About this listen

From a celebrated New York Times bestselling author comes a Cotton Malone adventure in which Cotton unravels a mystery from World War II involving a legendary lost treasure known as Yamashita’s Gold.

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.

Retired Justice Department Operative Cotton Malone, is in Switzerland doing a favor for a friend. But what was supposed to be a simple operation turns violent and Cotton is thrust into a war between the world’s oldest bank and the CIA. He quickly discovers that everything hinges on a woman from his past, who suddenly reappears harboring a host of explosive secrets.

From the stolid banking halls of Luxembourg, to the secret vaults of Switzerland, and finally up into the treacherous mountains of southern Morocco, Cotton Malone is stymied at every turn–until he finally comes face-to-face with the Atlas Maneuver.

What happened to all the gold the Japanese hid in bunkers in The Philippines during World War II? And the Nazi gold stashed in banks in Luxembourg that was used to finance covert post-war activities? And the bitcoin locked away in blockchain in who knows where? These questions propel Cotton Malone in The Atlas Maneuver, catalyzed by a chance reunion with an old flame who coincidentally is the person (fictional, not IRL) who invented bitcoin.

I have to admit, despite being a work of fiction, I learned more about bitcoin and blockchain from Steve Berry that I have ever learned before, and I tried to learn about it before but was, as most people are, seriously confused (and I'm a former computer professional, imagine how much more confusing it is to a non-techie). This is one of the few Berry books where the present-day mystery / mcguffin is more interesting than the historical mystery / mcguffin.

Another plus compared to recent Cotton Malone stories is the elevated presence of Cassiopeia Vitt. Even though they pursue separate plot threads, it's refreshing to have her work the mysteries alongside Cotton. Scott Brick's narration is not as much of a distraction as usual, but I just can't give him five stars, I am just so turned off by the sound of his voice even when he performs well.

I have read ir listened to each of Steve Berry’s books. I look forward to each new book. The Atlas Maneuver just might be my favorite. The weaving of actual history with myths and fiction makes each story hard to put down.

The Future of Finance??

Bitcoin gets only moderate attention these days, so it’s nice to get so much detail about how it operates. Novices like me are always curious.

Steve Berry almost always builds his plots around current events but also adds a historical background into them; The Atlas Maneuver is no exception.

And what more can be said about Scott Brick? It’s no wonder more and more authors are engaging his talents.
