review 1: Prequel to The Columbus Affair. This is a 50 page short story in which we get a glimpse at issues and characters of The Columbus Affair. In this one Cotton Malone, who isn't in the CCA, goes to Haiti to investigate his brother-in-law's death while scuba diving. Scott Brown died while investigating a submerged old ship which appears to be the Santa Maria. During the investigation Cotton finds out that Scott was murdered by someone who has an interest in Columbus. Quick little read that I read after I read the Columbus Affair. I would recommend reading it first.
review 2: Great story! This is the first book by Steve Berry that I've read, and I'm hooked. Cotton Malone is a great character and while some scenes stretch credibility, I became quickly interest... moreed and willing to stretch my limits on what's believable. The mystery behind Malone's brother-in-law, Scott Brown's death is compelling. Add to that Malone's hesitance to investigate the death. What better than a reluctant hero? Malone's marriage is on the rocks, and he's missed most of his son's childhood, so as a reader, I became sympathetic and engaged. The Haitian setting is intriguing, especially as I once visited Haiti many years ago, and remember the scenery as breathtaking and the poverty as harsh. I didn't see the wealthy areas that Malone's character mentions. Berry is able to draw the reader into an entirely different world while creating an interest in history and events surrounding his brother-in-law's death and a sunken ship off the Haitian coastline.....all this in a few short pages. A delightful, quick read! less
