Short and to the point, which some of the Berry books don't often do. Some are too drawn out and loose pace 200 pages in. In this case the story stuck and the pace was good. Just enough action to keep things going and enough simplicity to not seem too contrived.

This was an extra story at the back of the King's Deception. It helps to explain Malone's feelings for the head of Britain's Secret Intelligence Agency. Excellent story with lots of history of Arthur and Britain. Fantastic!

Very good short story. This felt like the plot to a novel that was never written or filled out. Can't wait to read the next story.

This was a fun little prelude to the next Cotton Malone novel, THE KING'S DECEPTION. I enjoyed the fictional British royal family Berry invented, as well as the fictional history he made up regarding the legend of King Arthur.

Just as great as is full novels. Kept me on the edge of my seat and finished to the end....

The "decimal releases" by Steve Berry – The Admiral's Mark (Cotton Malone #0,5), The Devil's Gold (Cotton Malone #6,5), The Tudor Plot (Cotton Malone #7.5) – feature a much more sensible tempo and are structure than the actual Cotton Malone novels. As usual, there's a historical plot (King Arthur's lost grave) and an action plot (conspiracy to overthrow the British monarchy) nicely mixed together. I was already about to give up on the Cotton Malone series after the disappointments of The Paris Vendetta, The Emperor's Tomb and The Jefferson Key, but on the strengths of The Tudor Plot, I'll give the next novel a shot.
