The 5 Greatest Warriors
by Matthew Reilly
by Matthew Reilly
So continues the adventures of Jack West, probably the greatest adventure hero since Indiana Jones. If you been following Jack's adventures in the first book, "The Seven Deadly Wonders", and the second book, "The 6 Sacred Stones", you know Jack and his crew are out to save the world and are quickly running out of time.
As in his previous adventures Jack and his crew are up against, what seems to be, insurmountable odds. They are being pursued and harassed by a force from the United States that is led by Jack's father and brother. Agents from Britain, Japan, and Ireland are also doing their best to beat Jack to the ultimate goal, In fact, Japan is working to see that the world does come to an end.
An ancient inscription is found that tells about five unnamed warriors. The first shall be the noblest, the second a natural leader of men, the third shall be the greatest warlord known to history, the fourth is the great obsessor, and the fifth shall face the greatest test and decide if all shall live or die.
Jack and his people come to the conclusion that the first warrior would be Moses, the second warrior Jesus Christ, the third warrior Genghis Khan, and the fourth warrior Napoleon, and the fifth warrior remains to be seen.
"The 5 Greatest Warrors" has just about everything you could want in a book. There is enough adventure to satisfy anyone who likes a good fight, fast action, and impossible situations. It will satisfy the romantic because there ia an underlying love story with some entanglement. The mystery buff will find therr are enough clues to be solved to fill several books.
However, one must be forewarned that these books must be read in order and that if you read one you will find yourself absolutely, positively, having to read the next two.
