review 1: Reilly has chosen good subject. However, there is visible slack at times in any of the 3: story, narration and characters. Reilly has made wonderful attempt at creating an alternate power center, beside US & UK. Yet, it's bit surprising to miss out few other important players.The book premise about discovering original 7 wonders is somewhat doubtful, yet I had let it all go for the reasons of delightful exploratory details on the wonders itself. The history, stories and facts of the wonders makes for wonderful reading. Good to read if interest is to explore of ancient history.
review 2: Captain Jack West Junior has lived for ten years with his team and a little girl called Lilly in preparation for a mission that will determine who will rule the world for the n
... moreext thousand years. The action packed adventure begins on the first page with this small team racing trough swamps, breaking codes, conquering menacing ancient traps and battling armies from the two great powers of the world. Against these immense odds the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World reveal the pieces of the puzzle that grants world domination to the winner - whoever that may be.Again, Matthew Reilly spins a fast paced action adventure that is equally enjoyable for anyone loving page turning suspense. His descriptions and sketches of the Ancient wonders and their amazing yet simple traps, these enthrall the reader who is breathless with anticipation at each new revelation. Seven Wonders was originally released in 2006. His writing appeals to men and women, as his ability to add a human interest into the battle worn soldier’s outlook is heartwarming.A quote on his website: 'To anyone who knows a writer, never underestimate the power of your encouragement.' - Matthew Reilly less
