Summary
Thousands of years ago, a magnificent golden capstone sat atop the Great Pyramid of Giza. It was a source of immense power, capable of bestowing upon its holder absolute global rule for a thousand years.... But then, in 323 BC, the capstone was broken into seven pieces and spread to the corners of the Earth, hidden within the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World. Now, with the coming of a rare solar event, the time has come to locate the pieces and rebuild the capstone.
Critic reviews
"A nonstop roller-coaster ride that lurches around the globe." (Publishers Weekly)
"A novel that grabs readers by the hand and pulls them along until they're out of breath. It is impossible (even for hard-core cynics) not to love this big, boisterous, action-filled adventure." (Booklist)

Entertaining Preposterous Stuff
What can I say?
I may not be the target audience for this.
It runs like a computer game inspired by Indiana Jones and Dan Brown.
The pace is relentless as the team races around the world rescuing treasure in a period of 7 days.
The history is interesting, although questionable, but I do feel inspired to go away and read up on it.
It kept me entertained in the same way a film like National Treasure does. It's undemanding but fun.
I doubt I'll bother with the rest of the series but who knows, I might need a bit of Boys Own rip-roaring escapism on a winter's day one day.

Great.
This book is a great start to what is going to be an amazing series and i'm so glad that I have the next 3 lined up to listen to. This is a pure adrenaline fuelled action packed ride. If you are a fan of chris kuzneski then you are going to so enjoy matthew reilly. This was a very good narration. I'm of to start listening to the next in the series.

Awesome Adventure
Loved it and heard it over 3 days, couldn't pull myself away from it. I read "The 6 sacred stones" that was given as a gift, finished it and thought "it can't end like this!" then looked Matthew Reillys' list of books and realised this is a set of 7. Ordered all the paperbacks so I can read all the series. Awesome

Mindless fun
Being interesred in the ancient world I approached this with some trepidation. It's a fun ride, more like a video game as it jumps from action sequence to action sequence, best enjoyed without thinking much about it. The shoehorning of historical "details" into the dialogue was borderline laughable at points but the biggest issue is the narrator, who reads fairly monotonously and without distinguishing between characters.

Boring not really what I thought it would be
Really not that great. With childish call signs Pooh bear and wizard to a real uninspired plot of a capston and tartar..
Won't be buying book 2

Terrible narrator, preposterous story
Needs a lot of editing and fact-checking. The narrator spoke every character as the same with almost no variation in tone.
There's a lot of red sprays of blood and brain splattering too.
