Another action packed story divided into seven missions to collect the pieces of gold capstone for the great pyramid of Giza, as foretold in hieroglyphic inscription, at a set time and place in alignment with the sun.
As always about power – Europe v American and the Church v Freemasons and West for the Australians! GO AUSSIES!
This man has an amazing imagination along with lots of research on the latest array of mean machines and ancient civilizations making his stories exciting, yet with the sensitivity of friendship and loyalty to his fellow comrades.
West is charged with raising ‘Lily the oracle’ while locating pieces of capstone and lastly performing a ritual.
Quote ‘Cower in fear, cry in despair wretched mortals’ describes this tale well. I marvelled at the enormous achievements of past civilisations that built the wonders of the past, doesn’t say much for we idiots who live today and cannot even build a house properly let along a gothic church.

Thousands of years ago, a magnificent golden capstone sat atop the Great Pyramid of Giza. It was a source of immense power, capable of bestowing upon its holder absolute global rule for a thousand years.... But then, in 323 BC, the capstone was broken into seven pieces and spread to the corners of the Earth, hidden within the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. Now, with the coming of a rare solar event, the time has come to locate the pieces and rebuild the capstone.

Jack West Jr is an adventurer - a bit like Robert Langdon meets Indiana Jones. He and his team are in a race to find pieces of an ancient artifact that could save the world or enslave it for 1,000 years. Like Robert Langdon in Dan Brown’s novels, the team is guided by ancient texts that only one of the team can read. And like Indiana Jones, they face many difficulties layered with traps and dangerous competitors.
In my opinion, this book is a great read with almost non-stop action. What spoils it is the pseudo-science, pseudo-religion, and pseudo-archaeology. But I felt that the pace of the action masked a lot of the fakery. I gave it 4 stars out of 5.

I have to admit to really enjoying Matthew Reilly's novels and I quickly became a big fan of the hero Scarecrow , so I was unsure about getting into a new hero, Jack West JR, but as usual his writing had me hooked from the very first pages of this book, I found the writing fast paced, and also very educational and now I am going to get the second novel in this series, maybe I am biased, because I love his writing style but this novel comes highly recommended and I can't wait to start the next one. Thank you Matthew Reilly for your books that keep me awake as I can't put them down :)

Not sure what this book was meant to be - I am an avid reader of fantasy books but for me the fantasy has to be convincing, magical and believable all at once. This book was none of those things.... I love make believe, but truly this story was so ridiculous it made me wonder if it was meant to be comedic. It didn't make me laugh though. It seems a lame attempt to copy the Indiana Jones stories and I am sorry but it left me cold and I have no desire to read any more of these novels - life is too short to waste my time.

The first of the Jack West Jr series introduces us to Jack and his team in their quests to save the earth again, and again, and again. Once you start listening (or reading the book) you can't stop. Lots of cliff hangers in the story. Very enjoyable, but not recommended for kids due to the swearing.

I loved this book the first time I read it, and I just loved it again. So exciting, and so vividly descriptive. Not sure if I'd actually like the characters if I actually met them, but they're great friends to read about. I'm re-redoing the 7,6,5 books in preparations for the 4 coming out (Finally!!) later this year.

I enjoyed it, it wasn’t my favourite Matthew Reilly book to date as I did find the action scenes a little repetitive.
I got to a point where I felt it was a struggle to read through. It's too predictable.
Overall it’s a good entertaining read, not get me wrong, he is a great writer, but I'd go to his other books if you are reading this.

I am a true fan of Matthew Riley’s novels. I have hard copies of each of them. The 7 Ancient Wonders is an intriguing fictional novel that starts the reader on a countdown. You need to continue reading the Jack West series - it is different to Scarecrow(which by the way I enjoy immensely).

Matthew Reilly places you in the spot where it is all happening. I found it difficult to put this book down as each page captivated my imagination and transported me there... to the point where I felt myself standing among them, smelling their sweat and hearing their breathing. Well done Matthew, I'm hooked.

Matthew creates characters that readers (and women) will love. Strong role models, action, drama and history all woven together.
Perfection.
Just ensure you read them in sequence (oh and block out a large chunk of time because they are hard to put down).

I can't believe that this was my first Matthew Reilly novel. I'll certainly be reading many more - in fact I've already purchased a second one. Unbelievably fast paced adventure. Brilliant!
