The 14th Colony
The 14th Colony: A Novel | Steve Berry
What happens if both the president and vice-president-elect die before taking the oath of office? The answer is far from certainin fact, what follows would be nothing short of total political chaos. Shot down over Siberia, ex-Justice Department agent Cotton Malone is forced into a fight for survival against Aleksandr Zorin, a man whose loyalty to the former Soviet Union has festered for decades into an intense hatred of the United States. Before escaping, Malone learns that Zorin and another ex-KGB officer, this one a sleeper still embedded in the West, are headed overseas to Washington D.C. Noon on January 20thInauguration Dayis only hours away. A flaw in the Constitution, and an even more flawed presidential succession act, have opened the door to disaster and Zorin intends to exploit both weaknesses to their fullest. Armed with a weapon leftover from the Cold War, one long thought to be just a myth, Zorin plans to attack. Hes aided by a shocking secret hidden in the archives of Americas oldest fraternal organizationthe Society of Cincinnatia group that once lent out its military savvy to presidents, including helping to formulate three invasion plans of what was intended to be Americas 14th colonyCanada. In a race against the clock that starts in the frozen extremes of Russia and ultimately ends at the White House itself, Malone must not only battle Zorin, he must also confront a crippling fear that hes long denied, but which now jeopardizes everything. Steve Berrys trademark mix of history and speculation is all here in this provocative new thriller.

Another book I‘ve read but not reviewed. I love the Cotton Malone books and this was no exception. I particularly love how historical events are wrapped up around a modern story. In this one we hear about invasion plans for what was intended to be America‘s 14th Colony - Canada! Apparently no less than 3 separate invasion plans were drawn up! Find out how this links to modern day events with another fast moving thriller with Cotton and friends! 😍

Mollyanna I adore thus series (even though I‘m only on book 3). Cotton is definitely my book boyfriend. 😉 4y
Andrew65 @Mollyanna 😂👍 Can understand why, a great series. 4y

I usually like Berry‘s books but this one has a problem. Berry predicts major chaos if the President and Vice President elect die before taking the oath of office on January 20th. He claims a flaw in the constitution and presidential succession act would cause nobody available to become president. The Speaker of the House would be in place during Congress‘ 1st meeting 1st week of January and he is next in line of succession. We are led astray!

Andrew65 @EadieB The last few books seem to have become very centred on US history. Is it still Scott Brick doing the audiobooks? 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 Yes it's still Scott Brick! 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB Is that good or bad for you? 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 I like him so it‘s good. How about you? Do you like him? 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB He‘s got quite a unique style but I think it works for the Cotton books. I know he isn‘t popular at all with some. 5y
EadieB @Andrew65 I‘m surprised! I really like his voice. 5y
Andrew65 @EadieB He has got a very distinctive voice. 5y

I haven't been posting much lately or reading due to massive amounts of work but I managed to get in a Steve Berry book this week! Another in the Cotton Malone series, it was good but too predictable - National Treasure meets Bourne. Motivations for the antagonist were thin and loose and there was some convoluted D.C. dancing. Not super impressed

I listened to 14th Colony on Audible. I loved it. Steve's books are meticulous history lessons with an entertaining fiction that makes it all seem real. #SteveBerry #CottonMalone

Latest in the Cotton Malone series. Overall, the later novels, which focus on US History, rather than World History have less oomph than the earliest in this series.
