1945. In the waning months of World War II, Japan hid vast quantities of gold and other stolen valuables in boobytrapped underground caches all across the Philippines. By 1947 some of that loot was recovered, not by treasure hunters, but by the United States government, which told no one about the find. Instead, those assets were stamped classified, shipped to Europe, and secretly assimilated into something called the Black Eagle Trust.

Keeps the writing fresh!

Barry is continually making the Cotton Malone character the centerpiece of his writing yet he keeps making the story fresh and engaging. Always a great read/listen!

From 1783, when German immigrant John Jacob Astor first arrived in the United States, until 2009, when Brooke Astor’s son, Anthony Marshall, was convicted of defrauding his elderly mother, the Astor name occupied a unique place in American society. The family fortune, first made by a beaver trapping business that grew into an empire, was then amplified by holdings in Manhattan real estate. Over the ensuing generations, Astors ruled Gilded Age New York society and inserted themselves into political and cultural life, but also suffered the most famous loss on the Titanic.

Wonderful narrator, detailed biography

Of course I love Anderson Cooper’s voice work! Who wouldn’t?! Wonderful biography of the Astors and in depth enough without being too much like a textbook. Definitely ready for more from Cooper

Matthew Keating, a one-time Navy SEAL—and a past president—has always defended his family as staunchly as he has his country. Now those defenses are under attack. A madman abducts Keating's teenage daughter, Melanie—turning every parent's deepest fear into a matter of national security. As the world watches in real time, Keating embarks on a one-man special-ops mission that tests his strengths: as a leader, a warrior, and a father.

Great story and wonderful cast
Revisado: 01-08-24
The Clinton/Patterson pairing continues to make magic! Initially I was skeptical about Bill Clinton co-writing fiction (especially with someone like James Patterson, a great author in my opinion). But the first and this most recent book are really great! I’ve really enjoyed the full cast of voice actors in this particular book and honestly, Tony Goldwyn sounds so much like Billy Bob Thornton that I have a difficult time believing it isn’t Billy Bob. (It is wonderful casting though!!) I’m now looking forward to future collaborations

At 16, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But those trifling problems aren't for Jane to worry about. Jane gets to be queen of England. Like that could go wrong.

You've lost your daughter. She's addicted to drugs and to an abusive boyfriend. And she's made it clear that she doesn't want to be found. Then, by chance, you see her playing guitar in Central Park. But she's not the girl you remember. This woman is living on the edge, frightened, and clearly in trouble. You don't stop to think. You approach her, beg her to come home. She runs.

Great performance by Steven Weber!

I enjoyed the book and Coben provides another engaging tale but I think Weber's performance really brings it to life.

In a Stockholm museum, thieves steal an enormous Norse rune stone, but not before killing a security guard. When Nina Wilde, head of the International Heritage Agency (IHA), and her husband, ex-mercenary Eddie Chase, arrive to investigate, they are told a chilling story. A scholar has discovered that the stone may be one of two keys to finding the mythological site of Valhalla, where the Vikings predicted the world's final battle would begin.
