Loading... Black Orderby James Rollins

http://pro-libertate.net/20160214/289-read-black-order (  ) davdittrich | Feb 14, 2023 |  James Rollins once again outdoes himself in Black Order. "Lisa knew what she had to do. She let go of the scientist inside, let go of her own self. Her goal was beyond consciousness, beyond prayer, it was simply belief in the purity of that moment, the Bell burst with a blinding light, binding them together." This quote comes at the end of a long, harrowing and heartbreaking journey from WWII and the mad scrabble of the Superpower Allies to scoop up the best/worst of Nazi Germany's scientists and their work. Ranging from the Himalayas to the Veldt of South Africa through Europe; Stigma Force chases, well, I can't tell you. This is an outstanding scientific and philosophical thriller. Well read! (  ) Windyone1 | May 10, 2022 | I fell in love with Rollins' work way back when I was in high school, and although I don't quite get sucked into his Sigma Force novels in the way I did his stand-alones, I'm still enjoying the series and characters. There are pieces of this book, in particular, that feel a little bit more over-the-top and Hollywood-ized than necessary, but in terms of it being a book that sucked me in and kept me engaged, it's as strong as most of Rollins' work and I really can't complain. I'd still recommend his stand-alones first, this was a fun, Indiana-Jones type romp through action and science and history. (  ) whitewavedarling | Jan 16, 2022 | Bookshops, rare books, Tibetan monasteries, Nazi experiments, quantum physics, and of course plenty of action and bad guys - this book covers a lot of ground. fast-paced enough to keep me interested, complex enough to keep me thinking. If you're a fan of Scott Mariani or WIll Adams, you'll probably like this one too. This was my first James Rollins book, and I suspect it won't be my last. (  ) adam.currey | Jun 9, 2018 | As is the case of most of the Sigma stories, there is a great deal of action which always provides an entertaining story. History buffs will love the background information. I feel that Rollins books are a bit too long but they just keep you reading regardless. The only problem I have with the writing is that at some critical point in a segment of the story....the story shifts to another segment which is a bit confusing. Overall I have to say the characters were fascinating and Rollins has given his readers another top of the line book. (  ) Carol420 | May 11, 2018 | no reviews | add a review
