Not quite the level of quality I've come to expect from Steve Berry I've been reading Steve Berry's Cotton Malone series from the beginning. And its been quite an adventure. A great combination of action, suspense, and history. My favorite books are the ones that have me frequently turning to Google and Wikipedia for more information on subjects covered in the narrative, great and small. And Steve Berry never fails to disappoint in that regard.The Lost Order lives up to those criteria, more or less. But, for me, this book just didn't seem to be up to the same level of quality that I've come to expect from this series. The underlying historical subject matter was interesting .

Now and then he gets called to do tasks for a price which helps his money flow. This particular novel talks about the Knights of the Circle to whom Cotton is related to from his mother's side of the family.What I like about these novels by Steve Berry is how he twists hist
