For me the best by far of all the Reilly books I have read (  ) AndrewCottingham | Nov 19, 2009 |  As usual, Reilly delivers. I'd read this book already but wanted to read it again in anticipation for the next book in the series coming out in Oct. ( ) Jarratt | Aug 8, 2009 | Like most of Matthew Reillys' novels, this one is action packed, fast paced, and never boring. As always the attention to detail is specific and authoritive, and yet he still manages to create a fantasy that is fantastic. Loved it! ( ) TheOneTree | Jun 20, 2009 | Matthew Reilly is not an author to be missed. 6 Sacred Stones is the 2nd book in the Jack West Jr. series. Like all Reilly books the world and mankind is about to be destroyed unless our hero is able to stay one step ahead of impending doom. The Jack West Jr. series doesn't really compare to his Scarecrow series, oh why oh why did you have to kill off Scarecrow??? However if you like an on the edge of your seat action meets science fiction type adventure Matthew Reilly can't disappoint.

THE END OF THE WORLD IS HERE
Unlocking the secret of the Seven Ancient Wonders was only the beginning...
After their thrilling exploits in Matthew Reilly's rampaging New York Times bestseller, 7 Deadly Wonders, supersoldier Jack West Jr. and his loyal team of adventurers are back, and now they face an all-but-impossible challenge.
A mysterious ceremony in an unknown location has unraveled their work and triggered a catastrophic countdown that will climax in no less than the end of all life on Earth.
But there is one last hope.
If Jack and his team can find and rebuild a legendary ancient device known only as the "Machine," they might be able to ward off the coming armageddon. The only clues to locating this Machine, however, are held within the fabled Six Sacred Stones, long lost in the fog of history.
And so the hunt begins for the Six Sacred Stones and the all-important knowledge they possess, but in the course of this wild adventure Jack and his team will discover that they are not the only ones seeking the Stones and that there might just be other players out there who don't want to see the world saved at all.
From Stonehenge in England to the deserts of Egypt to the spectacular Three Gorges region of China, The 6 Sacred Stones will take you on a nonstop roller-coaster ride through ancient history, modern military hardware, and some of the fastest and most mind-blowing action you will ever read.
