A legend of the ancient world decrees that every 4,500 years, a terrible solar event will wreak worldwide destruction . . . but whoever sets the Golden Capstone atop the Great Pyramid at Giza will avert disaster and gain the ultimate prize: a millennium of world dominance.
Now the Sun is turning once again and nation will battle nation to retrieve the missing Capstone . . . but a group of small nations, led by super-soldier Jack West Jr., bands together to prevent any one country from attaining this frightening power. Thus the greatest treasure hunt of all time begins -- an adrenalinefueled race on a global battlefield.
From the Colossus of Rhodes to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the Great Egyptian Pyramid itself, unlock the thrills of
SEVEN DEADLY WONDERS
"Matthew Reilly is known for adventure with a capital A. In this latest book Reilly pulls out all stakes -- and beats you over the head with them. A relentless, dizzying romp around the Seven Wonders of the World. Don't forget to pack your parachute!"
"An absolute bone crusher of a thriller! Matthew Reilly is the king of hardcore action. 7 Deadly Wonders had me turning the pages so fast I had blisters on my fingers, and my heart pounded so hard it sounded like a helicopter was landing on my roof! For stay-up-late, can't-put-down-ability, Reilly is the master. If you buy only one action-adventure novel this year, make it 7 Deadly Wonders."
