The Lincoln Myth
It’s only fitting that Cotton Malone goes from saving the UK from tearing apart in the last novel to trying to save USA in this one. Unfortunately this book isn’t as interesting to read as The King's Deception was.
This book was ok to read, not bad just not fantastic to read and the usual flow was missing. Personally I’m not really a fan of religious fanatics and making the main bad guy a fanatic Mormon with hallucinations made me groan inside. Also it didn’t help that I have read a kind of similar book by James Rollins called The Devil Colony that are utterly engrossing to read.
A big problem with the book was Cassiopeia Vitt role, she is usual a great character, but in this book I just wanted to slap her and tell her to wise up. Stephanie Nelle asks her to get close to a childhood friend and the first man she ever loved. But she left him because he was a devout Mormon, and although she had grown up a Mormon she didn’t believe. Now she dupes him to believe that she has found her faith. The problem is that is totally incapable to believe that he is bad. She really wants to clears his name and is totally blind to and death to everything that happens and everything Cotton Malone, the man she suppose to love, says.
But the book wasn’t all bad, a new character Luke Daniels, nephew to the president and an agent for Magellan Billet was introduced and he was a great addition. I hope he will be in the next book. The ending was ok except the last action of Cassiopeia Vitt which was very immature.
