As mentioned before, Siger's novels are slowly increasing in complexity. This one centers on military coup plans, which are a daily topic of conversation in Greece. The old joke was: If you have one Greek, you have a garden. If you have two Greeks, you have a restaurant. If you have three Greeks, you have a political party. If you have four Greeks, you have a revolution. That's basically what all of these books are about, with the topic varying only with how many Greeks are involved.
Another aspect of Siger's stories is the increasing frequency and detail of sex scenes. While mostly treated lightly, they rarely advance the story. Speaking of silly sex, Siger also manages to get in a dig at the orange ogre, who was just beginning his rampage through logic, legality and lying.
When we lived in Greece, in the 60s, Santorini wasn't yet the tourist hellhole that it, and Mykonos, have become. I've been to many of the Aegean islands, but I miss those farther south.
