Better that I expected
I enjoyed this book much more than I thought I would. When I bought it, I only recognized the author but didn't realize this book is so far into the Cotton Malone series. That being said, I would not be opposed to reading more of the series in the future.

Don't remember dates but was last month. I read it in about 2-3 days.
I never thought the author could write a book better than the previous one, but he did. I totally couldn't put it down since the dynamics were moving continuously.

Very interesting book. I didn't realize that the US wanted to invade Canada and make it a colony.

Easily my least favorite. Really repetitive parts, could easily have been 100 pages shorter. The villains in this story lack complexity. I give 3 stars only because it ties of loose ends from the last book in the series.

I received an advance copy of this book through a Goodreads giveaway. I always really enjoy Steve Berry books so I was thrilled to receive a copy. However, this was on Steve Berry book I did not enjoy. I found it really repetitive through the book. Also, he kept focusing on the renewed relationship of Cotton and Cassiopeia. It kept being repeated over and over that they both weren't great with feelings.
The story itself was interesting due to the fact it dealt with more recent history, the Cold War. However, maybe because I am a Cold War junkie I didn't like the story. Plus the part about the 14th Colony, the title of the book, was actually a small part of the book. And to some extent not relevant.
I think this is just a rare miss for Steve Berry and I will still look forward to his next one.
