Matthew Reilly's The 5 Greatest Warriors (#579) is the final installment in this three part adventure series. It picks up right where The Six Sacred Stones (See my previous post.) left off; with our hero, Jack West Jr., falling seemingly to his death in an abyss.
Of course Jack isn't dead (or there wouldn't be another book!) but in his race to save the world by solving clues from ancient times, planted by an ancient unknown civilization and famous warriors in history, you think each time "This is it - he's not going to make it!" But he and his stalwart crew and adopted daughter Lily always squeak through, although not without severe consequences for some, if not all of them. Reilly even manages to provide a happy ending to this tale told at breakneck pace. For now, Jack's team is able to enjoy some peace and quiet, but author Matthew Reilly assures us in an interview at the end of the book that he will plan to write further adventures for this crew, counting all the way down to "1 Something Something".
If you like nonstop action mixed with a healthy dose of history and geography, Matthew Reilly is the writer for you. This series may be a few years old, but it's just as much fun now as it was when it was hot off the presses!
