Fantasy

I've become a fan of Chris Kuzneski, and this one did nothing to change my mind. It's a fast-paced action thriller with a sprinkling of humour that won't let you get bored. As is often the case with this sort of book, we are not only entertained but also stand to learn a thing or two about history (with the obvious caveat that some of it may be altered to suit the story) - I enjoy that.

I enjoy the camaraderie between the two main protagonists, which I find endearing without being schmaltzy.

The only negative comment is that the climax was a little anti-climactic - it looks a lot like a setup for a sequel. ( )

This series just keeps on getting better! I am as always amazed by the level of research that goes into one of these books. ( )

A good read that held my interest throughout and kept up a pace throughout. Would definitely read a Chris Kuzneski book again. ( )

This was a humorous, fast-paced mystery with a nice blend of history and action. Even though Payne and Jones, are not in the same class of hero as Matthew Reilly's Jack West Jr, they were still worthy protagonists and I look forward to reading more of their adventures in other books. ( )
