''The Five Greatest Warriors'' is the third thriller novel in the Jack West Jr. series, by the Australian writer Matthew Reilly. The book is the third in an Indiana Jones-style〔(''Goodbook.com'' reviews )〕 action series. The preceding book was ''The Six Sacred Stones'' which ended in a cliffhanger with archaeologist and ex-soldier Jack West Jr. and his team searching for the last four "Vertices of the Machine". The series is published by Pan Macmillan and this book was first released on 20 October 2009 in Australia. ==Situation at the end of ''The Six Sacred Stones''== ''The Six Sacred Stones'' began the story of Jack West Jr's quest to rebuild the mythical 'Machine' before there is an uninterrupted line between Earth and a zero-point field (The 'Dark Star'), which will wipe out all life on Earth. In order to complete the Machine, West had to locate six oblong diamonds known as 'the pillars', and place them in six underground Vertices at their allotted times. Two pillars had to be placed in December 2007, the remaining four in March 2008, immediately before the arrival of the 'Dark Sun'. However, due to the knowledge of the Machine having been lost over the millennia, West first had to locate the Six Sacred Stones, which give him the information about the Machine he needs. By the end of the book, two pillars had been placed, and the various sacred stones had passed between many groups. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Five Greatest Warriors」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
