Lost in a good book

I just finished reading a marvellous book by Chris Kuzneski called The Lost Throne. The book had good story line, interesting characters, murder, mayhem and mystery. And as a bonus most of it was set in my favorite country Greece so that part gave me huge enjoyment as well.

The main characters are Payne & Jones who are former members of the MANIACs, a Special Forces squad that they once commanded. MANIAC is an acronym that stands for Marines, Army, Navy, Intelligence, Air Force, and Coast Guard. There was also a Finnish character called Jarkko, who actually got the last line in the story:

The Finn shrugged it off. 'That is fine. Jarkko does not mind tiny joke. Do you know why?' 'No,'Payne wondered. 'Why?' Jarkko put his arms round Payne and Jones. 'Because my friends, it is time to drink!'

To my delight there are 5 other books in the Payne & Jones series and the author is penning the seventh as we speak. Good stuff!
