This book is excellent! Steve Berry gets better with every book he writes. I listened to the audio book. Scott Bricker is great at reading his books. This book is based on the premise that the 16th amendment for income tax collection was never ratified in 1913, therefore illegal and that the descendants of Haym Salomon are owed millions if not billions of money. All of Berry's book are indeed thought provoking. I am ready for the next book, The 14th Colony. It comes out 4/2016.
