Oh no Mr. Berry. I have loved the earlier books especially The Amber Room and The Romanoff Prophecy; however, this book was boring. They told the story of Columbus' name changes and why and where he was from and what he did with the treasure about five times. Really, I got the storyline the first time it was told. The book could have been cut by about two-thirds.

I was disappointed in the last two books, I am very much afraid that Mr. Berry has gone the way of so many of our successful writers - he has an outline and he fulfills it completely making his most recent books formulatic.

Not even sure I will purchase the new one, that is how disappointed I have been in the last three.
