"High-octane [...] A fun page-turner with historical elements."--Publishers Weekly

"When readers crack open a new Malone adventure, it's like reuniting with an old friend. Another strong entry in a consistently fine series."--Booklist

"What you'd expect if James Bond were an American who consulted with the CIA. Bring it on."--Kirkus

"Berry once again proves that history matters, skillfully crafting a fictional story around historical truths."--Library Journal

"What continues to amaze me about the Cotton Malone books is how Steve Berry can consistently find global stories about legendary loopholes or unwritten history that I am completely unaware of . . . Berry is in very limited company when it comes to thrillers of this magnitude, which includes those written by the likes of Brad Meltzer, Brad Thor and James Rollins. This series never disappoints!"

"History buffs especially will devour this quest story of sorts in which the truth is the rarest treasure of all. The number of rivals Malone must fend off in the process will similarly please fans of the wildly manic John Wick movies. Combined, that makes The Last Kingdom a page-turner of the absolute highest order."--BookTrib
