The Sunday Times Big Book Club is pleased to announce the selection for October 2008: The Six Sacred Stones by Matthew Reilly.

The end of the world is here …
Unlocking the secret of the Seven Ancient Wonders was only the beginning … for Jack West Jr and his loyal team of heroes, the challenge now is to set six legendary diamonds known as ‘the Pillars’ in place at six ancient sites around the world before the deadline for global destruction arrives. With only the riddles of ancient writers to guide them and time rapidly running out, Jack and his team must fight their way past traps, labyrinths and a host of deadly enemies – knowing that this time they cannot fail.

Matthew Reilly is now the international bestselling author of seven novels: Ice Station, Temple, Contest, Area 7, Scarecrow, Seven Ancient Wonders, the children's book Hover Car Racer, and one novella, Hell Island. His books are published in over 20 languages, and he has sold more than 3 million books worldwide.
