This book has all of the action, thrills, and danger that I expect from Matthew Reilly.

Reviewed in Australia on 12 October 2019

Welcome back Matthew Reilly! I’m a long time MR fan and love the energy and extreme reality of his action-packed books. The latest book in the Jack West Jr. series is a winner. The big settings, the action, the impossible situations, and the clever escapes and outcomes are signature components of MR’s writing.

Having read all of the previous books in the series, I must mention that the one before this book (The Four Legendary Kingdoms) was my least favourite – It seemed to have ventured into an even more surreal world than that of the other books. MR fans know his books are over-the-top (think of a major motion picture with incredibly complex settings packed with traps, action, explosions, surprises, and extraordinary escapes). When the previous book (4) seemed to have crossed over to another realm I was worried that Jack’s story had passed its best. But, I’m very pleased to say that this new instalment, The Three Secret Cities, has reinvigorated the Jack West Jr. series.

Although it continues on from the ‘four’ book, its settings were grounded in a more real world, which I found easier to relate to and ‘believe’. As usual, the cast of characters was substantial, but even with all of their sub-plots in play, Jack still remained the core focus as he tried to save the world from oblivion. Without revealing anything specific, there were twists that I didn’t expect (nor hoped for) that knocked me for six. But that’s what books do – they draw you in, they engage you, they make you happy, they make you sad, they keep you hooked.

Jack West Jr. is back. This ‘three’ book in the series has all of the action, thrills, danger, complexity, and impossible escapes that I expect from Matthew Reilly. Thanks MR for continuing to share Jack with us.

This book is a great part of the ongoing stories by Matthew Reilly. I love them, wish they’d come out quicker. They do read like an action movie so I wouldn’t say they are finely nuanced but are packed full of action, and leap from scene to scene. Great escape fiction. I enjoy the different characters and the links to Australia. I also acknowledge the research that goes into the historical facts used, I appreciate the accuracy.

Matthew Reilly never fails to excite & impress. I have read all his books & wait avidly for his next. I can't put them down, so when opening this book, be prepared for late nights. It leaves you breathless, as do all his books, as it catapults from one life threatening event to the next.
As always, I highly recommend this book.

Does not disappoint

The newest book is just as action-packed and thrilling as previous works by Matthew Reilly.
It continues right where The Four Legendary Kingdoms ended, and once again ends with a cliffhanger.
Because it is a sequel, readers must read the previous books in the series first, and I highly recommend reading the Shane Schofield/Scarecrow series up to Scarecrow beforehand.

A must read!

Matthew Reilly does it again

Reviewed in Australia on 24 November 2018

As you would expect, very fast paced. Although the 'solve an ancient puzzle' theme is similar to the rest of the novels in the series, he applies the formula well so it was a very enjoyable read- I can now forgive him for the Great Zoo of China

And the story of Jack West Jr continues at break neck speed and complete enjoyment. I can hardly wait for the penultimate book in the series and then the final book some time later. I have never read a bad book from this author and I am sure any further publications from Matthew will be equally enthralling. I also think these books would make a mind blowing movie series equal or better to anything already done. Keep up the great work.

Really Disapointing - I won’t read another.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2018

Where to start? I have read all of Matthew Reillys novels and this is by far the worst. Ill judged and poorly written it is extremely disappointing.
When Reilly was at his best with Ice Station & Temple the writing was much more adult and in depth. I rank Ice Station as being one of my favourite books ever. However this is truly awful. Childlike script and a lack of depth.
Having read 4 Legendary Kingdoms again prior to this, I was hoping it would be a little more grounded this time. How wrong can you be.
I will not spoil anything but the destruction of a tower block in New York City and the terrorist incident outside of the Houses of Parliament are completely ill judged and were hard to read considering recent atrocities in both places. All I could think was ‘how has anyone signed off on this’.
I think that Reilly has a team around him now who can not say ‘No’ to his woeful writing. I am aware he has had many personal battles. But this is extremely poor and truly laughable. I won’t be reading any more of Reillys work. He has gone downhill at a rapid pace. Sorry.

Classic Reilly - suspend all notions of reality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 November 2018

(spoiler included) If you're buying this book, then I assume you've read all the prior books in the series and know what to expect, which is a lot of crazy, unbelievable and fast moving action scenes. You get all the familiar characters and some other characters from Matthew's other books - The prior book, the four legendary kingdoms, had scarecrow, and now the three cities has Aloysius Knight. There are a few deaths too, which I feel were a bit pointless and doesn't change the storyline much.

My niggle is that the kindle version is £11, but currently you can get the four legendary kingdoms at £0.99! I don't know how Amazon is pricing these books but it feels very overpriced. If you can wait a few weeks, I think the price will come down.

Bring on the next novel, the two....?

This book wrecked me. It had all the heart pounding action, body clenching angst but also the heart breaking sorrow that other books had. I don’t know if Jack West Jrcan pull this back in time. Every time the team thought they were a step ahead they were firmly placed teo steps back!

As usual, Matthew Reilly produces a fantastic adventure that left me feeling throughly emotionally wrung dry. I had remembered how invested I had become in these characters but hadn’t realised just how emersed in this story I was. Parts of the book had me genuinely in despair but the small seed of hope is planted right at the end.

Can Jack and the team really survive and reign vicious this time? I can not wait for the next book to find out! I’m going to read all of his other books again till I get my next Jack West Jr fix.

History, Action and tissues!!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 January 2019

I love Matthew Reilly's books (even if he does have a habit of killing off my favourite characters) and I enjoyed this book as it is well researched (I love the way he uses modern day to explain ancient histories myths and legends) but I read his books for the action and adventure, the unbelievable escapes and never ending bullets but found the fight sciences a bit few and far between in this book. I was wondering at one point if there was going to be any heros left for the next book.
I did enjoy it but think I will have to buy a box of tissues before I purchase the audio book to add to my collection.

Truly one to be avoided unless you're 6 or 7 years old

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 August 2019

Have read all of Reillys books but certainly no more. He's gone from adventure books that were gripping to books that made you go "hmmm really?" To this piece of absolute drivel. Childish, idiotic, unbelievably absurd by any standard. Almost as if it were written by a child. How the publisher has the nerve to release such a work of idiocy is beyond me. Avoid at all costs.Ireally did try to get through it but have up less than halfway through. If I could have given zero starts I would.
