Book Review:
''Charlemagne Pursuit'' by Steve Berry is another action-packed, fast-paced, and engaging thriller featuring ex-agent Cotton Malone. Malone wants to know what really happened to his father, officially lost at sea when his submarine went down in the North Atlantic. But when he uses his government contacts to obtain the submarine's sealed file, Malone finds he is not the only person looking for answers.

Pitched into a lethal power struggle between mysterious twin sisters Dorothea Lindauer and Christl Falk, Malone embarks on a dangerous adventure involving Nazi explorations in Antarctica, U.S. government conspiracies, and a series of cryptic clues built into the legend of Charlemagne. Forced to choose a side where neither can win, Malone is determined to uncover the truth behind his father's death—but can he escape his own?

Berry is a master of the historical thriller, and Charlemagne Pursuit is pure intrigue and pure fun. The blend of history, conspiracy, and high-stakes action is irresistible. If you enjoy Dan Brown, Clive Cussler, or historical adventure thrillers, this is a must-read. Highly recommended!
