The plot of this book was ludicrous! One of the protanganists, who works in a university, finds a letter written by Paul Revere to Alexander Hamilton, after the Revolutionary War. Revere is in England as some sort of ambassador/spy, and discovers a plot by the English to destroy the American economy and put Britain back as the rightful ruler of the colonies.Unfortunately, as we all know, the plot fails. Through the ensuing two centuries, this "plan" is passed down to succeeding generations of financiers, all of whom attend Eton in England. Every generation tries to put something in motion to destroy the American economy, but all the plots fail until the present one.... which is about ten minutes away from completion before it is thwarted.
If the title of the book had been "Whacko Englishmen's Vengeance" instead of the "CROWN'S Vengeance, it would have been a bit more acceptable. No where in the book is it ever intimated that the English ruling family is behind any of these plots that go no where. Instead, over the years it seems to have morphed into a few extremely greedy capitalists who want to bring about the downfall of the extremely greedy American capitalist economy.
How anyone could accept, even in a novel where one's imagination is always asked to be stretched, that one of our greatest allies, Great Britain, could want our downfall, is ridiculous. Had it been Russian spies, or ISIS behind the desired downfall, it could have been much more believable.
Having voiced my displeasure with the actual plot of the book, there were still some things about it that I enjoyed. For one thing, the lady protagonist and her male partner, while be hunted and shot at by assassins, at least had the presence of mind to fight back. When her man was in a chokehold, the woman picked up the proverbial frying pan and whacked the villain in the head, instead of just starting with wide-eyed fright at the scene.
I like the heroine because she had a concealed carry permit and her own gun. Unfortunately, she didn't keep the gun loaded, and this was the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. I have a CC permit. WHY would I keep my gun UNloaded? Duh!
The author's writing style was crisp and clean. No awkward lapses into page-wasting verbiage that wasn't apropos to the story. Everything moved along at a nice clip. The conversations were believable.]
I was also happy to see that this author could write about this man and woman who obviously had a sexual attraction without filling pages with verbatim sexual encounters. In other words, the author didn't describe sex scenes because he couldn't thing of anything else to write about. He didn't use them to pad his book and instead chose to rely on lots of action scenes and good dialogue.
There were a few awkward moments when the dialogue coming from the book's main villian reminded me of a gangster talking in a B movie, mainly towards the end, but on the whole, it was passable.
I understand there was a previous book written about these two characters. I have not read read, but I would consider doing so. Maybe. And despite my three stars, I would still recommend this book to others. Just keep in mind that the "idea" of a group of people trying to sink the American economy for over 200 years might be lame, but there are other redeeming elements to enjoy.

The Crowns Vengeance Parker Chase Book 2 edition by Andrew Clawson Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
First let me say that the entire underlying plot of the book is intriguing. The American greed is a likely candidate as any for bringing down the county. However, using England to do so was a rather low blow.
Where the book starts to crumble is during one of the ridiculously numerous shoot-outs and assassination attempts. And then to hear that the prior book in the series contains the same thing ... too much of a stupid thing is still stupid. I get it that the author wanted action, but this formula got repetitive very fast. And the CIA coming to the rescue just in time, I think I saw that in almost every movie I watched as a child. Come on, think of something new.
I enjoyed this political thriller involving a 200 year old plot to take revenge on England's former American colonies, whom King George blamed for the downfall of the British empire. Chase, a financial analyst along with his girlfriend, Dr. Carr, an American History professor, dodge death by assassin while uncovering a conspiracy to destroy the U.S. economy. Can they overcome overwhelming odds in time to prevent another depression and live to see the outcome? The author seems to have a good grip on the U.S. financial system and describes a somewhat frightening look into a non militant approach to undermine our country as a world power. Although the book was exciting, like many of the genre, the good guys never seem to use up all their nine lives. Perhaps I missed it, not having read the previous books in the series but I was curious how a former college football player and current business man seems to have skills comparable to OO7. Thus said, I recommend this book for its entertainment value and the author's choice to keep the language clean and avoid explicit sexual scenes.
The Crown's Vengeance by Andrew Clawson (sometimes appearing as The Crowns Vengeance without the apostrophe) is an ambitious book purporting to be about the revenge of George III on America for the successful Revolution. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite fulfill its promise. The plot is standard boy and girl in search of something while being pursued by very competent bad guys. The story hinges on the discovery of a letter in code written by Paul Revere to Alexander Hamilton concerning his discovery of an English organization formed to bring the new country to ts knees financially, thus revenging Britain's supposed fall from the world leadership position. Hamilton appears to have done nothing about this information, probably because Revere tends to conceal further communication in odd places in Boston. The exact timing is hazy, but one surmises that Hamilton was probably busy elsewhere working on the writing of the new constitution or, if the date is later than that, being Secretary of the Treasury in the new government. At any rate, he didn't drop everything to gallop off to Boston to hunt down letters which could just as easily been written in code also and entrusted to Ben Franklyn's splendid new mail service. The boy and girl are tasked to discover the identity of a two hundred year old organization operating out of Eton with the purpose of undermining U.S. financial security. I found the lack of grammatical mastery quite distracting and spent a lot of time mentally rewriting sentences to correct dangling participles and faulty pronoun references. The basic premise of the book is interesting, and perhaps if the author could tighten his writing style, he could turn out more gripping thrillers.
