Reviews"An absolute bone crusher of a thriller! Matthew Reilly is the king of hardcore action. 7 Deadly Wonders had me turning the pages so fast I had blisters on my fingers, and my heart pounded so hard it sounded like a helicopter was landing on my roof! For stay-up-late, can't-put-down-ability, Reilly is the master. If you buy only one action-adventure novel this year, make it 7 Deadly Wonders." -- Brad Thor, national bestselling author of Blowback, "Matthew Reilly is known for adventure with a capital A. In this latest book Reilly pulls out all stakes -- and beats you over the head with them. A relentless, dizzying romp around the Seven Wonders of the World. Don't forget to pack your parachute!" -- James Rollins, USA Today bestselling author of Sandstorm and Map of Bones

SynopsisThe New York Times bestselling author and pedal-to-the-medal action novelist (Publishers Weekly) is back in high gear on the greatest treasure hunt of all time--a headlong race to find the seven wonders of the ancient world., Matthew Reilly, theNew York Timesbestselling author and "pedal-to-the-metal action novelist"(Publishers Weekly),is back in high gear on the greatest treasure hunt of all time -- a headlong race to find the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.In ancient times, a Golden Capstone was placed atop the Great Pyramid at Giza during a rare solar event called the Tartarus Rotation. Once every 4,500 years, a superhot sunspot -- the Tartarus Sunspot -- aligned itself with Earth and caused immense worldwide flooding and sun-scorching. It is said that when the Capstone sat atop the Great Pyramid, no such flooding or solar damage occurred. And, according to legend, whosoever places the Capstone on the pyramid at the next Tartarus Rotation will gain absolute power over Earth for the next 1,000 years.In 2006, the Tartarus Rotation will come again, but the Capstone is nowhere to be found.With the fate of global dominance hanging in the balance, nearly every world power sends forth its troops to locate the Capstone. Among them are the United States, the European Union, Israel, ruthless terrorists, and one other unusual force: a coalition of seven smaller nations that have decided that the Capstone is too powerful for any one country to hold.So they band together against all odds and send an eight-man team to take on all the great forces in the chase. Led by an Australian super-soldier named Jack West Jr., the team includes a Canadian professor, two crack Irish commandos (one of whom is female), a Spanish paratrooper, a Jamaican soldier, an Arab commando, and a daredevil New Zealand pilot. And with them always is a little girl named Lily, the ten-year-old daughter of the Oracle of Siwa -- one of only two people in the world who can decode an ancient text that leads to the Capstone.This stalwart group embarks on a global journey filled with booby-trapped mines, stupendous ancient wonders, gigantic evil forces, and adventure beyond imagination.From the Colossus of Rhodes to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, from the Lighthouse at Alexandria to the Great Pyramid itself, fasten your seatbelts and hang on as the author ofIce StationandScarecrowtakes you on the adventure of your life!
