Just read Monuments Men, so this was interesting in the same tracks, but the alternate Martin Bormann/Eva Braun story was really great. But why does this Jonathan Wyatt character suddenly appear in Steve Berry's world?

A short story released to tie in with the full length novel [b:The Jefferson Key|10503124|The Jefferson Key (Cotton Malone, #7)|Steve Berry|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1320461212s/10503124.jpg|15408919]. This story introduces the character Jonathan Wyatt as he tracks down his former boss who turned against him and helped end his career.
Set in Argentina the story revolves around the remnants of the Third Reich with some Nazi's who escaped justice. For a Steve Berry book the action is virtually non-existant and the dialogue is heavy. A quick read I only read it as it is part of the ongoing Cotton Malone series.

I wish Berry had made this is to a full novel! It had lots of twists and I love the conspiracy of Hitler's Gold and Hitler's child...

An interesting look at history in a way only Berry can perfect. In this short story we are introduced to a character on a mission to discober some of the deeply held secrets from the fallout of World War II, particularly Hitler's Bounty and the dispersal of the Nazis.
Loose ties and mention of the famed Cotton Malone so the reader can only wonder if this will be a tie-in to the next (or down the road book) about our favourite protagonist. Berry takes us on a short ride to see what ACTUALLY happened to the Bounty, to Mrs. A. Hitler (read: Eva Braun) and some other twists worth keeping under wraps.
The audio version by Scott Brick makes the book some alive. Kudos to Brick and Berry!
