About the book
Bestselling author Steve Berry’s trademark mix of history and speculation is all here in this provocative Cotton Malone thriller, The 14th Colony.
What would happen if both the president and vice-president-elect were to die before taking the oath of office? The outcome is uncertain - but one thing is for sure, it would result in total political chaos.
Shot down over Siberia, ex-Justice Department agent Cotton Malone finds himself in a fight for his life against Aleksandr Zorin, a man with a deep-rooted hatred for the United States due to his loyalty to the former Soviet Union.
Malone discovers that Zorin, along with another ex-KGB officer still operating in the West, is on his way to Washington D.C. with plans to exploit a flaw in the Constitution and a flawed presidential succession act on Inauguration Day. Armed with a weapon from the Cold War, Zorin is determined to carry out an attack.
With the help of a hidden secret within the Society of Cincinnati, America’s oldest fraternal organization, Zorin is set on wreaking havoc. Malone must race against time, starting in Russia and ending at the White House, to stop Zorin and confront his own fears that could jeopardize everything.
