Today we are joined by thriller fan and book reviewer - The Saturday Dad (@dad_saturday on twitter/X) to discuss The Alexandria Link by Steve Berry - book #2 in the Cotton Malone series.
We explore the historical themes, character dynamics, & plot twists that define the book, comparing it to its predecessor, 'The Templar Legacy.' The conversation delves into the importance of setting, family relationships, and the pacing of the narrative, culminating in a scorecard evaluation of the book's action, plot, and buy-in.
