The Seven Ancient Wonders
Just finished reading these 2 amazing books by Author Matthew Reilly, The Seven Ancient Wonders and The Six Sacred Stones. They are both part of a trilogy, the third of which is yet to be published.
The Seven Ancient Wonders
The story of the seven ancient wonders tells us how a group of people from the "not so super power" nations of the world today saves the world from total annihilation. Jack West Jr. (from Australia) is joined by his friend Professor Epper from Ireland and a few others from countries like Israel, UAE.
They set out to recover the seven pieces of the apex of the Grand Pyramid of Giza. Yes the Apex which is also pyramidal in shape is missing from the main pyramid. According to the book the apex is divided into seven pieces and hidden along with the seven ancient wonders of the world. Jack and his team must recover the pieces in time before the day of the Tartarus rotation.
Tartarus rotation is the day one of the hottest spots on the Sun aligns with earth. According to Reilly, The Earth will be destroyed unless the Seven pieces of the apex of the pyramid are found and placed on top of the pyramid. For on that day the hottest spot will align exactly with the Great Pyramid and the presence of the apex will consume all the Sun's destructive energy and earth will be saved.
However, there is another twist to this tale. Legend says that when the sun does align with the pyramid, if soil from any country is placed inside the apex, then that country becomes the most powerful country in the world.
Now to decipher the clues and find the ancient 7 wonders requires one to know the ancient language of Thoth. Today only the Oracle of Siwa and his/her descendants know and are able to speak this language. Thus Jack's first mission was to somehow find this Oracle of Siwa (Some place in Africa).
In his quest to find this Oracle Jack discovers that he is not the only one out to find the seven ancient wonders. He is faced with not one but 2 enemies, one the brutal western fiend represented by the United States of America Army and the other Europe led by the Vatican and a priest.
I guess i've written too much here. All and all its a magnificent book for someone who likes a bit of adventure, action and also for someone who likes a bit of history. Grab a copy today and enjoy the Seven Ancient Wonders.
Note: This book is also titled The Seven Deadly Wonders
The Six Sacred Stones
The Six Sacred stones is the sequel to the Seven Ancient Wonders. Relaxed after the successful mission of the Seven ancient wonders, Jack is nicely settled in his home town Australia when he discovers that Tartarus was just the beginning. The Earth is still not safe, and he has some new enemies.
A thrilling Novel with superb twists and an unbelievable ending that'll make you want to read the third one :)
