The Devil's Gold (Short Story)

De: Steve Berry

Narrado por: Scott Brick

The New York Times bestselling author of The Jefferson Key brings you a short story that takes readers on a perilous hunt for . . . The Devil's Gold

Once he was called the Sphinx, a man so inscrutable that neither his adversaries nor fellow intelligence operatives could predict his next move. Now a contract agent with a secret mission, Jonathan Wyatt has gone rogue. For eight years he’s been plotting. Waiting. Scheming to kill Federal agents Christopher Combs and Cotton Malone, whom he blames for the loss of his career. But as Wyatt prepares for a final confrontation in a remote South American village, he makes a discovery that stretches back to the horrors of World War II, to the astounding secret of a child’s birth, to Martin Bormann and Eva Braun—and to a fortune in lost gold.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Devil's Gold (Short Story) to be better than the print version?

I am so glad a fan of this author mentioned this is an introduction to Cotton Malone series.
I purchased only because of the reader, and will try a full length version of author's work.
I love these short stories as they give a great preview of author's skills.

If you could rename The Devil's Gold (Short Story), what would you call it?

"the Last Days"

A Cotton Malone short without Cotton in it

This is an interesting short story set firmly in the Cotton Malone universe. His presence is mentioned, but the man himself, does not appear here. Also unusual for this series, which is, at it's heart a series about historical mysteries, is that the history here is relatively recent. In the past we have dealt with mysteries going back hundreds to thousands of years. Here we have a story rooted firmly in the 20th century.

The story is mostly standalone, but teases a follow-up that will include Malone in a much more significant way.
I recommend this book.

Scott Brick makes the audio books of Steve Berry

Good short story

This was my first book (really a short story) by Steve Berry. Based on this, I will definitely be buying more of his longer works. It's an good action story, with Nazis, gold and murder. The characters are a bit thin, which is understandable given the overall length of the piece, but it still works. The ending is not as good as the premise, but it's ok.
