THE LAST KINGDOM - STEVE BERRY TASCHENBUCH

From celebrated New York Times bestselling author  Steve Berry  comes the latest Cotton Malone
adventure  in which the discovery of a lost historical document challenges the global might of
the United States.   King Ludwig II of Bavaria was an enigmatic figure who was deposed in 1886
mysteriously drowning three days later. Eccentric to the point of madness  history tells us
that in the years before he died Ludwig engaged in a worldwide search for a new kingdom  one
separate  apart  and in lieu of Bavaria. A place he could retreat into and rule as he wished.
But a question remains: did he succeed?   Enter Cotton Malone. After many months  Malone's
protégé  Luke Daniels  has managed to infiltrate a renegade group intent on winning Bavarian
independence from Germany. Daniels has also managed to gain the trust of the prince of Bavaria
a frustrated second son intent on eliminating his brother  the duke  and restoring the
Wittelsbach monarchy  only now with him as king. Everything hinges on a 19th century deed which
proves that Ludwig's long-rumored search bore fruit - legal title to lands that Germany  China
and the United States all now want  only for vastly different reasons.   In a race across
Bavaria for clues hidden in Ludwig's three fairytale castles - Neuschwanstein  Linderhof and
Herrenchiemsee - Malone and Daniels battle an ever-growing list of deadly adversaries  all
intent on finding the last kingdom.
