The Last Kingdom
Just finished reading "The Last Kingdom" by Steve Berry, published by Grand Central.
In his 17th Cotton Malone adventure, Steve Berry cleverly intertwines history and fiction to make the history fascinating and the fiction believable. This story in grounded in Bavaria and draws on the history of the royal Wittelsbach family. After helping his protege Luke Daniels on what should have been a routine mission, Cotton finds himself in a quest for a deed that King David Kalakaua gave to King Ludwig of Bavaria deeding the Hawaiian Islands to him. It’s existence and legitimacy threaten the status of Hawaii as a state with the potential of it becoming property of the Peoples Republic of China. Political intrigue, history and thrilling spy activities.
Berry is in his usual top form with Cotton Malone in this adventure. I am eagerly waiting for the next Cotton Malone outing.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
