Still reeling from his loss, Jack must now get to one of the five iron mountains - two of which have never been found - and perform a mysterious feat known only as 'The Fall'.
Amid all this, Jack will discover that a new player has entered the race, a general so feared by the four legendary kingdoms they had him locked away in their deepest dungeon.
Only now this general has escaped and he has a horrifying plan of his own...
This is the second last book before the "Jack West" series end. I cant believe on how long the story goes; back to my teen years. Jack West is such a badass and fantastically smart. However, poor him, a lot of obstacle happen and we can notice that how he struggle despite his age. Cant wait to read the final book!
The penultimate book in the Jack West Jr. series, and this has all the ingredients for which I love this series. Not for the language or complex plot, but for breakneck speed, impossible odds and larger-than-life action. There is no one like Matthew Reilly who can weave ancient myths into a action-packed storyline while moving it ahead at a pace that is faster than a bullet train with lots of cool military gadgets. The action sequences are so over-the-top that it is ridiculous, but that's preciously the point.
This is hugely entertaining and enjoyable romp across Europe and Africa and is nicely leading into "One Something Something". I hope Jack West Jr. will go out with a Big Bang!
