The Last Kingdom

Another fun ride with Steve Berry and Cotton Malone. I enjoyed getting to know the history of the kingdom of Bavaria and it's enigmatic king Ludwig II and all of his family, but I didn't expect I'll also get acquainted with the coup that made the kingdom of Hawaii the 50th state.

Cotton's adventures are always fun and this was equally good, especially because all the player's motivations kept changing and the betrayals were pretty unexpected. It was nice to see Luke be a part of the team this time, as well as some new characters who I feel like we may not be seeing the last of. The mystery itself was interesting too, but I've come to expect that from the author. Overall a very enjoyable read which I finished very quickly and can't wait to see what the author comes up with next.
