"Special agents Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine take on a ruthless mastermind in the fifth highly anticipated thriller in the New York Times bestselling A Brit in the FBI series. When several major political figures die mysteriously, officials declare the deaths are from natural causes. Then the German Vice-Chancellor dies on the steps of 10 Downing Street, and a drone is spotted hovering over the scene. The truth becomes clear--these high-profile deaths are well-constructed assassinations, and the Covert Eyes team is tasked to investigate. With the help of Dr. Isabella Marin, a young expert in the enigmatic Voynich Manuscript and cryptophasia (twin language), Nicholas and Michaela home in on Roman Ardelean, a wealthy cybersecurity genius and a descendant of fifteenth century Romanian Vlad the Impaler--often romanticized as Dracula. Ardelean believes the Voynich Manuscript will unlock the secret to curing his severely ill twin brother's blood disorder and is willing to murder anyone who gets in his way, including Nicholas and Michaela. Along with MI5, the Covert Eyes team must race against the clock to find Ardelean before he unleashes a devastating attack on London intended to destroy those he believes betrayed him. With heart-pounding tension and gripping suspense, New York Times bestselling authors Catherine Coulter and J.T. Ellison "are really on an amazing roll with their outstanding A Brit in the FBI series" (RT Book Reviews)"-- "Special agents Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine take on a ruthless mastermind in the fifth highly anticipated thriller in the New York Times bestselling A Brit in the FBI series"--… (altro)

Synopsis: 'When several major political figures die mysteriously, officials declare the deaths are from natural causes. However, when the German vice chancellor suddenly dies, a drone is spotted hovering over the scene. This raises questions abut all the high-profile deaths. The covert Eyes Team is tasked to investigate.
With the help of Dr. Isabella Marin, an expert in the inscrutable Voynich Manuscript and cryptophasia (twin language), Nicholas and Michaela hone in on Roman Ardelean, a wealthy cybersecurity genius and a descendant of Vlad Dracule III - who came to be known as Dracula, Ardelean believes the Voynich Manuscript will unlock the blood secret to curing his severely ill twin brother and is willing to murder anyone who gets in his way, including Nicholas and Michaela. Along with MI5, they race against the clock to find Ardelean before he unleashes a devastating attack on London, destroying those he believes betrayed him.' From the book jacket.
Review: Although interesting, the story went on longer than necessary. ( )

These books are like crack! Outlandish and kinda ridiculous at times, but I can't give them up. This one had twins, cyber warfare, vampires, the voynichese manuscript, drones *and* falcons, and it was amazing and crazy and I loved it. I'm not sure if the book would stand alone to someone who hasn't read the earlier books in the series, but I suspect it's fairly easy to pick up the important stuff.

Drones, drones and more drones! Plus computer hackers, falcons, vampires and more! I have to say, this writing duo takes this series in a different direction with every book and this was a wild ride. Heads of state are being assassinated and drones are spotted in the area. A crazy mastermind is behind it because, of course. FBI Agents Nicholas Drummond and Michaela Caine are on the case, and it’s complicated by the fact that everyone’s tech equipment has been compromised. Imagine having to go back to not being able to use cell phones or computers safely. Hard to do! The villain this time was a bit kooky and there sure were a lot of falcons(!?), but I quite enjoyed the thriller aspect of it. A fun ride!

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.

It was good to read another book about the adventures of Nick and Mike. This one intersperses the history of Vlad Dracul III, vampirism, Romanian gypsy lore, possible ties to Rasputin and Bram Stoker with modern day cyberwarfare and very futuristic drone technology.
The plot was quite enjoyable and very fast paced but sometimes, it was hard to keep track of the various intersecting plot lines. I was fascinated by the whole mystery about the Voynich manuscript and how it was ingrained into the evil twins in the story.
My only problem was that the various interactions in the book didn’t feel right , especially the ones between Nick and Mike felt very off and sometimes even silly and not really like them.
But overall, this is a fun read, especially for the fans of the series and I flew through the book in a single sitting. ( )

I have loved Catherine Coulter books for years, and this one hasn't changed my mind. Action packed story, with lots of twists and turns. A little confusing in places because of backstory information, but I got used to it pretty quickly. I love seeing familiar characters back and finding out what happened from the last story. Now I can't wait to see what happens to Mike and Nicholas in the next book!
