Rollins, a previous vet, is considerate, soft-spoken, erudite and a particularly conservative driver. The strongest epithet you may hear him contend is "Holy smokes. This past winter, I taught a writing class in Fiji and did some scuba diving there. Over New Year's, I went to the Bahamas and paid a visit to a shark research facility and ended up diving with sharks. At the moment, I am preparing to go on a 10-city tour for 3 weeks.". He's also a whitewater rafter and a spelunker a bloke who explores caves as a hobby. "The Last Oracle" ( William Morrow, $26.95, 448 pages ) is Rollins ' 10th novel and the 4th entry in his Sigma Force series. It made it to the NY Times best-seller list. How did he like the Harrison Ford adventure? "It was not easy to judge with an unjaundiced eye" he announced. "I still have an issue with Mutt ( Shia LaBeouf ) swinging thru the forest on vines.". Rollins will pop up for The Bee Book Club at six p.m. Borders will be present to sell "The Last Oracle" for thirty % off the list price.
