The main character is this guy who's half Japanese, half English. He's a
lecturer at a university, and is an archaeologist... but then again, he
works as an operative/detective for Lloyds of London. He used to be in the
SAS and is a veteran of the Falklands War, and was one of the members of
the Iran Embassy incident... it's Indiana Jones + Pineapple Army + some
other things rolled together. If you liked Pineapple Army, you'd like it.
