The Lost Throne - Chris Kuzneski

...had started losing faith in the genre given the recently pedestrian efforts of the likes of Dan Brown, Clive Cussler and Sam Bourne and was despairing of finding a worthy new flag bearer for this kind of story. Like some of the more scarcely believable plot developments used to drive the story in some of more formulaic drivel I have waded through recently, I found a ray of light in the most unlikely of places. Our son had just been born and my wife ...
...so I wandered down to the hospital charity bookshop and randomly picked up a paperback that had a compelling looking cover. I wasn’t expecting quality - just something to pass the time - however, what I ended up with was a classy yarn from a writer totally new to me – a story that left me hungry for more. The book was “The Lost Throne”, and the talented story-teller was Chris Kuzneski. ===THE BASICS=== “The Lost Throne” is the fourth of Chris Kuzneski’s ...

Review of The Lost Throne - Chris Kuzneski

...his belt. He started with the Plantation, a book yet to have been released in the UK, and was followed by Sign of the Cross (2006), Sword of God (2007) and now The Lost Throne (2008). I have spoken to Chris by e-mail, after I had read The Lost Throne, and had to tell him how awesome it was, and he could do with all the reviews he can get, so I thought, for a first review, lets see if I can do him justice. I came across Kuzneski when I worked at ...
...and found Angels and Demons, the Dan Brown sequel to The Da' Vinci Code. Angles and Demons is out on film this year, so thought I would get ahead and give the book a read, since something I have learnt from Harry Potter, the films are NEVER anywhere near as good as the books. But a few hundred pages in, and a couple of weeks later, Angels and Demons disappeared, I searched the bookcase over and over, and was gutted since I had just got to the real ...

Review of The Lost Throne - Chris Kuzneski

When a Monastry high on the hills of a Greek Island is attacked and the occupants are killed there seems to be no reason for the horrid act. Each of the Monks had been beheaded and their bodies thrown from the cliff, taking the secret they'd been killed for their grave. Across Europe in Russia Richard Byrd fears for his life and calls upon the help of ex Special forces operatives Jonathan Payne and David Jones. He is about to discover the location ...
...discovery. This is the second of Kuzneski's novel's I've come across recently and I have to admit that I have thoroughly enjoyed both of them. Having picked up his first novel Sign of the Cross on a 3 for 2 offer I asked my fiancé to get me The Lost Throne for Christmas last year. This is the third in Kuzneski's novels following the adventures of Interpol agent Nick Dial and former American Special Forces agents Jonothan Payne and David Jones. While ...

Review of The Lost Throne - Chris Kuzneski

"One minute he was pondering the meaning of life, the next his life was over. No bullets,no blades, just gravity and the rocks below" Jonathan Payne and David Jones are 2 men who used to be part of an elite team that was called The 'M.A.N.I.A.C.S' (Marines, Army, Navy, Intelligence, Air force, and Coast Guards) that were brought in at times when the regular army/navy just weren't right for the job in hand. This time they have to save a damsel in ...
...to be lost forever if the Bad Guys get their way. A long time friend of DJ and Payne makes an appearance in the story too, Nick Dial a top level member of Interpol has been sent to discover why people were killed and along the way meets up with Payne and DJ in a very hair-raising way..... There are 76 chapters (77 if you count the epilogue) and each one is as action packed, thrilling and enticing as the last, as each character battles for their ...
