Matthew Reilly continues his popular Jack West, Jr. thriller series with The Three Secret Cities (#796). A mixture of myth, legend and interesting historical and geographical factoids, it delivers non-stop action. Okay, so you do have to suspend belief for some of the developments, but hey, that's part of the fun! Since this is a countdown to the potential ultimate disaster for mankind if Jack West and his crew can't stop things from happening on a universal scale, there are at least two more adventures in this series before we learn if he is successful.
This particular adventure involves finding three immortal weapons, and locating three ancient fabled cities, overcoming the obstacles they find there, and empowering the weapons associated with that city to use in a ritual on the Altar of the Cosmos, location also unknown.
There's a high body count here, and some of the victims are quite unexpected. Or is the evidence before Jack West, Jr. an illusion? We can start breathing again as we await the next exciting installment.
