I got a little lost at times, with all the characters and conflicting agencies. Then there’s the easily explained entity called Bitcoin. Not. Despite these observations I enjoyed the book immensely. Since I devoured it, it will need a reread in the not too distant future. Steve Barry is a genius and the Atlas Maneuver is a gem. One further note. We’ve worked in and then visited Morocco for years. No one would get away in that marvelous country with the shenanigans contained in this book. But, hey, that’s fiction.

Always getting better..!

As usual Cotton Malone to the rescue.

Very enjoyable book with a follow on book definitely implied. Well worth reading especially if you are interested in bitcoin at all.

The European station chief for the CIA Derrick Koger is trying to lure Cotton Malone away from his Copenhagen book store to help him investigate possible illegal activities involving Luxembourg’s Bank of St. George and its ruthless chief operating officer. It evolves around an immense cache of gold that the Japanese hid on Luzon Island in the Philippines at the end of WWII . Turned into bitcoin with various parties claiming ownership. An excellent read!! Enjoyed immensely

An intricate and thrilling plot with lots of history and spies to make it super fun, as always Steve is superb story teller.
