jack West jr is never out of danger. Just when he thinks he and his family are safe, are dragged into another quest almost immediately. He is now on a quest to find the three secret cities but before that he needs to find three special weapons all this so they can find an alter and perform a special task to save the world.

Following the games in [b:The Four Legendary Kingdoms|29603980|The Four Legendary Kingdoms (Jack West Jr, #4)|Matthew Reilly|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1513257487l/29603980._SX50_.jpg|49943268] the royal world is thrown into turmoil and they all blame Jack West Jr. There are some who want revenge upon him and others who to take advantage of the situation. One does not know who to trust. But Jack is only interested in saving his family and the world.

This is another rollicking adventure and very enjoyable but only you are will to suspend reality and just go with the flow.

What in the t*rt*re p*rn 

This one was very difficult to read. 

Also would not be a Matthew Reilly book without horrendously over-repeated sentences. Half the reason the book is so long. Bit insulting that he needs to constantly step it all out for his audience EVEN THOUGH WE DISCUSSED IT LITERALLY 3 PARAGRAPHS AGO.

Lol not me being critical of these books. We are not here to read groundbreaking literature. Ily Matt xx

I reread this in preparation for the next one coming out next week, and I couldn’t remember what had really happened through this one. These books are always a ton of fun, with crazy action scenes, over-the-top villains, and some great twists on history/mythology.

A lot of fun. This is a grey holiday book. Something much faster and easier to read while you kick back. Very enjoyable action sequences and I love the sudo-history as well. Looking forward to the next one!

Sometimes what is needed most is an action-packed, outrageous and entertaining epic adventure series with clear heroes to love and villains to hate. Matthew Reilly's books are so much fun to read. I have really enjoyed re-reading this series in preparation for [b:The Two Lost Mountains|53726516|The Two Lost Mountains (Jack West Jr, #6)|Matthew Reilly|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1591278167l/53726516._SY75_.jpg|84049658] - can't wait!!
