Black Order (James Rollins)

Black Order (James Rollins)

Black Order is a 2005 novel by James Rollins. The novel centers on Nazi mysticism and features the Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun) and Wewelsburg.

Plot summary

In Black Order, the Sigma Force team members risk their lives to get to the heart of one of humankind's greatest mysteries: the origins of life itself, the true reasons of evolution.

The opening of the novel in Breslau in 1945 is heavily inspired by the non-fiction book The Hunt for Zero Point by Nick Cook. Much of the plot mechanics revolve around The Bell, a device that the Polish researcher Igor Witkowski claims was a Nazi anti-gravity machine. In Rollins's novel The Bell is a quantum measuring device that is said to control evolution. The plot begins when strange "ghost lights" appear in the Himalayas and soon after a mysterious illness affects everyone in the proximity but the story revolves around the idea of Nazi warfare and the psyche of the human entity.
