Iris Johansen

"Seven Deadly Wonders" by Matthew Reilly is a wild ride, grabbing an action escapade designed to get your adrenaline. The clever plot used relics and legends in that the "Da Vinci Code", but he provokes disbelief every time you turn a page. This is an adventure story, which is probably better work on the canvas or as a video game would. Think "Mummy" meets "Indiana Jones". Reilly's larger than life quest is very visual, in Indeed, there are many pictures and graphics in the book, although they are not really necessary.

Each year 4500 a solar event occurs - the Tartarus Rotation - That the temperature increase on Earth and cause massive destruction. A golden Capstone was built to neutralize the power, the sunspots. Two thousand Years ago, Alexander the Great and Ptolemy of Egypt, Pharaoh broke the Capstone into seven pieces and hid them in the seven wonders of the ancient world. According to legend, whoever finds and They replaced during the "Tartarus Rotation" will the power for the next thousand years to win. The rotation will be done by 20th March 2006 and the race will find the seven pieces.

There also an Oracle, a child, the only one who can read the lost language is, that shows locations of the pieces the Capstone. Lily is raised in secret by a group that wants to keep the power of the hands of the Americans and Europeans. The leader of this group is our hero, Australia, Jack West Jr., who believes that power is too great to belong to a nation. But somehow he is thwarted at every turn. Someone is leaking its sites.

Reilly's writing has been developed to convey action, with lots of exclamation points, short paragraphs and sentences. If you readers who are well-crafted prose, you will does not want him here. You will not find fully concretized of signs, pick up the background for the action. And some readers may be replaced by the anti-American feeling offended. The good guys are Australian.

With an imaginative but unlikely plot, you must suspend belief. But despite its shortcomings The book offers an entertaining escape. If you read it for pure escapism and not take too seriously, a few hours make far-fetched change.
