Review Quotes

'"Reilly has crafted a fantastic follow-up to The Four Legendary Kingdoms. The clever mix of history, mythology and geography make this one of the best action-thrillers published in the past few years." --Washington Post on The Three Secret Cities

"Buckle in and enjoy the ride. Another spectacularly fun romp from the reigning master of high-concept adventure!" --Booklist starred review of The Four Legendary Kingdoms

"Nobody writes action like Matthew Reilly." --Vince Flynn on Seven Deadly Wonders

"The wildly imaginative Reilly has taken inspiration from comics, video games, thrillers and Code-style puzzle novels to create this rocket-fueled sequel to his 7 Deadly Wonders...A tongue-in-cheek quality (one that extends to the low-tech looking maps and illustrations) will help readers find this outlandish adventure thrilling." --Publishers Weekly on The Six Sacred Stones

"Think of it as watching an Indiana Jones film on a moving roller coaster!" --Library Journal on The Five Greatest Warriors
