The Five Greatest Warriors

A Novel

De: Matthew Reilly

Narrado por: Steven Crossley

IT BEGAN WITH SIX STONES . . .

From the deserts of Israel to the tsunami-lashed coasts of Japan, from the steppes of Mongolia to the most mysterious island on Earth—this is what we have come to expect from Matthew Reilly: stupendous action, white-knuckle suspense, heroes to cheer for, and an adventure beyond imagination. Strap yourself in and hold on tight as he unleashes his biggest and fastest adventure yet, The 5 Greatest Warriors.

When we last left Jack West Jr., he was plummeting into a fathomless abyss and his quest to save the world from impending Armageddon appeared doomed.

But all hope is not lost.

After an astonishing escape, Jack regroups with his trusty team. Racing to rebuild the final pieces of the fabled “Machine,” they discover an ancient inscription containing a rhyme about five mysterious unnamed warriors—great historical figures whose knowledge will be vital to unlocking the secrets of the Machine and its long-lost “pillars.” But the ancients have hidden their secrets well, and with each pillar bestowing an incredible power upon its holder, their pursuit has attracted the attention of other forces from around the world—some who want to rule it and others who want to see it destroyed.

With enemies coming at him from every side and the countdown to doomsday rapidly approaching, Jack and his team had better move fast. Because they are about to find out what the end of the world looks like . . .©2010 Matthew Reilly; (P)2010 Simon & Schuster

Very suspenseful

The suspense in this story was fantastic. The story was well-written and very well conceived.

Great.

love these stories, great adventure and lots of action, with awesome details of historic elements. but I geuss it's a pet peav... Steven Crossley needs to learn the difference between the letter 'O' (Oow) and the number '0' (zero). When he was telling the timing's of event, he would say 'Ooow six oow oow' made me so mad, not trying to be a grammer nazi. otherwise great story.

Loved it!

So good, loved the voice, the accents , the suspense 👍👍👍👍 I can’t wait for this to be made into a movie!

fantastic book

Really enjoyed this book. Great charactets and lots of action. Also liked all of the history woven into the story.

Predictable but fun

Overall, fun listen but very predictable in the story line. The ending is exactly where you expect to be left when you started the story.
