The Charlemagne Pursuit is definitely a good read! It was perplexing at times with all of the Holy One's talk, but the action never abated. With double cliffhangers I must dive right into The Paris Vendetta!

An interesting story wrapped in a racist, sexist, poorly written package. Looking forward to not reading anything further by Mr. Berry.

Not my favorite of the series so far. No major issues, just didn't draw me in as much as some of the others. Looking forward to getting to the next in the series.

I realized I enjoyed this book when I got about 40 pages from the end and it got exciting, however up to that point I was not too excited about it. I feel like it took me a while to get through the first two thirds and there seemed to be way to many characters to keep straight. I felt like there was too much surrounding the main plot and that kept me from getting into the story. I would recommend this book if you like stories with lots of characters and subplots, and if you like historical fiction, but i thought it was too much to take on for the casual reader. Also, a side note, I've gotten a few ER books and this one had the most spelling and grammar [return]errors by far compared to the others.

Cotton Malone's father died when he was a child. He was the captain of a submarine which malfunctioned and was never able to be recovered, during an expedition to the Antarctic. As an adult, Cotton knows there is more to the story but has never been able to find out what happened, until now. His friend in Washington provides him with classified information stating that there was never a recovery mission except for a handful of Navy personnel. The sub was supposed to find evidence of a very early super culture, one we know nothing about.
Once Cotton gets this classified information, he is almost immediately assaulted by two people. Other people want this information two.
Cotton finds twins whose father was also on the sub and they want the truth as much as Cotton, but possibly for other reasons. The search takes them from Germany to France down to the Antarctic.
This book lays out its premise as a search that Charlemagne created. I had never heard of him and knew nothing so I'm not sure if this was why I couldn't appreciate the quest or whether it was the author's fault for making it rather convoluted. The suspense wrapped up in the last quarter of the book but the first third was tough to get through.
