Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

The wildly imaginative Reilly has taken inspiration from comics, video games, movies, thrillers and Code-style puzzle novels to create this rocket-fueled sequel to his 7 Deadly Wonders. After completing a 10-year mission to acquire the Golden Capstone of the Great Pyramid from what's left of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Jack West Jr. has retired to the Australian outback to raise his adopted daughter, Lily. Jack's pal, Professor Max T. Epper, known as Wizard, has discovered that the Dark Sun, a mysterious heavenly body, is due to emerge in nine days, triggering the Apocalypse. Ultimate disaster can only be averted if someone can locate the six legendary Pillars, cleanse them with the Philosopher's Stone and insert them in the 6 Vertices, thereby causing the Great Machine to power on and negate the fatal blast from the Dark Sun. If anyone can perform these Herculean labors, it's Reilly's resourceful hero. A pervasive tongue-in-cheek quality (one that extends to the low tech–looking maps and illustrations) will help readers find this outlandish adventure thrilling. (Jan.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow..He just keeps getting better and better!, Jan 28 2008

By	DailyBagel "Daily Bagel" (Calgary, AB) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The 6 Sacred Stones: A Novel (Hardcover)

Seeing this book in the store I automatically picked iut up and finished it in days. This book is toally absorbing. Non-stop action and absurd storylines just make it that much more fun....The only issue...I have to wait for the next book.

6 Sacred Stones ends with a cliffhanger, and what a cliffhanger it was. I just can't even think what Matthew Reilly will do to conclude this epic story.

If you want action and adventure look no further then this one. Now remember, don't take it too seriously and just have fun. Best book of the year so far and the next one should be even better...

4.0 out of 5 stars Go! Jack West Jr. Go!, Feb 24 2009

By	N. Drouin "tell me about books" (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Six Sacred Stones (Paperback)

This is a good one. It was my second MReilly book but my first Jack West Jr. book and my only mistake was to start with book 2 (with this one is). It didn't matter. Fast past without long extended chase description etc. this book has a good pace and is the second of three books. Start with number one and go for this one after.

2.0 out of 5 stars Meh, Jan 29 2009

By	Fuzzy Bunny - See all my reviews

This review is from: Six Sacred Stones (Paperback)

I loved the rest of his books but this one didn't do anything for me. His other books were a lot more fun but this wasn't. It felt like he was writing for an audience that included movie and film people and this was his script. I found that he did a lot of explaining instead of action (there still was a lot of action though).
I also didn't find it very interesting.
I think maybe he was trying too hard with this book instead of just letting his natural talent flow.

This was my first Matt Reilly book and I must say it is the most absurd, silly book I have ever read. Read more
