More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"Kuzneski's writing has the same kind of raw power as the early Stephen King."
Product Description
Tunnelling deep under one of the most holy cities in the world, an ambitious young archaeologist slowly works her way towards an unthinkable goal. Somewhere ahead is a chamber containing the collected fragments of an ancient scripture, a find of unimaginable significance.
Meanwhile, halfway around the world, a covert military bunker holds a macabre secret. An elite special-forces officer seems to have been brutally murdered – but how, and more disturbingly, why? Any hope of solving the mystery rests on the grisly clues that remain.
As the race to uncover the truth begins, a plot unfolds that could burn all of civilization in the fires of holy Armageddon.

Format:Paperback
I love Chris Kuzneski books but if your not a fan of 'edge of your seat' action films then you are not really going to like these books. The Sword of God is the third offering from Chris Kuzneski and it follows the usual format. Most of your favourite characters are back including the indestructible Payne and Jones and the storyline is packed with death and destruction as per usual. This book features the usual religious aspect that Kuzneski likes to include and he handles the subject with a fair amount of accuracy as usual.
Worth a read, a good book for the beach.

Yet again, Kuzneski proves he is up there with the best of the Thriller writers!
The second book of his I eagerly read, (after Sign of The Cross)and I wasn't disappointed!
There are some negative reviews for Kuzneski, and for the life of me I can't fathom them out...were they reading the same book? lol
With Payne and Jones, Kuzneski does it again! Infamously brave, relentlessly determined, and hilariously funny. The story unfolds at break-neck speed and doesn't slow down, taking you all over the world, nail biting, sometimes terrifying, but ultimately an amazing read!
Kuzneski is definitely onto a winner with this charismatic duo, long may they reign, and long may Kuzneski continue to entertain us.

This was one of those books. You know. The one which you can't put down because every chapter has you wanting more. Got to love thrillers.
Thriller checklist:
Female protag - check. Two of them. Shari's a civilian, archaeologist, not quite on the right side of the Saudia Arabian law but she keeps her head underground. Literally. The other one, Kia, is a military interpreter. Both get put in danger a lot, and witness horrific scenes.
Military involvement: the good guys (and girl).
Weapons: happy sigh. Good range of arsenal (guns, C4, the usual).
Life or death scenario: it's not every day warped individual want to unite the Islamic community by blowing up the most revered site, Mecca, and blaming the Americans. (For the record I'm against violence, and like all people, of all religions).
This made a pleasant change from the other thriller's I've read (based on Christian or extra-terrestrial artefacts). Not that I didn't enjoy the others - I did, tremendously. Just nice to have something a little different. There's the usual friendly banter between members of the military team, a little bit of romance (not much smush, I promise). There is detailed gore and violence, so probably not for the faint hearted.
Why are you still here? That timer on world destruction is ticking - go read!

Boring and annoying, in equal measure
I'm in complete agreement with J. D. Whittle on this one, although I made it about half way before putting myself out of my misery and giving up. Read more

Awful
This was so bad I gave up after 100 or so pages. The dialogue and overall writing is shocking. Two action man characters who are totally predictable and unconvincing. Read more
