Cotton Malone is summoned by the Queen of England to help her discover who is after the throne. Her son has no interest nor ability to lead the kingdom, and her grandson seems to be the target of an assassination plot, led by a terrorist. Treachery is rampant, in the royal family and the intelligence service. As usual for Steve Berry, there is a lot of British history integrated too, involving Arthur. ( ) A decent novella on the Cotton Malone front that provides some backstory for Malone in a tale from years past. This one involves something of an alternate history version of British royalty and one man's attempt to bring home the throne. But hey, Cotton is on the case, so you know that this guy is in for some grief. Steve Berry has written a great stand alone story for his hero Cotton Malone. Using a somewhat alternate timeline to invent the British Royal family, Berry delivers a novella of political intrigue and murder. Cotton Malone is secretly recruited by the Queen of England to uncover a plot she fears is in motion to upset the line of succession to the established monarchy. I typically enjoy Steve Berry’s fast paced action thrillers; however I wasn’t fond of this one. It might have just been me, I may have missed it, but I don't know why he called this novella "The Tudor Plot", since there was much more about the Arthurian legend. I felt as if there were really two different ideas mushed into this one ebook, and I couldn’t truly find the connection between them. As such, I felt slightly disconnected from the characters and their personal struggles and wishes. Because this novella is totally stand-alone, the reader doesn’t need any of Cotton Malone’s history to try this adventure out. Likewise, since it is totally stand-alone, the reader does not need to read this story to keep up with Steve Berry’s Cotton Malone series. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HTML:In this original eBook novella by the New York Times bestselling author of The King’s Deception, globetrotting intelligence agent Cotton Malone is lured into dangerous intrigue surrounding the world’s most famous royals—and uncovers a murderous conspiracy of terrorists and traitors, all born from an ancient tale of Saxon history. “In Malone, [Steve] Berry has created a classic, complex hero.”—USA Today In England to participate in the trial of suspected international terrorists, Justice Department agent Cotton Malone is mysteriously summoned to an audience with the Queen of England. A cryptic call has warned of looming danger to the ailing queen’s son and grandson—the next two heirs in line for the throne. And when the source of that ominous information, a notorious tabloid publisher, dies mysteriously, the royal family has reason to fear a genuine conspiracy. But they also suspect that the enemy lies within—and no one at Buckingham Palace, or even the nation’s own Secret Intelligence Service, can be trusted. Now it’s up to Malone to discover the truth. Matching wits with a power-mad politician and a vicious royal blue blood, he must race against time through the streets of London to the forbidden reaches of Iceland, all to stop a monstrous plot to seize the monarchy—one that stretches back to the time of Arthur. Praise for Steve Berry and his Cotton Malone series “Malone, a hero with a personal stake in the proceedings, is a welcome respite from the cold, calculating superspies who litter the genre.”—Entertainment Weekly “Steve Berry gets better and better with each new book.”—The Huffington Post “Savvy readers . . . cannot go wrong with Cotton Malone.”—Library Journal “Berry raises this genre’s stakes.”—The New York Times “I love this guy.”—#1 New York Times bestselling author Lee Child.
