Sword of God

I am just discovering Chris Kuzneski's thrillers; and have already gotten addicted -- not only because of the action and thrills, but also because of the research behind the entertainment. "Sword of God" demonstrates considerable research into Islam and Mecca, rendering the action believable and engrossing. I thought about docking a star for Dick Hill's reading -- which, in my opinion, sometimes verges on over-acting -- but decided not to, because I liked the book so much, anyway.

Kuzneski has created some truly memorable characters in Payne and Jones, and comes up with such unique story lines. Starting off in Korea and ending up where we do in Sword of God is amazing. So many cookie cutter books about battling terrorists, but this one has a twist that you won't see coming. I'm hooked on Kuzneski, and I've seen of criticism of Dick Hill's narration, he does a great job on the last 3 I've read. I'm loading up The Lost Throne next.

This book was a little slow to start off, but soon picked up to what Kuzneski is used to doing.
The storyline was a little weaker than previous Payne & Jones series, but does not fail.

worth waiting for.....

the speed of his reading.

yes

Another good book by Kuzneski

Yes but not to anyone in the church. Way to much foul language. With it being based with men of the Maniacs from the special forces you about have to expect it. Other than the language, it is a great story line and enjoyable listening experience for the special forces lover. It has exciting and funny parts. I think it started a little slow, but after a few chapters and a lot of discription during the read it is enjoyable.

I have not finished the book yet so I can not judge it yet.

The chase scene and catch.

When they entered the blood soaked cave.

If you get this audiobook I think you will enjoy it.

I found the characters to be hollow and the dialog stiff and laborious. I also found Dick Hill's narration to be... condescending? It's hard to explain but his delivery sounded forced, making some of the dialog worse. And I couldn't shake the idea that he sounds a bit like Gandpa Munster. However, the plot was good enough to keep me listening to the end so it wasn't a wasted credit.

I'm going to guess that if you enjoy books like One Second After, you'll enjoy this one.

During a down time in new books available, I went back and listened to this older Kuzneski book. I enjoyed it and if you like the duo of Jones and Pain then you will enjoy this book. Its a good listen when you cant find anything new that is good to listen too

To be honest - the ONLY reason that I bought this book is because it was narrated by Dick Hill. I do like the author's style, and as Dick Hill has stayed with him; I will continue to purchase his other novels. Kuzneski's writing style is better than most in this genre - and I look forward to more adventures with the rich characters (Payne and Jones) that he has created.
