Summary: "Lord of the Silent Death" by Robert Moore Williams is a science fiction novel likely written during the early to mid-20th century. The story revolves around an archeologist, Samuel Morton, who uncovers a mysterious box during an expedition in Asia Minor. When he eventually opens the box, he inadvertently unleashes a horrific entity that causes sudden death through silence and a peculiar form of bodily destruction, leading to a chilling series of events in Chicago. The narrative follows Rocks Malone, Morton's assistant, who is drawn into a web of mystery and danger after Morton's death. As the plot unfolds, Rocks learns that the box contained a weapon rather than treasure, capable of killing without sound. The book delves into themes of ancient civilizations and the potential for lost technologies while Malone races to uncover the truth and stop further carnage, including the mysterious deaths of Morton's colleagues and a terrible tragedy at a theater. The gripping tale concludes with Malone and Penny, who is emotionally entwined with him, determined to seek answers in Asia Minor, hinting at the existence of otherworldly forces tied to the history of their discoveries.
