Great, fast-paced action thriller, with a hint of good humour. The book follows several different narratives, unrelated at first but brings them gradually together in a skillful fashion - the tie-ins between them are revealed to the reader in a pleasingly satisfying manner. The underlying plot is original and interesting.

This is my second Kuzneski book and he's quickly becoming one of my favourite authors - Payne and Jones are very likeable characters who have really been given a character of their own. ( )

I love this series! I cannot wait to read the next book

Another very good helping in the Jonathon Payne and David Jones series. This book rotates around a military incident in South Korea involving someone Payne and Jones trained when they were in the MANIACs, and a potential terrorist incident. I love the humour in this series between Payne and Jones, which reminds me of Myron Bolitar in the Harlan Coben books - both series make me regularly laugh out loud! The historical backdrop is always seamlessly woven in without affecting the story, something in my opinion Dan Brown could learn from. I have read a number of books in this series (not necessarily in order) and I very much look forward to picking up the next one! 4.5 stars, rounded up to 5 for Shelfari. ( )

Sword of God starts well and continues to build momentum throughout the story. It's written in an open style that makes it easy to read. It's a little predictable and I think the author could have developed the mystery and the back story a bit more. That being said it was an enjoyable read. ( )
