Jason and the Sargonauts
(Kalo mina! Happy month.) Today’s blog post is actually me (writing on November 7th). It’s one of those adverts I warned you about, this one though is for ‘Jason and the Sargonauts’ a perfect Christmas gift if you have run out of ideas for what to buy certain people. It’s a comedy set on Symi past and present, a mix of historical facts and hysterical acts – well, maybe not hysterical, but it’s light-hearted. And if you look closely you will see that it does follow the Jason myth too. Here’s the official blurb and the links to where you can order copies and Kindles.
A mysterious iron chest arrived on the island of Symi, Greece in 1882 and was immediately hidden for its own safety.
121 years later and Jason is working as a holiday rep for SARGO holidays. When his grandmother turns up as one of his guests she brings with her a locked cigarette case, left to Jason by his recently departed grandfather and given to him on Symi in 1944. The case is opened and reveals a piece of music, but the music is not what it seems and Jason and his small group of pensioners soon realise that they have stumbled on a secret that has been kept hidden on Symi all these years. A secret both dangerous and valuable.
Jason and the Sargonauts is a contemporary comedy adventure full of fun and mystery, ‘A comic, camp and musical romp.’
Reader’s review:
“This is Dan Brown meets Whitehall Farce with a bit of education about Symi’s history thrown in for good measure. Set on the Greek island of Symi, it’s a fast paced whodunnit with lots of laughs and loads of page turning moments. Yes, it was hard to put down.
This book deserves a large audience and stands up there with the best novels about contemporary Greece.”
