The Lost Order

I just finished reading Steve Berry's new Cotton Malone adventure novel, The Lost Order, and thought it was a very good read.  It was an exciting story, and all the familiar characters from the other books in the series are there.  As usual, a secret from the past will change the world (or in this case, the U.S.) in a horrible way if Malone does not act immediately.  Also, for the first time in 3 books, Berry does not paint Franklin Roosevelt as some sort of evil, scheming devil.  Lately Berry has let his conservative political beliefs intrude in his stories, and I must say, it detracts from the books as a whole.  In one, he even says that states have a perfect right to secede whenever they want, and that Lincoln knowingly knew this when he began the Civil War.  Spoken like a true southerner.  But like I said, this story puts aside the politics, and is therefore definitely worth a read.
