The Admiral's Mark reminds very much of Ian Fleming's Caribbean Bond stories. Excellent short story! Also, this is a substantial piece of writing and well worth the money (compared to Berry's Balkan Escape rip-off).

This is the first off the "Cotton Malone" series by Steve Berry that I have read. It was very well written and enjoyable. I am looking forward to reading more of the "Cotton Malone" series.

The latest short ebook from Steve Berry is both a prequel to the Cotton Malone series as well as the new book [b:The Columbus Affair|12741747|The Columbus Affair|Steve Berry|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1333577682s/12741747.jpg|17880676]. A short, quick adventure to Haiti tied in with the lost wreck of the Santa Maria, flagship of controversial historical figure Christopher Columbus.
There wasn't a lot to this story and I'm not sure it needed to be released by itself. It feels like it would have been better used as a prologue instead of a way to get more money from fans. If this is the way Steve Berry continues his ebooks I think I'll stick to the novels only.

A great little story to read while driving from A to B. Cotton Malone is headed down to Haiti to look into the death of his brother-in-law. What he discovers is more than a drowning accident and opens the door on some historical Americana related to Columbus.
Berry is at it again with his most-loved character, who likes to stick his neck out and solve crimes unrelated to his daily life. Always revealing another layer of the Malone character in the most unorthodox manner, Berry has the reader hooked frolm page one.
A great story to kill time on the way home from work and running a few errands. Kudos, Mr. Berry! A great tie in (I would expect, since I have yet to read it) with The Columbus Affair.
