Seven Ancient Wonders | Jack West Jr #1 | Matthew Reilly | kharidobechobooks

Seven Ancient Wonders by Matthew Reilly is a rocket-fueled, high-stakes action-adventure thriller that kicks off the internationally bestselling Jack West Jr. series with the grandest treasure hunt in human history. Precisely 4,500 years ago, a magnificent golden capstone sat atop the Great Pyramid of Giza, possessing an ancient power capable of granting absolute global rule to whoever held it for the next thousand years—until it was broken into seven pieces and hidden deep within the booby-trapped architecture of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Now, with a rare, world-ending solar event rapidly approaching, an elite team of underdog nations known as the Alliance of Minnows—led by the brilliant, bionic-armed Australian super-soldier Captain Jack West Jr.—must race across the globe from the Egyptian pyramids to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Facing off against cutthroat military forces from global superpowers and decoding cryptic ancient texts, this relentless, blockbusting adventure delivers breakneck pacing, hair-raising stunts, and pure adrenaline-pumping suspense from the very first page.
