7 Deadly Wonders

De: Matthew Reilly

Narrado por: William Dufris

The Golden Capstone atop the Great Pyramid at Giza offered protection from the global flooding and scorching sun that occurs every 4,500 years due to the Tartarus Rotation solar event. But Alexander the Great broke the Capstone into seven pieces and hid them in the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

Now, in 2006, another Tartarus Rotation is due, and whoever places the reconstructed Capstone on the pyramid in time will gain absolute earthly power. Everyone wants the Capstone - from the most powerful countries to terrorists - and one daring coalition of eight small nations who think that no single country should possess such awesome power.

Excellent Choice

This was an excellent choice. The writing is superb and fast paced, action filled. The narrator was wonderful, creating audible accent differences making it seem like there were multiple different speakers of this multi-national team.

Reads like a B movie

While it was entertaining at times, the author’s characters, plot, and odd take on international politics were that of a high school sophomore writing a fiction for English class. The narrator had an odd way of pronouncing some words and seemed to really struggle with maintaining an Australian accent.

My first Audio book where I think paper is better

Matter Reilly is an awesome storyteller and I have read all the Jack West series. This the first Audiobook (and I have plenty in the library) where I think paper is better than MP3. Maybe I can read at a faster pace giving me the feeling of an adventure... Just as it was written.... Anyhow I will try the next because the stories are truly wonderful... Just on tue edge of fantasy with lots of reality to ground the reader.... See you again later Jack. Steve

OMG

Hod on to your horses, because this book will bring you many sleepless nights!

One wonderful Rollercoaster, and history lesson at the same time. Not that you'll notice the amount of insane research that it must have taken, but it shows in the elaborate traps that our hero finds himself in.

Rejoice for this is the first in a series!

amazing

I've read this book before, and still love every word of it , can't wait to start the next one, again

One of my favorite books combining history with a little fantasy aspect like Indiana jones.

Went in 100% Blind! Wow!

Never heard of Matthew Reilly.
Listened to it on a recommendation.
If you like Indiana Jones, and action movies this is a great listen.
Had a ton of fun listening to this, and it kept me wanting.
