Another sensational adventure to take you away and turn you around and around. Best read as part of the series this book has enough background to allow you read it as a stand-alone experience. Don't. The series is well worth the incestment in time.
I've read all of Matthew Reilly's books and eagerly await the next at closure of each.
Do that to me one more time.

I had to read it virtually non stop to the end. Being a lover of mythology and ancient history, and considering that 85% of the historical material is fact, this book was an absolute "Must" to read.
It is gripping and keeps you enthralled to its conclusion.
And now I'm ready to read the next instalment...

More twists and turns than Putty Road (New South Welshmen will understand the comment).
Jack West Jnr. Always comes out on top.
An easy read. Great bedtime reading. Recommended to those who like action and adventure.

Must be read back-to-back with The Six Sacred Stones.
This book concludes the story arc started in the previous novel, starting immediately from its cliffhanger ending.

Great book series, in the old fashioned "cliff hanger" style of old saturday matinee movies. Thouroughly enjoyable romp with Jack West Jr. Not for kids though as there is some swearing and gore.

This is a awesome serries of books. Mathew Reilly is one of the best. This is a story like an Indiana Jones movie. Except x100. A fast paced read that you will struggle to put down.

Thanks Matt for another epic ride. I'm not sure how these heroes and heroines live on 2 hours sleep a week but I'm glad they do. Too good to be true...sure! ...but too good not to be read.

Indiana Jones in a book

The non-stop action is incredible, ok it is farfetched but with hints of possibility. The most important thing is that it is immensely entertaining. True escapism. I read the trilogy racing to the end that I didn't want to reach , I had such fun and pleasure reading the books. I didn't think any book could reach the level of action and excitement of the Scarecrow series written by the same author but these books are just as exhilarating. It's like watching a film but words not pictures. The stories require no deep thought, no smut to fill pages or excessive profanity . so you can pass them on to family members of all ages. Thank you Mr Reilly for the many entertaining hours spent curled up shutting out the sometimes unpleasant world reading your books.

Another cracker by Matthew Reilly
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2016Verified Purchase
Having pretty much stumbled across the first in this series of novels by Matthew Reilly, I've become a great fan of his. His characters' adventures are gripping and full of twists and turns that one doesn't expect at all. How he comes up with such complex (yet easy to follow) plotlines and mixes them seamlessly with historical events and characters - to the point that you're not quite sure what is actually true and what is fiction (historically, not the actual storyline) - amazes me. I hope he writes another 4 books featuring Jack West - soon! I'm now off to buy some more of Mr Reilly's works. Somehow I think I'm going to enjoy them!

Amazing thought proving adventure
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 April 2017Verified Purchase
This book the 3rd of the Jack west Jr saga, brings the group of allies through a series of threat, trial and tribulations to stop the "end" of civilisation . Powerfully written, and a don't want to put down read. Yes rather gruesome in places, but the energy or each character is so powerfully written, they are 3 dimensional and you are overviewing all they are achieving or not as the case may be.

The 5 Greatest Warriors
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 March 2010Verified Purchase
This book more than makes up for the long wait for a great Jack West book.
Since "7 wonders", the story sort of dragged through "6" and we certainly expected the cliffhanger...BANG style of Riley to return the Huntsman to us for "5".
The story certainly is more grown up than the other two, oddly the dialogue is a bit age and person inappropriate... it almost on occasion degenerates to a "duh, dude.." rendition from a very post-adolescent West.
But the pace is the Excellent page-ripping, heart-pounding stuff we've come to know and love.
All too soon this book was over!
We learned, loved, lost and loathed in delightful proportion- with a marvellous sensitivity for the ancient relics and rites being battered by the suspension of disbelief. This balance is what Dan Brown has failed time and again to achieve, yet Riley does this consistently... effortlessly.
While he'll continue to struggle to get on the NYT Best-seller top ten list, we who know continue to appreciate the light and humorous, surprisingly well-researched fiction of Matthew Riley.

Is the scale beyond the author??
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2010Verified Purchase
Firstly, I have to say that I have been a BIG fan of Matthew Reilly for a long time, and I have had to think long and hard about what it is about his more recent books that is turning me off. For me Ice Station and Area 7 are still 2 of the most intense action filled books I have read, and I still don't think that many more measure up in terms of thrills.
However ever since Scarecrow, the books have been on a larger and larger scale, with the action being extreme, but there not really being the same sense of danger or action as there is in the more claustrophobic settings of the better books. It a bit disappointing that Matthew R has taken on a view that larger explosion=better action. This is not the case.
This book is a welcome end to the story that he started, and the action is very good. However, just as you start to get involved with a scenario, it ends (very much an anti-climax). You can see the difficulty he has had with the constant pictures placed in the book to help put a scene in the reader's mind. Compare this to his earlier work, whilst there were a few pics, the words themselves jumped off the page and left you breathless wanting more.
I really hope that Matthew will return more to his older ways in due course, as his books are in serious danger of almost making fun of themselves (and the loyal readers).
As a final point I wish he would stop puting things in italics to try to emphasise action or something dangerous - please credit your readers with the ability to actually understand these points for themselves. These are actually off putting.
