While he tries to leave his past behind and run a quiet second-hand bookshop in Copenhagen, his past life as a top-secret U.S. Remember, it’s a work of fiction.Cotton Malone is a beloved protagonist, in part due to the unassuming duality of his character. (PS – I want to add a warning that the book has some content about Christianity that some people may take exception to. I plan to find out because I will be reading more books in this series. Maybe it’s the author’s intent to develop the character throughout the course of several books.
He seemed somewhat one-dimensional, which is interesting since he’s the main character of at least ten more books.
Specifically, I didn’t get a good feel for what Cotton was all about. While the story line was good, the character development was a little unsatisfying. Who will get there first and what will they find? He has a chance encounter with a former boss and the two embark on a quest to solve this puzzle, pulling several other characters into the fray, as well. Joining in this treasure hunt is Cotton Malone, a retired US operative who now owns a bookstore in Copenhagen. But what if some Templars still exist and they are close to finding this lost secret that could challenge the church hierarchy that was responsible for their brutal, near demise centuries ago? The author skillfully blends fact and fiction to create an entertaining treasure hunt that is full of challenging puzzles, interesting history and surprising plot twists. The plot revolves around the Knights Templar and an ancient treasure and secret that’s been hidden away since the Knights Templar were mostly wiped out in the early 1300s. I enjoyed “The Templar Legacy”, although it wasn’t the kind of book that I couldn’t put down. I don’t like to jump into the middle of a series, so I decided to check out the first book, “The Templar Legacy”. It’s the eleventh book in the Cotton Malone series. I was recently trolling a best seller list for reading ideas and “The 14th Colony” by Steve Berry caught my eye.
I really like it when I “discover” an established series because that means I can add several more books to my reading list.
