This novel put both Hawke and me a little out of our comfort zones, as we both prefer a good old-fashioned international hunt for ancient relics and treasures. While I felt that thanks to the presence of Medusa this was still in that ball park, the murky world of Washington politics put a different slant on things. As regular readers will know by now, I like a good helping of humor in my adventure novels and I hope I managed to achieve that in this story.
As it happens, Joe will return in VALHALLA GOLD (Joe Hawke #5), which is a return to his regular world of hunting down ancient lost treasures and taking out super-villains in the process… and he also gets a chance to visit some exciting international locations as well as build some bridges with old friends and play in the Caribbean on jet skis for a while… I just thought he deserved a holiday. I hope you can join us for that. It should be released in the Spring of 2016 (or the Autumn of 2016 if you’re reading this Down Under).
Finally, I want to thank everyone who has left me a review on Amazon. It really means a lot to a writer when a reader takes time out to leave a review, even if it is just a line or two. Reviews are an essential part of the writing process and will really help the Joe Hawke series, so, sincerely, my thanks to you. Also, don’t forget you can keep up-to-date with the series on my Facebook page here: http://bit.ly/RobJonesNovels, and my website or join my mailing list here: www.robjonesnovels.com
Anyway, I have to go — Joe Hawke just called and asked if I want a beer. Frankly, I think I could drink him under the table. What do you reckon?
With best wishes, dear Mystery Reader,
Rob
