Rollins is also writing the Jake Ransom series for kids and adults. The first volume, JAKE RANSOM AND THE SKULL KINGS'S SHADOW, is in bookstores now, and the next release, JAKE RANSOM AND THE HOWLING SPHINX, is due in Spring 2011. Publication date for his seventh sigma adventure, The Devil Colony, is Summer 2011.
Known for building high-octane adventures on a solid science foundation, Rollins juxtaposes the familiar with the exotic and then turbocharges his tales with suspense. Always mindful of history's legacy, Rollins reveals how secrets, some hidden for centuries, can change the course of human events. His novels explore how advancing technology can affect society --- not just the physical threats of unchecked advancements, but also the spiritual and moral challenges. "The true terror of technology is not the cogs and the wheels, but how it will change us," he says.
