   I’d really love to see more Tucker Wayne books. He’s hasn’t written any new ones since 2015. The way he describes Kane is so vivid and real.

   Another Sigma Force short story was published last week (24/10/17) entitled “Ghost Ship”. Apparently #12.5 in the Sigma Force list but I’ve not been able to independently confirm that.

   “The Skeleton Key” – a short story of Seichan (Sigma) published 31 May 2011 – I believe should be added.

   Do you not think that “Tracker” should be a Tucker Wayne book instead of Sigma even though he and Kane morphed into the Sigma team in Bloodline?

     Thanks we’ll get the Skeleton Key added.

     “Tracker” is a tricky one because while I agree with you – Rollins himself lists Tracker purely as a Sigma Force book and where applicable, we go with what the author says.

     But I do think at the very least Tracker should be listed under the Tucker Wayne series with a note – I’ll get that added today.

   I was looking for a list of Robert Bryndza books but it seems he is not listed. Is there a reason for this? Anyone that could help I would appreciate it.
