Seven Ancient Wonders - Jack West Jr. #1 (Matthew Reilly)

Seven Ancient Wonders (Jack West Jr. #1)

Matthew Reilly

Blurb: It's the biggest treasure hunt in history.

Nearly every nation on earth is involved. A headlong race to locate the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.

The Capstone.

A magnificent golden capstone once sat atop the Great Pyramid at Giza. It was a source of immense power, capable of bestowing upon its holder absolute global rule for a thousand years...

But then in 323BC, the capstone was broken into seven pieces and hidden within the greatest structures of the age: monuments that would become known as 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.

An epic quest.

Everyone wants it. From the most powerful countries on earth, to gangs of murderous terrorists...and one daring coalition of eight small nations who think no single country should possess such an awesome power source.

And so, led by the mysterious Captain Jack West Jr, this determined group enters the fray, a global battlefield filled with viciously booby-trapped mines, stupendous Ancient Wonders, merciless evil forces, and an adventures beyond imagining.

Prospect Park West (Amy Sohn)

Prospect Park West

Amy Sohn

Blurb: Brooklyn's famed Park Slope neighbourhood has it all: majestic Prospect Park, acclaimed public schools, historic brownstones, and progressive values. Among bohemian bourgeois breeders, claiming a stake in Park Slope is a competitive sport.

In Amy Sohn's smart, sexy, satirical peek into the bedrooms and hearts of Prospect Park West, the lives of four women come together during one long, hot Brooklyn summer. Frustrated Oscar-winning actress Melora Leigh, eager to relieve the pressures of raising her adopted toddler, feels the seductive pull of kleptomania; Rebecca Rose, missing her formerly robust sex life, begins a dangerous flirtation with a handsome neighbourhood celebrity; Lizzie O'Donnell, a former lesbian (or 'hasbian'), wonders what draws her to women despite her sexy husband and adorable baby; and Karen Bryan Shapiro consumes herself with a powerful obsession - snagging the ultimate three-bedroom apartment in a well-maintained, P.S. 321-zoned co-op building. As the women's paths intertwine (and sometimes collide), each must struggle to keep her man, her sanity...and her playdates.
