Synopsis:
Cotton Malone is called into action again by his former boss
in Washington D.C. to save a captive with critical information. He jumps right into the situation meeting
Luke Daniels, the Presidents nephew, to find out who took the captive. Quickly into the mission he realizes that
someone else, Cassiopeai Vitt, Cotton’s girlfriend, is involved and things get
more complicated. All roads seem to lead
to a prophet of the Mormon Church and a battle with the US government leading
to an unlikely ending.
My Review:
This is my first Cotton Malone book. I was unsure what to
expect and can now not wait to get my hands on more in this series. Living in Illinois, I am always intrigued
by books that tell stories of Abraham Lincoln and his presidency. The Lincoln Myth tells a tale that is not
what I would normally think of when talking of Lincoln and his history. I loved the history shared in the story
along with the fiction thrown in to keep me fully entertained. The story was face paced and never let me
put it down.
Religion is a tough topic.
To choose to put the Morman religion front and center intrigued me. The Morman faith is not something I am very
familiar with so I was constantly making notes to be checked out at a later
date so that I could get the entire story surrounding what was being told.
I found the author notes at the end of the story to be
extremely helpful and enjoyed reading them to find out what was fact and what
was fiction along with getting the rest of the history on some of the locals
and items found through The Lincoln Myth.
I am anxious to read more from Steve Berry. This is a book I will definitely recommend
especially to history buffs.
