Publisher's Summary

The thrilling new Jack West adventure from the best-selling author of The Great Zoo of China and The Five Greatest Warriors.

A Ruthless Kidnapping

Jack West Jr and his family are living happily on their remote farm when Jack is brutally kidnapped and awakes in an underground cell to find a masked attacker with a knife charging at him.

The Great Games

Jack, it seems, has been chosen - along with a dozen other elite soldiers - to compete in a series of deadly challenges designed to fulfil an ancient ritual. With the fate of the Earth at stake, he will have to traverse diabolical mazes, fight cruel assassins and face unimaginable horrors that will test him like he has never been tested before.

To Hell and Back

In the process he will discover the mysterious and powerful group of individuals behind it all: the four legendary kingdoms.

Critic Reviews

"Matthew Reilly novels should come with health warnings on the cover. [T]he non-stop life-threatening action from enemies using guns, missiles, poisons, machetes and martial arts against Reilly's heroes is not for the faint-hearted. It's a wild ride." (Vince Flynn, New York Times best-selling author)
"Nobody writes action like Matthew Reilly." ( Chicago Sun-Times)

Just what i've come to expect

Would you listen to The Four Legendary Kingdoms again? Why?

yes! Matt has a beautiful way of mixing well known myth and fantasy into a thrilling action packed rollercoaster that you notice new things in everytime you read it.

Who was your favorite character and why?

the lord of the underworld. such a well known character and a great dipiction of an otherwise stereotyped historical figure

What does Sean Mangan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

the narrator brings a previous history and continuation from the previous novels. with that in mind his voice work for characters, accents and such is bang on the money. he has a great voice for suspense and elequent delivery of the nature of the book and what the story deserves

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

when jack and hadies make their deal

Any additional comments?

keep writing matt. you're a brilliant writer. anyone with an interest in history, myth and fast paced action/ military ops should read this

Unique and perfect.

It may not win classical literature accolades but any Matthew Reilly books is one I can't put down. They're simple and ridiculous but that's why I love them. Their simplicity makes it all the easier to get emersed and lost in his books and this is no different.

I love Jack West

What did you like best about The Four Legendary Kingdoms? What did you like least?

What did I like about this trilogy ....everything. Three fantastic books following the escaped of Jack West and his fantastic team.Please ,please Matthew more ,more ,more

What other book might you compare The Four Legendary Kingdoms to, and why?

All the 3 books

What about Sean Mangan’s performance did you like?

He's the only person for the job.

Could you see The Four Legendary Kingdoms being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?

I wish... Once upon a time I would have thought Jack Thompson, Bryan Brown Bruce Willis or Harrison Ford.Maybe Jamie Fox accept Jack is a white Aussie. So Hugh Hackman, Chris Hemsworth, Simon Baker, Richard Roxburgh to many good Aussie's to pick from

Any additional comments?

Waiting for new books Matthew been way to long mate

Trash

Oh boy, what a mess.

A poor mix of The Hunger Games, a little villain straight from James Bond, Mad Max, Indiana Jones, unexplained plot, stupid dialogue, screenplay style and endless repetition.

Awful.
