  • 1 Alexander the Great

    2 Jesus

    3 Genghis Khan

    4 Napoleon Bonaparte

  • hmm i love the music, what song is it??

  • This was an awesome novel

    

  • epic book!

  • It ends here? Matthew Reilly says there may be more of Huntsman soon.

  • you guys need to read RICHARD MORGAN - BlackMan . one of the best books ever.... it's brilliant.... and extremely violent. explores what it is to be human and JACK WEST Jr. LOLLLLLLLL

  • I dont mind that the english have been the bad guys before thats cool Ice station we got our asses served to us however can we please just have one good englishh person in the next book we are not all devious masterminds or psycho thugs lol

  • Does anyone have any idea what the next novel after Five Greatest Warriors is, I hope its another Scarecrow novel, or an Australian SASR team would be nice!

  • @MaCcAM40a3 Well with the way humanity is going nowadays, I'd say we would have to worry more about killing ourselves off first, before the next time the zero point field comes again.

  • @MaCcAM40a3 He announced on his site that it is in fact pretty much the fifth one counting Hell Island. As an added plus sometime late this year or early next we will see the novella in bookstores in America.

  • @MaCcAM40a3 recently anounced on his website thats its a new scarecrow novel set for release late this year.

  • love his books

  • ok ok SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!

    Can anyone tell me why Jack West Jr pushes the 6th pillar into the centre of the earth? That means that the next time this Dark Sun thingo comes around everyone is totally screwed. Good job! :)

  • @MrSatellite41

    the ceremony was performed successfully, liy extracts the pillar and temporarily gets if reward, power, because the 6th piller was just to great for mankind, in a way wat saved the planet couldve doomed it again

    oh the next time, woops

    well its doesnt matter anyway, the vertexs took a small peice of the pillar out when the placed them anyway, so it would only work once

  • @MrSatellite41 man i wish i hadnt read ur comment, but thanks for putting the spoiler alert :P

  • @MrSatellite41 but thats not for another hundreds of years, Jack will be fine, fuck civilisation :D

  • @MrSatellite41: actually he didn't push it into the centre of the earth. he pushed it down towards the end of the catwalk. and his father (the greedy person that he is) went for it. and then grabbed it, before being taken down to the centre of the earth by the Halli.

    so technically Jack Junior did nothing wrong at all!

    oh and also all of the pyramids are complete anyway, they all have their piece of their pillar inside them - therefore the machine will work forever.

  • @Athiair .....Good point.

  • @MrSatellite41 Because it was a power to much for man kind. Look at what it did to lili

  • @MrSatellite41 He won't be around so he doesn't care... selfish bastard, scarecrow needs to find him and shoot him

  • @MrSatellite41 .....yeah that's what I thought too....and the vandalism to all those vertex sites will be a bitch to navigate around for the next time the Earth needs saving...

  • @MrSatellite41 The 6th pillar was "Power" and Jack thought it was too dangerous for anyone to possess, and i don't think the Dark Sun is coming again, the "machine" was built when it destroyed one of the ten original planets in the solar system because they somehow predicted it would come for earth on it's next run, so no it won't come back

  • and i havent got it yet, waiting for the signing in 2 weeks... but the cliffhanger? reilly said he had inserted a method oof survival into the book. in the last few pages he mentions that switchblade is dressed in full marine recon battle dress. which means somewhere about his person should be,,,, anybody...?

  • Mag hook. It was pretty predictable.

  • @BoogerCheeze

    the moment he took the maghook i felt so stupid for not realising it earlier, especially since im a hge scarecrow fan

  • @harsesis42 em i wonder. since its his most favourite tool in most of his books. haha

  • connections? cant remember for sure, lent the book out but isnt the marine captain at the end of ice station jack west snr?

  • sergiotheswank go out ant get urself 'the mark' its an unoffical rip off of scarecrow, 'the mark 2' is a rip off of temple...

  • nice trailer...lol might be very useful for my hwk

  • Omgomgomg, i can't wait to get the book for Christmas!

  • Wouldn't all his books make fantastic videogames? I think so.

  • yer excpecially hover car racer

  • @PS2SUPERSTAR23 i'm more thinking in the vain of uncharted. hover car racer would just be a racing game with heaps of cut scenes. unless you do it as an open world game as well hmm....

  • @sergiotheswank I'd actually like to play Hover Car Racer. That would be a fun fast game. I'm not a big racing nor sports fan, but if it were based on that book, I'm totally in.

  • Some game studio ripped off Scarecrow and made a game based on it. MR said on his web site he was in the process of suing them

  • 'The Mark' Post from 1 of the developers about the upcoming Mark 2... 'A team of US Marines must protect a young archeologist on a mission 2 a pre aztec temple to find an artefact that will shift the balance of power in the world.....' Ok, The Matt Reilly book Temple... A team of US Marines must protect a young linquistics professor on a mission to a pre aztec temple to find an artefact that will shift the balance of power in the world... I cant believe he's letting them get away with this shit!

