Inhaltsangabe
From celebrated New York Times bestselling author, Steve Berry, comes the latest Cotton Malone adventure, in which the discovery of a lost historical document challenges the global might of the United States.
King Ludwig II of Bavaria was an enigmatic figure who was deposed in 1886, mysteriously drowning three days later. Eccentric to the point of madness, history tells us that in the years before he died Ludwig engaged in a worldwide search for a new kingdom, one separate, apart, and in lieu of Bavaria. A place he could retreat into and rule as he wished. But a question remains: did he succeed?
Enter Cotton Malone. After many months, Malone’s protégé, Luke Daniels, has managed to infiltrate a renegade group intent on winning Bavarian independence from Germany. Daniels has also managed to gain the trust of the prince of Bavaria, a frustrated second son intent on eliminating his brother, the duke, and restoring the Wittelsbach monarchy, only now with him as king. Everything hinges on a 19th century deed which proves that Ludwig’s long-rumored search bore fruit—legal title to lands that Germany, China, and the United States all now want, only for vastly different reasons.
In a race across Bavaria for clues hidden in Ludwig’s three fairytale castles—Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee—Malone and Daniels battle an ever-growing list of deadly adversaries, all intent on finding the last kingdom.

Another great Cotton Malone adventure
I have truly enjoyed Steve Berry’s novels so far and this one is no exception. Set in my home state of Bavaria it was especially exciting to hear about Cotton’s latest adventure. The characters, including Luke Daniels, are interesting and well written. And the plot is fast paced and sometimes I ask myself whether Mr Berry’s fictitious events might not be true as they sound so believable. Hearing about “The Kini” Ludwig II was not only entertaining but also very educational. The story revolving around a deed given to Ludwig by the Hawaiian king is an interesting idea.
As a Bavarian citizen I would certainly enjoy calling Hawaii a part of Bavaria😂.
The only thing which almost made me stop listening to the audiobook was the pronunciation of German words and the accents of the native German characters. Even though English is not our native tongue, most of Germans are indeed able to pronounce “th” properly. And it also seems strange to me that characters have a sophisticated English vocabulary but can’t pronounce “and” but use the German “und”. I would really appreciate it if audiobook producers employed native speakers to support the narrators in portraying people from countries other than the USA in a more authentic manner.
All in all, I enjoyed the novel. Can’t wait for Luke and Cotton’s next adventure. But I might read the novel next time rather than listen to the audiobook.
