"In bestseller Berry's fourth thriller to feature ex-Justice
Department agent Cotton Malone (after "The Venetian Betrayal"),
Malone embarks on a search for answers about his father, Capt.
Forrest Malone, after learning that instead of dying in 1971 in a
nuclear sub accident in the North Atlantic, his father actually
died while on a secret submarine mission to the Antarctic.
Meanwhile, bad guy Adm. Langford Ramsey schemes to become the next
ranking officer of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The two story lines
merge as a group led by Malone races to Antarctica, where they find
a strange underground city belonging to the Aryans, an advanced
race who inhabited the earth at the dawn of our own civilization. A
meticulous researcher, Berry carefully integrates such elements as
Charlemagne, Nazis, ancient manuscripts, historical puzzles and
scientific surprises into the plot. Those who relish suspense in
the "Da Vinci Code" vein will snap this one up, the best yet in the
series." "- Publishers Wee
Berry outdoes himself in his latest Cotton Malone adventure (after
"The Venetian Betrayal" ). Using his connections in the federal
government, Cotton asks to see a classified file that details the
mission that resulted in his father's death. He knew his father
died on a submarine but none of the shocking details about where or
why he died. But Cotton is not the only person who wants this file,
and they kill to get it. Nazi missions to the Antarctic, ancient
societies, and a valuable artifact from Charlemagne's tomb all play
key roles as Malone uncovers the truth. So much is going on that
there is enough material for two good books, let alone one great
one. Mixed in with the complicated action, Berry finds the time to
explore the characters as well, making this his most personal and
best book to date. For all fiction collections. "- Library Journal"
