Cotton Malone has retired from the American special forces unit he was in after his work in he Templar Legacy. Now he is running a bookstore and quite content until his ex-wife shows up one day to tell him their son has been kidnapped. An organization wants information only Malone has and are willing to kill to get it. So Malone sets off with his ex-wife to find their son. But soon they stumble onto something bigger than Malone has been art of before. A secret society is trying to destabilize Israel and Saudi Arabia by showing that Israel is not the chosen land of the Jews. Malone, of course, knows nothing of this. The only place that might have the original documents is the Library of Alexandria, long believed to have been destroyed. But it is actually protected by a group of people called The Guardians who issued invitations to view it to a select few. Malone is not one of those few, but uses the keys left to someone else to track it down dragging his reluctant ex-wife with him.
This is a fast-paced, action packed book that is full of intrigue and plot upon plot. Berry keeps you guessing til the last and does not disappoint with a half-finished ending. Everything it resolved to my satisfaction at the end of the book. This is an interesting book in that Malone brings his ex-wife in his jaunt (although not willingly). I like his writing style and the stories he picks to write about. It reminds me of Robert Ludlum.
