It was exactly as I would have expected and that is to say mediocre. If you've read other books in the Cotton Malone series and enjoyed them, this won't disappoint. But if you're new to the series, I wouldn't start here.

This was the first book that was set mostly in America.
I enjoyed this book and the historical tie-ins. I've read all of the Cotton Malone series, and unlike other series, this continues to be entertaing at a consistent level.
Looking forward to reading the Columbus Affair.
I have read all of Steve Berry stand alone books and only found one book that was not exciting the entire way through. (Third Secret).

I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the Cotton Malone series. I loved the way Berry interwove his fictional privateer society with actually historic events and I greatly enjoyed having Cassiopeia tag along with Cotton. Now that they are an official couple, I hope to see much more of her.

Can't beat Steve Berry for good historical secret history thrillers.

Entertaining book by Steve Berry, as always. I had high hopes for it because I love this author, and love American history. But I was let down just a tad. I had a hard time with several of the characters - their arrogance, pride, and in some cases, obliviousness. And there were some rather graphic violent scenes that were difficult too. Overall, an enjoyable read, but not my favorite Steve Berry book.

Not my ideal book.
The synopsis and the prologue were probably the best parts of the book. I did not feel drawn into the story. It dragged on and on and I ended up skimming through the book.

I gave it a 3 but it was really a 3.5.
In the year of 2022, why can we not have half stars????

OMG! This was one of his most recent books which I could not put down. The on going adventures of Cotton and Cass, their relationship with the two of them. Plus the government conspiracy along with the commonwealth. I think in the end what I love about Steve Berry's books are in the end when he sums it up with all the facts and true accounts that are within the story. I love all his books but this one topped it.