  • @sergiotheswank I reckon they would make awesome movies

    that austrailian actor from avatar? i think perfect JWJ what about the other actors tho?

    i though of Omid Dhialii(or however you spell it) for Pooh bear but thats it so far :P

  • i always imagined sam worthington as jack :P

  • @ElleKatey1 Yes yes yes yes a million times yes yes yes. I never thought of this but now it seem like the only possible person who could pull it off would be S.W.

    You just made my night. =]

  • @ElleKatey1 ....Someone a bit older with a tinge of grey. Hugh Jackman perhaps...?

  • @MaTTiiE48 i always think of omid man may have to work out a bit though first lol

  • I love these books! It was killing me waiting for The Five Greatest Warriors to come out, especially with the Six Sacred Stones ending on such a cliff hanger! Awesome writing, he really knows how to suck you in! Can't wait to see what he writes next!

  • LOVE the books... finished this one within 24 hours... It draws you in!!!

  • this book was soo good haha i finished within the first two days :) anyways im just thinking i cannot wait until Jack West Jr and Scarecrow team up! its going to be the most epic book ever!! Its fairly obvious that they will as well seeing as how Astro is in both series, proving that they are connected. Just hope he does it soon you know? dont wanna wait for feckin ever just so the two of the coolest characters ever created can team up. :)

  • There are other connections too. Maghook anyone?

  • yeah true. Will admit didn't pick up on the maghook thing until recently haha i hadnt realised that it was a fictional tool invented by Matt Reilly :s. But yeah that connects the two series as well - nice one mate ;)

  • I know who the first four are. Is the fifth one ......Michael Jackson or Pee Wee Herman?......Just kidding! Matthew Reilly is the best tour-de-force,rollercoaster , no-holds barred action writer around.When you begin reading one of his novels it's like going skydiving without a parachute.Nice one Matthew.

  • Think this add could copy anything else off LOTR?

  • @zosozeppelin09

    they used a female voice over, amazing, did LOTR invent the female voice over artist?

  • The complete presentation so closely mimics LOTR, all you need to do is change the names and i guarantee you could fool anyone, watch them both again and you'll see what i mean.

  • lolz.

    fucking sweet books.

    But it started with seven ancient wonders.

    lol.

  • The next book is called The Four Divine Worlds about some insane guy....

  • @hughsyz what? how do u know?

  • possibly the greatest book ever!!!

  • I would love to see a book about Knight, but I'd also love to read about Buck 'Book' Riley Senior's mission to rescue Schofield after he got captured and his eyes cut. A prequel to Ice Station. That'd be awesome.

  • got my copy signed today, well worth the hour and a half wait

  • flyingdwarfzz...a book on Mother would be great...even better, if she hooked up on a side mission with pooh bear :-)

  • there have been hints at an aloysius knight book (see scarecrow interview) which looks good as it will probably be even faster than the scarecrow books (less rules for bounty hunters than marines)

  • can someone post the ebook? its long to wait...

  • i got this book today and can someone tell me if astro the marine from the six sacred stones is in it becasue so far i havent heard read anything about him

  • ive read it and the warriors are-moses,jesus,ghengis khan,napaleon and jack west jr

  • Great BOOK! All I can say is BUY IT!

  • finished it....totally worth the wait...

  • I just finished reading it too, it was worth waiting 2 years for it to be released. Reilly doesn't disappoint, does he? :D

  • Just finished reading it and I loved every moment. Jack West Jnr kicks ass.

    Now if he and Shane Schofield appeared in a book together... THAT would be the greatest novel of all time. Seriously, screw the literary community and all their visualist post modernist abstract perspectives. THIS is how books should be written.

    And the five were Moses, Jesus, Genghis Khan, Napoleon and... I'm not gonna ruin it. I'll let you find out for yourself.

  • i definitly see that three are Moses, Ghengis Khan and napoleon but i think the second one is jesus beacause of the "none shall know greater fame" and i think the last is Jakc because of "Decide whether man shall live or die"

  • sweeeet.....

  • the five are:

    Genghis Khan

    Jesus

    Moses

    Napoleon Bonaparte

    and the fifth is speculated to be Jack West Jnr.

  • It is.

    See how he is wearing a fireman's helmet :D

    I have also read the book.

  • i got ripped.

    went to get the book and it was not delivered.....

    have to go back tomorrow

  • It's Jack West Jr, Sun Tzu, Moses, Napoleon and Ghengis Khan

  • u dumbass its jesus not sun tzu

  • i get 2 go 2 his signing thing at the shangri la hotel 2morrow, YEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!

