This is the third book in Matthew Reilly's Jack West series, picking up from where the previous novel, 'The Six Sacred Stones' ended on a cliffhanger (but there is a recap at the start of the book).
This book is typical Reilly - perhaps even more so, since most of the set-up for the story was done in the previous book, making this one a big action-packed rollercoaster from start to finish. All of Reilly's trademarks are present - breathtaking action sequences, certain-death situations with amazing (if a little implausible) escapes. The bad guys are suitably evil, one setting a whole new standard for it, and the good guys are suitably good, with their differences highlighted in the last words of one character. Reilly keeps the tension growing towards the end of the book, and with his propensity for killing off characters you can't be sure if the heroes will come through unscathed.
I could not put this book down, and regularly sat bolt upright in an 'Oh my God' moment. Even after finishing it, I still want more! I really hope he decides to write more Jack West books.
A word of warning, though, this book is pure action-thriller, so if you like your fiction deep and character-driven, stay away. Alternatively, if you're looking for a thrill, you're in the right place, and I hope you enjoy it (although it may be wise to read Seven Ancient Wonders and/or the Six Sacred Stones first to get the full backdrop to the story).

Loved it!
Action packed.
Jack West Jr is my hero!
I would like to see more with Lily involved, especially to see her develop after what she went through towards the end of the book (dont want to give some of the story away)!
And its always good to have some happy ending as well.
I'll definitely be looking out for the next book, regardless of the characters written!

This is the last book in the series about Jack West Jnr and his seemingly unstoppable group of loyal followers.
I love all of Matthew Reilly's books, have been a fan since I first read "Contest" and could not put it down! Didn't go to bed that night until about 3am!.
If you love adventure, and non stop action, then these are the books for you!
My favourite of all times is still "Temple" But I love all of his writing.

Matthew Reilly does not let his fan base down with this next exciting book, the five greatest warriors. This book is the continuation of the six sacred stones - where the book ends in a cliff hanger. The action is non stop in this book, like a rollercoaster with more dips and turns than can be expected. If there is one book you read this year, make sure this is it! for the action seeking reader. However I would strongly suggest you read the six sacred stones book first as this book is a continuation of that one. AA++ - highly recommended reading

This book rocks. Matthew Reilly just keeps getting better. You cant put this book down until it's finished, and then you are craving more.
Cant wait for the next one.
