Black Order

Description for BLACK ORDER by James Rollins:

In Copenhagen ... a suspicious bookstore fire propels Commander Gray Pierce on a relentless hunt across tour 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.

This is #4 in The Sigma Force Series.
