This was the second Cotton Malone story I read. It was interesting to see the characters from the first book evolve and provide the reader with more background. The big flaw in these types of serial novels is that the main character stumbles on not one but a multitude of historical, potentially world-changing events. The historical aspect seemed more so to be the reason for the action/thriller subplot as opposed to the other way around. For me, when reading these types of novels I prefer to be surrounded by the historical significance and not the action adventure; I'd rather leave that to a movie. I will continue to read the other books in this series and see how they play out.
Loved it! I read this when it was first published and remember really liking it, but didn't remember the details. I was thinking it would be a quick reread, but I was so wrong. I really took my time and enjoyed the wonderful writing and fabulous characters. I still have a few lingering questions and know I will enjoy reading again someday.
