“Steve Berry truly has outdone himself here and, as wild as the plot twists get, the book never loses credibility or plausibility. The Kaiser’s Web is one of the most insightful, timely, and exciting reads of the year.”

“Thrilling . . . Berry skillfully lays out yet another tantalizing historical what-if, this one connected to Hitler’s last days in his bunker below Berlin.”
— Publisher’s Weekly
“In the mesmerizing The Kaiser’s Web, the tried and true Steve Berry exceeds even himself in crafting his most ambitious and relevant thriller to date. A no-holds-barred, high-stakes romp with echoes of class spy novelists like John le Carré, Len Deighton, and Alistair MacLean.”
— The Providence-Journal
“The Kaiser’s Web is a high-class combination of The Boys from Brazil meets Remains of the Day. It’s more substantive than the former and faster-paced than the latter.”

“A new Cotton Malone edge-of-history action novel, well up the bestseller lists again this time. The historical invention is untiring. European history may be radically re-written and contemporary politics remade by what the team is about to discover about Hitler in his fatal bunker. If you’re not already a regular, this is a fine place to start.”
— Sullivan County Democrat
“The Malone novels are formulaic, sure, but the formula is a good one and Cotton [Malone] remains a likable, entertaining series lead. Keep’em coming.”
— Booklist
“Cannily mixing historical research with florid inventions that fill in gaps, Berry presents an ominously up-to-date world whose frenzied nationalism is a direct descendant of the Thousand-Year Reich. Hitler may not live, but Heil Hitler is alive and all too well.”
— Kirkus Reviews
