To celebrate this latest publication, we asked the man who writes about ancient secrets to reveal a few of his own. Here, in his own words, are 3 Thing You Don’t Know About James Rollins:

 

 

 

1. I can neuter a cat in under 30 seconds.  Though I’ve forsaken my veterinary career for the written word, I still volunteer my surgical skills to the local shelter and continue to keep my scalpel sharp.

 

2. I was once trapped in a cave for half a day, pinned between two slabs of rock and hanging on a rope.  So when it comes to writing scenes of claustrophobia, I can now “write what I know” (and for some reason, I still go caving).

 

3. I have attended every Comicon in San Diego for the past 15 years. Including one year where I accidentally punched Quentin Tarantino in the stomach. Yes, I'm that much of a geek..

 

A free sample excerpt from this book is available for download on the product page now. 

 

NOOK owners: go to shop and search for “James Rollins” to download his pulse-pounding adventures.

Any of his books have cat neutering in them?

I'm guessing he means male cats.  Females take at least 45 seconds, right?
