The Tucker Wayne series, written by James Rollins and Grant Blackwood, follows former Army Ranger Tucker Wayne and his military war dog Kane. The pair first appeared in a Sigma Force novel before getting their own series with The Kill Switch in 2014. The books combine military thriller action with the unusual angle of a highly trained combat dog as a central character.
Across four books, Tucker and Kane take on missions that involve international conspiracies, stolen weapons technology, and dangerous enemies. The relationship between Tucker and Kane is the heart of the series, and Rollins and Blackwood write the dog’s role with enough detail to make Kane feel like a fully developed character. The most recent entry, The 9th Man, was published in 2023.
