( It is the biggest treasure hunt in history with contesting nations involved in a headlong race to locate the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. 4500 years ago, a magnificent golden capstone sat at the peak of the Great Pyramid of Giza. It was a source of immense power, reputedly capable of bestowing upon its holder absolute global power. But then it was divided into seven pieces and hidden, each piece separately, within the seven greatest structures of the age. Now it's 2006 and the coming of a rare solar event means it's time to locate the seven pieces and rebuild the capstone. Everyone wants it - from the most powerful countries on Earth to gangs of terrorists ...and one daring coalition of eight small nations. Led by the mysterious Captain Jack West Jr, this determined group enters a global battlefield filled with booby-trapped mines, crocodile-infested swamps, evil forces and an adventure beyond imagining. 'More action, hair-raising stunts and lethal hardware than you'd find in four Bond movies. Reilly is the hottest action writer around' - "Evening Telegraph".

I have really enjoyed all of Matthew Reillys books, and always been hanging out for the next one to come out. But i was sadly dissapointed with this one as I spent alot of the time thinking "seriously?!" But it very easy to read, and a great book for a holiday.
Without a doubt...the BEST book i have read

I bought this book whilst on my summer holiday simply for something to read by the pool and to pass the time and did not really have a ora of optimism about the book to be honest.
That however, all changed when i began to read the book and became compelled to read on, as i was engulfed by the brilliant writing of Matthew Reilly.
From start to finish the adventures of Jack West Jr and his team are even more embrasing and you cannot put the book down.
I urge anyone to read this book
It is truely a page turner.
Kudos to M. R.
one of the best books ever
