Steve Berry has written a great stand alone story for his hero Cotton Malone. Using a somewhat alternate timeline to invent the British Royal family, Berry delivers a novella of political intrigue and murder. Cotton Malone is secretly recruited by the Queen of England to uncover a plot she fears is in motion to upset the line of succession to the established monarchy.I typically enjoy Steve Berry's fast paced action thrillers; however I wasn't fond of this one. It might have just been me, I may have missed it, but I don't know why he called this novella "The Tudor Plot", since there was much more about the Arthurian legend. I felt as if there were really two different ideas mushed into this one ebook, and I couldn't truly find the connection between them. As such, I felt slightly disconnected from the characters and their personal struggles and wishes.Because this novella is totally stand-alone, the reader doesn't need any of Cotton Malone's history to try this adventure out. Likewise, since it is totally stand-alone, the reader does not need to read this story to keep up with Steve Berry's Cotton Malone series.http://storeyonastory.wordpress.com/2013/05/28/the-tudor-plot-by-steve-berry/
