I received a complimentary copy in exchange for my review.  The Power Behind the Throne was a great read.  If you like political thrillers with some conspiracy theory and a secret society thrown in, you will like this book.  I liked the main character, a young man named Jack Hollander, who has just found out that Prince Charles is his biological father.  He was a believable character.  He didn't believe it at first as his grandmother has Alzheimer's so he thought this was a delusion. The action started right off in the book with an assassin stalking Jack, ready to kill him to prevent Jack from telling anyone this news.  I didn't have to wait too long before the reason for the assassination attempt was divulged.  This political thriller was a little different than most I have read as it used some real people and it also addressed a real conspiracy theory.  I enjoyed the book from beginning to end and cannot wait to read another book by this author.
