A Sequel Well Worth Reading! Nov 18, 2009 If you haven't read Seven Deadly Wonders, I highly suggest reading it first as it is the predecessor to this story. If you've already read it, or if you want to know more about the story of Jack West and his gang before purchasing these books, then please read on.
I dove right into this book immediately after finishing Seven Deadly Wonders. Reilly really brings everything back into the fold so it's easy to pick back up from the events of Seven Deadly Wonders. This time we find Jack West and crew in search of six pillars located at different ends of the earth in order to stop Earth's destruction yet again, but this time, from a force unseen. New friendly faces are added to the story and new antagonists are introduced, including one that will explain a lot about Jack's past. As always, there is sheer action and adventure around every corner and a lot of "history" that will have you fact checking over and over again.
This story flows smoothly and engulfs the reader just like its predecessor. The illustrations from Seven Deadly Wonders are also present in this book. Reilly really takes the guess work out of the settings with layouts and diagrams to assist the reader. Before you know it, you've finished the book, furious with the cliffhanger (yes folks you'll have to read Five Greatest Warriors to conclude this tale). I highly recommend this book as well as its predecessor Seven Deadly Wonders. Be sure to read my review for Five Greatest Warriors upon its U.S. release in January 2010.
Aw C**p! A cliffhanger! Aug 26, 2009 I hate the ending! This is like a season ending series cliffhanger on TV! How long must we be kept in the "Dark" to see if the hero survives!!! Great read, couldn't put it down!
For the Fans Jul 26, 2009 This book is like all of Reilly's works, over the top and very entertaining. I would honestly suggest that anyone who has never read one of his books check one out from a library before buying. His stories aren't on the same level as Brown, Rollins, or Cluster but they aren't meant to be. From an historical stand his stories are ridiculous. But that is why his fans love him. The end of this book was frustrating but a great cliff hanger
Uninspiring Jul 16, 2009 I apologize to those who enjoy this book, but I found the characters flat, story out of control, and ideas poorly connected. This is all delivered and justified under the banner of "over-the-top adventure." However, I thought it was really just an average story told poorly. I love the premise... the jacket blurb sold me, but the fundamentals of a great read were all missing for me.
A pleasent surprise Jul 13, 2009 When I ordered this book, I assumed it would be a paperback given the price was so low. I was very pleasently surprised when it arrived and I found it was a hardback book. So not only was the book a fun and enjoyable read, it is a hard cover book that will last much longer than paperbacks do.
I will order from these folks again!
