What if the most dangerous weapon in history wasn't lost — but waiting?
A relic so powerful that Hitler started a war to find it.
When tech magnate David Purdue discovers a German U-boat beneath his oil platform, he assembles the team that survived the nightmare of Ice Station journalist Sam Cleave and historian Dr. Nina Gould. What they find inside the wreck — an ancient weapon known as the Spear of Destiny — draws the attention of forces that have been hunting it for decades. On the platform, someone is not who they claim to be. In a secluded estate near Nuremberg, an old man in a wheelchair is building a chamber designed to contain something holy.
And in the North Sea, a storm is gathering that no weather system can explain - because what the Spear awakens cannot be put back to sleep.

The author has written a fast-paced thriller blending WWII history, Nazis, and paranormal elements. It is a story that kept me enthralled and is more than what I expected. The characters in this mystery thriller were well described. I was surprised that Purdue didn’t care about anything unless it added to his glory. This novel is the second volume of the series “Order of the Black Sun.” I did not read the first volume of this series but will go back and read it. Then I will be going to volume three. It’s an excellent book. I am glad that I have been given the opportunity to read this book.
Disclaimer: I received an arc of this book from the author. I wasn’t obligated to write a favorable review. The opinions expressed are strictly my own.
Purdue recruits Nina and Sam on an adventure that puts them in dangerous settings that are almost impossibly to escape, along side is Calisto who is Purdue body guard and lethal in her abilities. Having found an old book with information Purdue cannot resist they start the adventure that takes them to far distant places,and being pursued all along the way. A story that starts on an oil platform in the middle of the North sea or rather under the platform. An adventure of danger and greed the search for power. A great page turner a must read I recommend this book thank you PWC
