I'm sad because I've now read all of Matthew Reilly's books at least once. I have to wait for his next book to be published: wait!! If anything, Temple is probably one of Matt's best books. In typical Reilly style it redefines fast paced and action packed, but this also feels more complete than the Jack West Jnr series. It is also one of his longer books, so plenty of entertainment in this novel to keep you going. In short, read it. I really enjoy Reilly's writing style. He really knows how to keep the action going and he creates some crazy fabulous scenes. The Temple was no different - action packed all the way. The only negative I have about it is I thought there one too many groups competing for the supernova and also I thought Race disabling it one time would have plenty. I didn't think another 100 pages was needed to introduce another like 5th?? 10th?? 30th?? competing group (I started losing count after 3) with Race disabling the Supernova entirely again for a 2nd time. Just thought that was way too much. no reviews | add a review

Deep in the jungles of Peru, the hunt for a legendary Incan idol is underway - an idol that in the present day could be used as the basis for a terrifying new weapon. Guiding the US Army is Professor William Race, a young linguist who must translate an ancient manuscript that contains the location of the idol. What they find is an ominous stone temple, sealed tight. They open it - and soon discover that some doors are meant to remain unopened. No library descriptions found. |

There were some interesting scenes. The falling tank would have been a great scene if I hadn't already grown to despise the book and just wanted to get to the end so that it would just be over.
One bonus is that I can be much more confident in my own writing, knowing that something like this can actually get published. ( )
