How Jack Sigler / Chess Team Adventures Began
In 2009, Jeremy Robinson, a New York Times bestselling author known for his genre-blending tales, unleashed the Jack Sigler / Chess Team Adventures with Pulse. Inspired by his love for comic books, mythology, and high-octane thrillers, Robinson envisioned a team of Special Forces operatives who could tackle threats too wild for conventional forces. Drawing from his childhood in Beverly, Massachusetts, where military presence and fantasy fueled his imagination, he created Jack Sigler and his Chess Team—named with chess-inspired callsigns like King, Queen, and Rook—to face both modern and ancient evils.
Robinson’s collaboration with co-authors like Sean Ellis and Kane Gilmour added depth and variety, expanding the series into a sprawling universe. With a focus on character-driven storytelling and relentless action, the series quickly carved a niche among fans of authors like James Rollins and Matthew Reilly.
The Heart of Jack Sigler / Chess Team Adventures
The series kicks off with Pulse (2009), where the Chess Team pursues a sinister genetics company seeking immortality through the mythical Hydra’s DNA, only to unleash monstrous consequences. In Instinct (2010), the team ventures into Vietnam’s Annamite Mountains to stop a weaponized genetic disease, uncovering primal secrets amid jungle warfare. Threshold (2011) sees them protecting a young survivor, Fiona Lane, while battling living statues and an enemy erasing ancient languages to reshape the world. Omega (2013) ups the stakes with time travel and a personal quest for King, tying the series’ mythology together in a thrilling crescendo.
At its core, the series explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the consequences of unchecked power. Robinson’s style fuses smart science, historical intrigue, and mythological horror, creating a vivid backdrop from Russian wilderness to Peruvian ruins. The Chess Team’s camaraderie and grit anchor the fantastical elements, making their battles against nightmare creatures and mad scientists feel grounded yet exhilarating. Settings leap from jungles to secret labs, each rendered with cinematic flair.
The series’ blend of military precision and supernatural chaos sets it apart, appealing to readers who crave action with brains and heart. Its pacing—described as ‘rocket-powered’ by critics—keeps you glued, while character arcs, like King’s struggle with family and duty, add emotional weight.
