The “king of hardcore action” (Brad Thor, New York Times bestselling author) and New York Times and #1 international bestselling author weaves a breathless thriller starring Jack West, Jr. that’s “a clever mix of history, mythology, and geography” (Associated Press).
A shadow world behind the real world…
When Jack West, Jr. won the Great Games, he threw the four legendary kingdoms into turmoil.
A world with its own history, rules and prisons…
Now these dark forces are coming after Jack...in ruthless fashion.
That is reaching into our world—explosively…
With the end of all things rapidly approaching, Jack must find the Three Secret Cities, three incredible lost cities of legend.
It’s an impossible task by any reckoning, but Jack must do it while he is being hunted...by the greatest hunters in history.
With Matthew Reilly’s signature “wave after wave of nonstop action” (Booklist), The Three Secret Cities is an electrifying rollercoaster ride of a thriller.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Reilly doesn't stint on the crazy in his fifth thriller featuring Capt. Jack West Jr. (after 2017's The Four Legendary Kingdoms). West, representing Orlando, the King of Land, has just prevailed in the Great Games held in the Underworld, becoming only the fourth such champion, joining Osiris, Gilgamesh, and Hercules. But West did not get the prize for which he contended, "the Mysteries that would see the Earth safely through the coming crisis," because an assassination attempt on Lord Hades and a revolt by a Minotaur army disrupted the proceedings. West is then targeted for death by the Knights of the Golden Eight, who have also been charged with capturing his daughter, Lily, and her friend Alby Calvin, setting up a wild ride as the trio try to remain safe. Reilly doesn't make it easy to take his conceit of hidden realities and the manipulation of human history by powerful supernatural beings seriously. West's allies have names like Sky Monster, Stretch, and Pooh Bear, and Hades intervenes with New York City planners to make sure that a new luxury high-rise doesn't impede the view from his own apartment. This one's strictly for series fans.)
