a covert rescue mission into the African jungle. The
woman is no rich tourist: she's Amanda Gant-Bennett, daughter of the U.S.
president. Suspicious that the kidnapping masks a far more nefarious plot, Gray
must confront a shadowy cabal which has been manipulating events throughout
history...and now challenges the current presidency. For this unique mission, SIGMA is aided by a pair of special operatives
with unique talents: former Army Ranger Captain Tucker Wayne and his military
war dog, Kane. But what should be a straightforward rescue turns into a fiery
ambush and a deadly act of betrayal, as Gray and his team discover that the
hostage is a pawn in a shattering act of terrorism with dark repercussions. And
the danger is only beginning...Halfway around the world, a firebombing at a fertility clinic in South
Carolina exposes a conspiracy that goes back centuries...a scheme that lies
within our genetic code. With time against them, SIGMA must race to save an
innocent unborn baby whose very existence raises questions about the nature of
humanity, asking: Could you live forever? Would you live forever?
