Book Description

November 1, 2009

Late in World War II, Adolf Hitler is about to achieve his greatest victory: the capture of Solomon’s Treasure, the world’s most sacred treasure trove, representing both gold and precious gems as well as ancient knowledge. He believes it will guarantee his dream of a thousand-year Reich.

Can Giselle Tchaikovsky, a young American woman who achieved fame as a teenage ballet dancer in the 1930s, stop Hitler’s dream of world conquest? Can the secret sisterhood she creates do anything against the Nazi juggernaut of men and machines? Will the sisterhood bring about a resurgence of the feminine goddess aspect of humanity in time to spare the world this madman’s holocaust?

Jim Marrs presents an edgy combination of fact and fiction in this wide-reaching story of ancient secrets uncovered in the midst of war. It’s a tale of love and war, ancient mysteries, and the struggle to balance the human soul.

The first novel from Marrs, this book follows his New York Times bestseller The Rise of the Fourth Reich. He uses his factual research into the Nazis' fascination with the occult and their search for iconic treasures as a basis for the novel.

A native of Fort Worth, Texas, Jim Marrs has worked as an investigative reporter for several newspapers, including the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Marrs' in-depth investigation of UFOs, Alien Agenda, is the best-selling UFO book ever; Crossfire: The Plot That Killed Kennedy was a New York Times bestseller, as was Rule By Secrecy.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Veteran journalist and conspiracy theorist Marrs (Rule by Secrecy) ropes up Nazis and ancient secret societies for his uneven fiction debut, set amidst the machinations of WWII. When the team of archeologist Giselle Tchaikovsky discovers a mysterious crystal skull near Belize, they're double-crossed by a murderous German colleague. Giselle vows revenge, journeying to Europe where the skull has been turned over to Hitler. Once in France, however, Giselle becomes involved with Resistance members, including university scholars and early Cathar devotees, and eventually widens her quest for the skull to a campaign for peace. True to form, Giselle's quest propels her along a convoluted path through Europe and Russia, ultimately leading her to resurrect an ancient sisterhood dedicated to peace and the preservation of ancient, sacred artifacts. With one-dimensional characters, stilted dialogue and lengthy "instructional" passages, this novel moves laboriously toward a predictable Nazi-foiling finale.

2.0 out of 5 stars Barbie VS Hitler, November 22, 2009
This review is from: The Sisterhood of the Rose (Hardcover)
Oh boy.. where to start...? This story basis is a great idea. A group of women during world war two form a sisterhood against Hitler and the Axis. Great idea! The problem is the women that form this group. According to this novel, it consists of not only Barbie and Ken, but Mussolini's mistress, Stalin's daughter, and even Eva Braun! When Eva Braun entered the picture, the book became so preposterous to me, I could go no further.

The heroine is Giselle, a former ballerina turned archeologist. (Beautiful, blonde, and very well endowed in the chest department AND filthy rich.) After a dig gone bad in South America, she sets out to take back the crystal skull stolen from her and avenge her lover's death. The man she is after is an SS officer for Hitler. World war two is disrupting Europe. Barbie (Giselle) hooks up with a former lover, Michel (I'm calling him Ken) and proceeds to get sidetracked on her quest by forming the all girls club and getting a decoder to England among other things. After recruiting all the above mentioned women or at least using them in some way, the story just became too implausible for me. On top of that, I grew tired of Barbie and Ken being so perfect and "ma chere" this and "ma cheri" that. I think by page 200, readers will realize that Barbie and Ken are mad about each other.

Something else I didn't like is the lack of emotions. It was like being on the outside looking in. The characters sit around and have their conversations but what are they thinking?

A good idea. It probably would have worked for me had the characters been a bit different.

1.0 out of 5 stars BORING!!!!, March 14, 2010
By 
Otto (San Antonio, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sisterhood of the Rose (Hardcover)
This book is a bunch of data thrown at you, with a poor attempt at hiding it within dialogue. What little action there is in this book is pretty good, but all in all, it's a snoozer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Book Sisterhood of the rose, January 26, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Sisterhood of the Rose (Hardcover)
Great book, It is Jim Marrs first novel, although he has written many Best selling factual books, he is an old investigative journalist, and this book is fact filled will true historical happenings that you probably never heard about. Written in the form of a novel to give license to the Authors conjecture.
A Great Read!! Robert Moore
