Format:Mass Market Paperback
Got a bit over excited when I first spotted this thinking it was a sequel. Don't be disappointed and get the same book twice. Although saying that Seven Ancient or Seven Deadly is a must read, highly over the top action is a work of fiction and I can imagine some pompous people who think they know everything not enjoying it as they are too busy trying to prove the author wrong throughout the whole book. My advice to them is leave the fiction section alone and stick to reading your text books. This is a book that is pure escapism and a real page turner which I found impossible to put down and read from cover to cover in a day. I then did something I haven;t done in a while which was jump on the internet to email the author with my thanks for such a great read and to beg for a sequel. Loved the characters,loved the story and loved the ideas. My poor boyfriend is unable to read this though because every couple of chapters I couldn't help filling him in on what was happening in my book. Enjoy a good read then get it, if you want factual stay away. I loved it.

Yes, Seven Ancient Wonders is the same as this newly titled book. This is down to the publishers not Mr Reilly. To those who have moaned about this book.... get a life for goodness sake!!!! My first Reilly book was 'Seven Ancient Wonders' and I am totally hooked. Think James Bond but working as team and without the superior attitude or the annoying sex and sexual overtones. This book if absolute fantasy and it should be read with that in mind. If you don't want to read fiction then don't read this book but don't criticise it either! I loved it and have now read its sequal Six Sacred Stones... please set that word processor on fire Mr Reilly because I'm on the edge of my seat :-)

Not up to par... by a long way.
Having read and thoroughly enjoyed Matthew Reilly's Scarecrow series as well as Temple & Contest I was looking forward to this book and it's sequels. Read more

Action Action Action
I've read most of Mathew Reilly's books now and will admit to having enjoyed every one of them. They are a rollicking good read, fast paced and exciting in style, maybe a bit James... Read more

Calm down
I think you need to calm down, there is probably a good reason why its name got changed and there is a sequel to the book, called the six sacred stones!!

Don't blame the author for the name change
Don't blame the author for the name change, it is likely to be the publishers
playing marketing games, and don't take the content of the Matthew Reilly books too seriously. Read more

Stop complaining - it's a great book
This book is yet again a fantastic read from M.R. containing his usual mix of killer animals, hi-tech weaponry and, at the same second, super-fast pacing! Read more

How annoying ?

Terrible
Name change or not, this is still a terrible novel. The author can produce some good stuff (Ice Station was a complete blast) but this is so poor it is embarrassing. Read more

Matt Reilly - A refund if you please
How can someone like Riley get away with ripping people off by renaming the title to another identical book! It's a joke.
