Description

From celebrated New York Times bestselling author, Steve Berry, comes the latest Cotton Malone adventure, in which the discovery of a lost historical document challenges the global might of the United States.
King Ludwig II of Bavaria was an enigmatic figure who was deposed in 1886, mysteriously drowning three days later. Eccentric to the point of madness, in the years before he died Ludwig engaged in a worldwide search for a new kingdom. One separate from Bavaria, a place he could retreat to and rule as he wished. But a question remains: Did he succeed?

Enter Cotton Malone. Luke Daniels, Malone’s Magellan Billet protégé, has managed to infiltrate a renegade group on the trail of a 19th century deed that proves Ludwig’s long-rumored search bore fruit. A document that could not only secure Bavaria’s independence, but also change the balance of power in the modern world. The United States, China, and Germany all want it.

In a race across Bavaria for clues hidden inside Ludwig’s three fairytale castles, Cotton and Luke battle an ever-growing list of deadly adversaries all intent on finding the last kingdom.

    Terrible plot. Story wanders. Several superfluous characters that add nothing to the story. Almost gave up on finishing reading.

    Story was too long and convoluted. Too many characters that seem to have no lasting imprint on the plot. Confusing usage of first names, and last names for the same person so many times throughout the book that created confusion in my mind as to who was who. not one of the strawberries better efforts. I was quite disappointed in this entire book. Do not waste your time on it.

    This excellent read, typical of Steve Berry evolves around a lost document which could greatly challenge the global strength of the United States. The King of Bavaria Ludwig II and the king of Hawaii. Ownership of Hawaii goes to King Ludwig II. An excellent fast paced read with action and suspense on every page!! My highest recommendation!! Enjoyed immensely!!
