Who doesn’t love a good adventure story? I have gotten hooked on Steve Berry’s Cotton Malone series and can’t wait to get to the next one. Today, I am bringing you the first lines to The Paris Vendetta:
GIZA PLATEAU, EGYPT
AUGUST 1799
General Napoleon Bonaparte dismounted from his horse and stared up at the pyramid. Two more lay in succession nearby, but this was the grandest of the three.
I really enjoy how Mr. Berry intertwines actual historical facts with historical myths and completely fiction writing. Every time I read one of these books, I have to have Google Images on a screen nearby to look up all of the places Cotton travels to. This book was great fun!

I love series that mix historical facts with fiction. Thanks for sharing. Here is my post: Mixed Book Bag
I enjoy stories where the author puts his fictional character into real historical events and settings. This sounds like a book I’d like.
Here’s the link to my Friday post: WEB OF TYRANNY.
I think this one is on my TBR shelf. Thanks for the reminder!
You’re welcome! I really enjoy the Cotton Malone books.
