Black Order

A Sigma Force Novel

By: James Rollins

Narrated by: Grover Gardner

In this electrifying thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins, Sigma Force races to crack ultimate mystery of the origin of life—a quest that will save mankind . . . or destroy it

In Copenhagen, a suspicious bookstore fire propels Commander Gray Pierce on a relentless hunt across four continents – and into a terrifying mystery surrounding horrific experiments once performed in a now-abandoned laboratory buried in a hollowed-out mountain in Poland.

In the mountains of Nepal, in a remote monastery, Buddhist monks inexplicably turn to cannibalism and torture – while Painter Crowe, director of Sigma Force, begins to show signs of the same baffling, mind-destroying malady…and Lisa Cummings, a dedicated American doctor, becomes the target of a brutal, clandestine assassin.

Now only Gray Pierce and Sigma Force can save a world suddenly in terrible jeopardy. Because a new order is on the rise – an annihilating nightmare growing at the heart of the greatest mystery of all: the origin of life.

My First James Rollins novel

The author was a suggestion the novel was a pick...but I wasn't disappointed .Really enjoyed the story couldn't predict how it was going to come together but it did.

classic Rollins

Classic Rollins! Good Read and Listen. I think the sigma novels really start getting good here.

Good read

Good read keeps you interested with the facts mixed with fiction and suspense another good book by the author.

Fast becoming a favorite

When a doctor attempts to summit Mount Everest, a weather delay at a lower camp and her desire to help ill residents of a monastery lead her into the middle of a plot to.....well, I don't want to spoil the story. Let's just say that she ends up running for her life, working with the Sigma Force team.

The Sigma Force novels are fast becoming a favorite for me. The seamless blend of historical facts with exciting action, secret government agencies and environmental issues in many cases, make for a wonderful story.

I like the evolution of the characters from book to book although you could read only one without being lost in the back story. Each story takes you to a different parts of the world painting a lovely action packed picture.

Rollins hits one out of the park!

This touches so many points of intrest...spiritual, relational, historical, quantum-physical that it easily satisfies multiple and many facited itches. This may be the perfect book for one like me with ADD. NEVER A BORING MOMENT!
