The Patriot Threat

Taxing. The tenth novel by Steve Berry to feature protagonist Cotton Malone is titled, The Patriot Threat. This time out, Malone is drawn into a case that might prove that the 16th amendment might be invalid. If evidence that the federal income tax is invalid falls into the wrong hands, the United States economy could go into freefall. Berry entertains readers who like this sort of thing by providing a series of historical facts, and then speculating with abandon. I’ve gotten so used to Malone from this series that I have become willing to overlook the shortcomings of the prose, and found myself well-entertained by an exciting story.
