The Six Sacred Stones

A Novel

By: Matthew Reilly

Narrated by: Graeme Malcolm

THE END OF THE WORLD IS HERE

Unlocking the secret of the Seven Ancient Wonders was only the beginning...

After their thrilling exploits in Matthew Reilly's rampaging New York Times bestseller, 7 Deadly Wonders, supersoldier Jack West Jr. and his loyal team of adventurers are back, and now they face an all-but-impossible challenge.

A mysterious ceremony in an unknown location has unraveled their work and triggered a catastrophic countdown that will climax in no less than the end of all life on Earth.

But there is one last hope.

If Jack and his team can find and rebuild a legendary ancient device known only as the "Machine," they might be able to ward off the coming armageddon. The only clues to locating this Machine, however, are held within the fabled Six Sacred Stones, long lost in the fog of history.

And so the hunt begins for the Six Sacred Stones and the all-important knowledge they possess, but in the course of this wild adventure Jack and his team will discover that they are not the only ones seeking the Stones and that there might just be other players out there who don't want to see the world saved at all.

From Stonehenge in England to the deserts of Egypt to the spectacular Three Gorges region of China, The 6 Sacred Stones will take you on a nonstop roller-coaster ride through ancient history, modern military hardware, and some of the fastest and most mind-blowing action you will ever read.

Critic reviews

"Nobody writes action like Matthew Reilly."

Gunslinger ending

I was upset to find out we will only learn of the 2 sacred stones....very disappointing to hear this is only a third of the book. Also don't know why it was abbridged...it was short as is.

Too Unbelievable!

I tried to get into the book after reading its former work The 7 Ancient Wonders, but this was a little unbelievable for me. I know it is fictional, but the characters seemed too much like super beings instead of regular human beings in an extraordinary experience. Now I am reading the 5 Greatest Warriors. Hopefully this is a litlle more credible.

Good read

Can't wait for the next, continuing on this one, book..hope it's just as good to!

Cut off!

The story is amazing. The voices are a bit much though- uses like a Russian accent for Arabs lol. none of that is terrible though. it's fun that he does it. the HUGE problem I have is the first and part of second of every like 10 sentences is straight cut off. almost like it was edited for time and they didn't care that they left out the beginning of sentences. I'm about half thru chapter 2 and it's so very annoying that it's edited like this I will be requesting a refund and buying the book paper copy since I have read it before and don't like that it's ruined in this manner. Matthew Reilly is amazing though. Graham is a good reader but maybe a little too much emphasis. his voice for the little girl sounds deeper than the main character Jack 😂 all in all very good book but stop cutting corners on time and making it shorter by cutting off the readers first few words.

Needs a label

Even though I love this series, this version only gets 3 stars as it is an abridged version. It is not labeled that it is abridged either. I have read the book and as I was listening to it I realised parts were cut out. The unabridged version is much better.
