Black Order by James Rollins
3.0
James Rollins presents another exciting adventure with Gray Pierce and Painter Crowe, and their team. This series is a favorite of my family's and we enjoy comparing each other's likes, dislikes, of each book. This perhaps won't be my favorite long term, but as a follow up to Map of Bones, this was entertaining to read.
I enjoyed Painter Crowe as a character and the quick shift from agent to director was abrupt, but happy that in the 2nd he still played a key part, and in Black Order had a very strong presence. Not that I don't enjoy Gray, I just felt jilted at the transition from one person to the next.
Black Order's scientific subject is much more recent than the preceding Sandstorm and Map of Bones subject, impact coming from World War 2 time. Evolution is not a strong area of my interest, but with how Rollins creates a conversation, it brings a new light to the subject.
