I have enjoyed this and nearly all of Steve Berry's Cotton Malone series. In spots, I found the editing to be imperfect with a number of correctly spelled but wrong words used within the novel.
I was very much intrigued by the idea of the Lost Kingdom and the Kingdom of Bavaria. It was interesting learning that Ludwig was awarded the Grand Cross of Kamehameha I - and it made this bit of fiction more realistic...and who would have known all of the precious metals off the Hawaiian seacoast (I hope they stay there).
There were some twists in this novel - although I had seen the twist related to Albert coming. In the end, it's nice to know the President Fox will be backing off on the Magellan Billet.
Solid novel - doesn't beat the Amber Room, but I liked it.
