Any other thoughts, comments or questions on the fifth section?

Finally! This finally starts to resemble a Cotton Malone novel with some action. Great section and the first one I've actually enjoyed.

>2 Olivermagnus:. I agree! This was a fast moving section. I believe the last section will be as fast moving. I’m reading much if this via audio, and Steve Berry gives commentary after many chapters. Near the beginning of our last section, he said the pace was hearing up now, so he won’t be back for anymore commentary until the end-when he’ll do the ‘fact v fiction’ discussion.

Definitely a bit faster pace to the action in this section, with less threads going on.

What has got me thinking is the opening of chapter 54: “The Knight watched as Cotton Malone left the church of St. Magyar’s”, followed by the end of that first section where he “turned to his brother and said “We did it.””
To me, this says the mysterious ‘Knight’ we’ve been reading about all the way through, (ie the one who killed the Italian villa owner at the beginning, and who has been watching from the wings), is in fact Pollux.
Or am I wrong…?

Sounds a good theory.

I liked it and agree that it more resembles the other Cotton Malone book that we read. Much more action packed and less "here's some more history/intrigue/characters" to throw your way!

>6 Sergeirocks: interesting idea about Pollux being the Knight. It never occurred to me. I just kept wondering who it could possibly be..and when will he start to join the action. Lol
