Black Order
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
From the Himalayas' frozen peaks to the Congo's diamond fields, from a lost era's subterranean labs to the Smithsonian's glittering halls, Sigma Force will face its most daunting challenges to unravel our most perplexing scientific mystery-the origins of life. And the very future of mankind hangs in the balance. For any hope of success, Painter Crowe must make a pact like no other, aligning Sigma Force with an old enemy, one beyond redemption. And it will be up to Commander Gray Pierce to find the balance between salvation and damnation, even if it means sacrificing those closest to him.

- content: While providing medical aid at a Nepalese Buddhist monastery, American Doctor Lisa Cummings teams up with Painter Crowe, director of SIGMA Force, and both become entangled in a modern-day Nazi experiment. Gray Pierce, another SIGMA operative, becomes embroiled in the same experiment in Copenhagen. Grover Gardner weaves the threads of Rollins's plot into a whole cloth, adding color and body to the characters. Moving from continent to continent, Pierce and Crowe race to stop the villains. Gardner's German and Afrikaner accents intensify the horror of the out-of-control experiment. Occasionally, Gardner's voice becomes inaudible, nearly frustrating the listener. M.B.K.

What would thriller writers do without the Nazis? At the start of Rollins's inventive eighth Sigma Force novel, a secret experiment is smuggled out of Berlin in the waning days of WWII. While the Americans have been working on the atomic bomb, the Nazis were delving into the paradoxical tenets of quantum mechanics. In the present day, descendants of Heinrich Himmler are trying to create a new race of Aryan supermen. Last seen in 2005's Map of Bones
, Painter Crowe and Grayson Pierce, employees of Sigma Force, a secret arm of the U.S. military, venture to the brink of death to puzzle out mysteries that encompass the theories of evolution, intelligent design, and the physical and spiritual nature of love and God. It's a tall order, but every time the author appears to have stretched too far, he saves the read by throwing in a fascinating scientific or historical fact, plus a scene of heart-pumping action. This is Cussler and Ludlum territory with a dash of Dan Brown, sure to please devotees of any of these authors.
