I was a little disappointed in this book as it was not as good as the first three in the series. It started out as an interesting concept about finding out what was going on in Antartica but too much was going on with the other stories and made the book too choppy. I liked learning about Charlemagne and all the history but was spoiled by the weird sisters and their mother being involved. I thought the ending was a bit anti-climatic because there's no way I believe what they found and too many people died in this story. It didn't seem like Cotton needed to be involved with that family. They were a waste of his time and energy. Here are a few points in order to make the next book better:
1. Steve Berry needs to write his own books as I can't believe he wrote this one.
2. He needs to pick one event in history and write a story about that instead of having too many storylines going on at the same time.
3. I like when Vitt and Thorvalsen are in the story and it worked before so don't change that.
4. Never have weird people in your book again, Steve, we don't like them.
I don't think this book was a total disaster but it was a bit long when you are not really enjoying all the people in the story. I will continue with the series as I think this book may be a bump in the road and things will smooth out in the future.
