review 1: The Tudor Plot is actually a novella, a short novel, from an author that usually writes much longer and more involved novels. This short novel features some of the characters that regularly appear in his "Cotton Malone" novels. This particular story, is set several years earlier than his last novel, THE KING'S DECEPTION, while Cotton is still working for the Magellan Billett, a division of the CIA. It was strange to read how this novel uses a parallel lineage for the royals of Britian. Edward VIII did not abdicate; he infact, was crowned but went to to be a very poor and unpopular king. His daughter, Victoria II is now on the throne, but old and in very poor health. Her son,Richard, the Prince of Wales, is basically a good for nothing playboy who the people would like... more to see step aside in favor of his very popular and admired son, Albert. It is fun to see how this fictional royal line interacts and imitates to a certain extent, real people. I enjoyed reading this short novel more than any of Steve Berry's full length works because it was not so involved and got right to the point of the plot.
review 2: Books with theme of conspiracy is a lot. But I really like this theme because reading the next similar history is not boring to me. THE TUDOR PLOT is interesting because it raises two very cool themes. The first is a fight between two powers or the United States and England, the other is digging up secrets that could jeopardize the status of the royal family. Really great reads.This book is action-packed almost like a movie, could properly configured to make movie of this. less
