Everything you'd expect from Matthew Reilly June 27, 2008
As Greg said in his review, if you're looking for thoughtful factual realistic stories then you need to put this book down and head for the grown ups books. Reilly writes action adventure for big kids. History is a there to be used as a starting point and where it goes is straight from the imagination.

The plot is completely mad, the action is none stop, the gadgets and getaways are 3 fields to the the left of the left field, but it's fiction not fact and fiction is supposed to be crazy and wierd.

I love Reilly's books I can read them again and again because they are escapist fun

Indy reborn! June 26, 2008
When i picked up my first Matthew Reilly book (Seven Ancient Wonders) I was hooked, I immediately ordered all of his back issues of Contest, Temple, Ice Station, Area 7, and Scarecrow. They were all subsequently devoured within a matter of days!
In "The 6 sacred stones" Reilly returns to my favorite character Jack West Jr, or more simply Huntsman.
This story picks up approximately 18 months after S.A.W. and delivers all the action and adrenaline that are the trademarks of Reilly's method of writing with african cannibals, submarines, and chinese prisons being some of the epic plot devices that are used to keep the story hurtling onwards.
Previous reviews have slated this story for being a part of a series, and while it is a little frustrating, I for one will be eagerly awaiting the next installment.
It is a truly spectacular cliffhanging ending too!

Can't wait for the sequel June 11, 2008
could not put this down, loved every page and didn't want it to end, finally realized towards the end that there had to be a sequel and was most disappointed i had finished it.

Fast paced all the way

I am reading this book at the moment and loving it, it is as good as the last one if not better but as I have raced through it and am nearing the end it has dawned on me that it is to be continued....., that takes nothing away from this excellent book I just hope he hurries up and finishes the next one very soon! I would have delayed reading it if I had realised but am eagerly anticipating the next one!

Just like the previous titles Matthew Reilly does a great job entertaining. With a combination of facts, fiction and science fiction this is again a great roller coaster ride for people like me who what to be entertained. The story and imagination is fun and it's easy to read. This is like Die Hard 4.0, The Fifth Element and James Bond in book form.
