The story line had an interesting premise - suppose income tax is illegal! Cotton Malone, the protagonist, is to find the proof (or lack thereof) and return it to his sometime boss, the head of the Magellan Billet.
Well written, with adequate action and a story line that will keep ones interest. I enjoyed it.

Another excellent book by Steve Berry! Full of action, suspense, and intrigue. Steve Berry comes up with the most interesting stories based on historical facts and this one did not disappoint. He can not write them fast enough!

The Patriot Threat is the 10th book in the Cotton Malone series. The main premise of the book is whether or not the 16th Amendment of the Constitution legalized federal income tax. Was there a problem with the 1913 ratification of the law? North Korea seems to have gotten the information about this top secret and could bring the US to their knees. The book also features history about Franklin Roosevelt and arch-rival Andrew Mellon. Also includes travel from Venice into Croatia. This book was not my favorite of the series. It was very interesting but contained a lot of repeat information that was not necessary. I will, however, continue with the series as I need to keep up with Cotton Malone and his adventures. I would recommend this book to those who like history.