  • its today

  • I think the the five are

    Alexanader the great

    Jesus - is mentioned that none shall achieve greater fame then he

    Jack West Jnr - Firemans helmet in the picture?

    Genghis Khan

    Napoleon

  • Jesus no but Moses yes

  • You are correct.

  • AMG TOMORROW!!

    CANT WAIT!!! AMG!!!

    i still dont think that the 5th is Jack West Jr...

    Matthew reilly is known for his plot twists

    (Scarecrow anyone?)

  • Wrong.

  • i just read it, and IMO it was kinda sucky.

    the begining and the end had no matthew reilly Twist...

    i mean, srsly? the "MASSIVE CLIFFHANGER" at the end of 6SS was solved in two pages... sad.

  • Yeah the cliffhanger was abit lame. But the rest of the story, interlocking everything was very good IMO. And I thought it was jack Who had the vision come true (Wink wink nudge nudge)

  • I reckon that the 5 warriors are ________, Jesus, a famous chinese or japenese person that was a famous warlord, perhaps Napoleon Bonaparte, and the last Jack... probably will have to fight against his father... or watch his loved ones be killed or something like that... =) =)

  • Me and my Dad can't wait for this to come out! Go Matthew Reilly, my favourite author of all time! I'd say the 5th warrior is Jack West JR. 'cause he wears a fireman hat, and the 5th warrior had a hat on that could've been a firemans hat. Thanks Matthew Reilly snd PanMacmillanAus!

  • Screw TV and the movies, don't even bother with videogames. When October 20th hits this is the only form of entertainment that matters to me!!!

  • Greatest warlord of all time; I was thinking Genghis Khan?

  • I think that Sun Tzu is one of them from the description

  • Sun Tzu might be the 3rd one... I thought a chinese or japenese person.

  • Fith warrior is clearly jack west jr. ( firemans helmet) any guesses for the others? Napoleon for 4 i think

  • You're right about no.4 - it's been mentioned in Matthew Reilly's blog as well. 3 of the 5 that were mentioned: Moses, Genghis Khan & Napoleon Bonapartes.

  • How does jack west Jr. survive?

    My betting is either gullwings or a phyically impossibe and if it does occur frankly dissapointing fall all the way through the earth.

  • the "gullwings" require a breeze to use properly, but theres no breeze in a underground cavern.

  • I was thinking of the compressed gas thrusters

  • it would only have a few uses, and i dont think that they would work doing verticaly.

  • if you've read the scarecrow books you'll know the one marine tool mathew reilly is obsessed with.. and the japanese-american falling with jack west jr had it... a maghook

  • Maghook!!!! rawr!

  • gay

  • your dad is gay, im sorry to say.

  • I think that Scarecrow is one of the five warriors or that scarecrow will at least be in the novel. It seams like Reilly is tying the two series together with the inclusions of the maghook and Astro (Who was in Hell Island).

  • Oh shut up!!!!

  • awesome. how random having a trailer for a book.

  • one moar thing.

    In seven ancient wonders (deadly wonders to americans) Jack West Jr CLEARLY stares that The word MOSES means "Son of"

    Like bin, in bin Laden, or O' in O'reilly

    I cant find the line in the book, but i know its there

    So either he screwed up on his blog and said that one of the warriors was "Moses", who according to him, didnt exist and was most likely a priest of the Cult of Amun-Ra.

    Note: he might just be referencing the person who goes by the name of moses in the modern world

  • I MEAN NOT PUSHED TO CHRISTMAS

  • iTS jACK wESST jUNIOR FUCK YOU ALLL CAN CURSE ALL OF THE MOTHER FUCKERS

  • I think the next one is called

    "Four divine worlds"

    Not a bad title, by any reckoning. But sont take my word for it, as i saw it on Wikipedia.

  • nah the interview at the back says he hasnt come up with the next jack west jr.. he said if there was one it would be the 'four something somethings' so he will ocntuinue in backwards numerical order, but he doesnt have the name yet.. also he said he had some ideas for scarecrow and aloishish (wrong spelling, i know) Knight aswell

  • fair enough, i read the interview too.

    Personaly, im waiting for a Temple sequil...

    Mabie a "Contest" sequil too.

    Scarecrow continue would be cool, but im not over the moon about a book about Knight.

    HOWEVER, a book about Mother would be awesome.

    yeh... that would b cool.

    a book with a main caricter called "Motherfucker". written by matthew reilly.

    insta win.

  • Its The Four Divine Worlds

  • The other two warriors are Sun Tzu and Jack West Jr

  • Guys you are right I was wrong, its Gengis Khan

  • Lolwtfbbq2, your right. It says on Matthew Reilly's website that three are; Moses, Gengis Khan and Napolen.

