MY FRIDAY 56
Otto rose to his feet.
One of the reasons he’s come was for the scepter and crown,expecting nothing to greet him but bones.
But things had changed.
(56 in paperback)
MY BOOK BEGINNINGS
The alarm sounded and Forrest Malone came alert.
“Depth?”, he called out.
Six hundred feet.”
“What’s beneath us?”
“Another two thousand feet of cold water.”
GOODREADS BLURB
As a child, former Justice Department agent Cotton Malone was told that his father died in a submarine disaster in the North Atlantic. But what he now learns stuns him: His father’s sub was a secret nuclear vessel lost on a highly classified mission beneath the ice shelves of Antarctica.
Twin sisters Dorothea Lindauer and Christl Falk are also determined to find out what became of their father, who died on the same submarine–and they know something Malone doesn’t: Inspired by strange clues discovered in Charlemagne’s tomb, the Nazis explored Antarctica before the Americans. Now Malone discovers that cryptic journals penned in “the language of heaven,” conundrums posed by an ancient historian, and his father’s ill-fated voyage are all tied to a revelation of immense consequence for humankind. As Malone embarks on a dangerous quest with the sisters, he will finally confront the shocking truth of his father’s death and the distinct possibility of his own.

Good. My job is done. LOL
I read one Cotton Malone book and liked the characters. I really should look for more books in the series. Your selections make me eager to read about him again. I’m numbers 13 & 14 on Freda’s linky, come see my Friday 56s. Happy reading!
Glad to hear that. On my way to check you out. 🙂
I’ve heard great things about this author but haven’t read him yet.
Happy weekend!
Sounds pretty intense. This author seems to be pretty popular, but I haven’t read any of his books.
