The Columbus Affair: A Novel (with bonus short story The Admiral's Mark)
“An engrossing stand-alone thriller from bestseller Berry.”—Publishers Weekly “This being a Berry production, every alliance is of course fragile, and the bonds among even the heartiest teammates are up for grabs. So is the ultimate goal, for the author gradually reveals that Columbus’ lost gold mine is only chicken feed compared to the real bonanza at stake. Less The Da Vinci Code than American Treasure. Think of Nicolas Cage, tearing up the scenery as Tom Sagan, to the background beat of popping corn and you’re halfway there.”—Kirkus Reviews Praise for Steve Berry “Berry raises this genre’s stakes.”—The New York Times “As always with Steve Berry, you’re educated about significant things while your knuckles are turning white and the pages are flying by.”—#1New York Timesbestselling author David Baldacci “For those in need of a comparison, think Jack Bauer and the hit television series24,with twists, turns, schemes and counter-schemes manifesting themselves by the second. . . .
