Five Greatest Warriors update

I noticed that many recent visitors to the site have arrived while searching for information regarding the sequel to Matthew Reilly's Six Sacred Stones. Here's what information I could gather:

The Five Greatest Warriors is scheduled for and October 20, 2009 Australia release, and a US release on January 5, 2010. Not sure what that means for the UK and other European markets. It's available for pre-order on Amazon.com.


Here's some info on the book from Reilly's website:

MATTHEW REILLY IS BACK!
AND THE COLOSSAL ADVENTURE CONTINUES...

It began with WONDERS...

It grew beyond measure with some SACRED STONES...

Now, come the WARRIORS...

Strap yourself in and hold on tight as Matthew Reilly’s epic adventure series reaches dizzying new heights with THE FIVE GREATEST WARRIORS...

THE FIVE WARRIORS

Having left readers desperately hanging at the end of his action-packed adventure, THE SIX SACRED STONES, Matthew Reilly returns with his biggest and fastest adventure yet, THE FIVE GREATEST WARRIORS.

The action begins right where THE SIX SACRED STONES left off...with our hero, Jack West Jr, falling into a fathomless abyss and his astonishing escape from certain death.

Now, with the end of the world fast approaching, Jack must rebuild the final pieces of the fabled “Machine”. But he is out of clues, out of leads...until he is presented with an ancient text about five unnamed warriors, great historical figures who were all in some way connected to the mysterious Machine...

A NEW QUEST

And so Jack and his loyal team set out to discover the identities – and the secrets – of THE FIVE GREATEST WARRIORS.

It is a singularly impressive list: from Moses to Genghis Khan and Napoleon, and to one most unlikely warrior. And who is the unknown “Fifth Warrior” who it is said will be there “at the end of all things”?

In SEVEN ANCIENT WONDERS, Matthew Reilly explored the mysteries of the Great Pyramid.

In THE SIX SACRED STONES, the astonishing link between Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid was examined.

In THE FIVE GREATEST WARRIORS:

* the explosive secrets of history’s greatest commanders will be revealed;
* our heroes will stage an extraordinary mission into the lair of a powerful villain to rescue their friend, Stretch;
* Jack West will race tsunamis (!!);
* the Earth will come face-to-face with the apocalypse;
* and not for a single moment does the action let up.


In it the story begun in SEVEN ANCIENT WONDERS and THE SIX SACRED STONES will reach its literally Earth-shaking climax at one of the most mysterious places on our planet.

From the deserts of Israel to the storm-lashed coasts of Japan, to the wastes of Mongolia and to the most mysterious island on Earth — this is what we have come to expect from Matthew Reilly: stupendous action, white-knuckle suspense, heroes to cheer for, and an adventure beyond imagining.

This is...THE FIVE GREATEST WARRIORS.