  • The only ones which are in doubt are the bottom left and middle the others have already been confirmed on his blog at least look up the site before assuming who you think they are. the other 3 are definately with no doubt at all napoleon, gengis khan and moses

  • Wheres King Leonidas lol jk XD

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • in my opinion it is:

    Moses, Jesus, the third is either Hannibal, Attila the Hun or Genghis Khan, fourth is Napoleon and lat is Jack West nr.

  • Jack West is saved...he puts in the second pillar which gives him perpetual motion....

  • i hate you.

    thats is almost certainly it. he put the stone in the pyramid, and thus that might be it.

    But, how is he going to use the power? is he suddenly going to start flying like superman? is he going to stop falling? turn gravity upside down?

    what is it?

  • hi FlyingDwarfzz,

    The book says the second reward is perpetual motion...so it could mean anything but he definitely will not leave Alby alone. Trust Reilly to give us the best clifhanger...i m dying to get hold of the book.... But it will prove useful in the long run as they need to put the stones in the other corners of the earth.....

  • Comment removed

  • you fucking liar!!! you are making this shit up!!!! their aint no SUCH THING called FOUR DIVINE WORLDS on wikipedia, i looked me self!!! and the release date has been PUSHED TO CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! CURSE YOU FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >:(

  • I FUCKING HATE YOU SO MUCH

  • Go to wikipedia and type in "Matthew

    Reilly" into the search bar. Scroll down until you see the "References" section. Reference number 4 says "* 2011 The Four Divine Worlds (Sequel to The Five Greatest Warrior)"

    The link takes you to a requested article page.

    I typed up a 1000 Letter message to you, but i cant send it because of a friend lock.

    Bummer.

  • i will probably die in waiting i think...... 'course Alby wont die....n jack definitely will not die

  • i know everybody keeps going on about jack west Jr being the 5th warrior, but I'm not so sure. i personally don't think its going to be him. For some reason i keep thinking of Alby. Ah well I'm prob wrong. Hanging out for the book though!

  • actually if you look at the silhouette the fifth person is wearing a fireman's helmet so it's most likely jack west jr. thats what i think anyway (:

  • wearing the helmet doesnt mean its jack, lily's had it b4. i just feel that jack being the 5th is too obvious. but hey im not complaining if im wrong

  • nearly everyone on that team has the helmet, so we dunno.

    Personaly, i can help but think that the Canabal kid they "Rescued: from the Congo (forget his name) will have a massive part. Possible, i guess.

    theyre people were connected to the Stones more than anyone else, and he is the last survivor most likely after the raid on theyre village be jack west sr...

    The more i think, the more i reckon its possible.

  • 0:33

    Choice? knowing jack west Jr, the choice would be live, in a nanoseccond, no choice there.

    Unless...

    something makes him wants to not make that choice

  • apparently not jesus sun tzu who new

  • Comment removed

  • theres jack west jr, gengis kahn, napolian, moses and wat looks like jesus

  • ALLLLLLLLLLLL RIGHTY THEN!

    in order of appearance: Moses first, then Jesus then Ned Kelly. im BSing it just looked like his helmet. Its probably genghis khan. next napoleon, due to the poncy hat and obsession with victory, finally Jack West jr. in his firemans helmet. easy.

  • Comment removed

  • Your going to be surprised cos GENGHIS KHAN is not the one because of his appearance it doesnt look like him while that picture is 100% of sun tzu

  • Comment removed

  • If anyone is going to Dymocks Literacy Event and SMH at the Shangri-la Hotel in Sydney at 6:30 p.m. at Tuesday, October 20th im going to it so if anyone reads this comment and they are going to the same event as me please respond to this comment

  • To hughsyz:

    im goin to that event in sydney!!!!

  • where can i meet you

  • if you look up sun tzu images will come up of of him

  • i mean the third one is sun tzu

  • Comment removed

  • can't wait! I'm-a goin to the signing in Brissie :D

  • Theres one thing i dont get about this video.

    Theres the 5 warriors... the one in the middle seems like Jack West Jr.

    "The 5th shall face the greatest test, if all shall live or all shal die"

    it sounds like the plot of Seven Aincient Wonders to me...

    But jack didnt have the choice of that now, didnt he? Zaied Chose that...

    So like, what is it?

  • I dunno, maybe it'll be obvious only after finishing this book?

  • Sif actiualy reading the book. im gunna try to Finish the book WITHOUT READING IT! wewt

  • i sure as hell hope im not right, but i think i know how jack survives.

    Outside of the Cavern, is the ocean. its all underwater, right?

    due to global warming, the sea level may be higher, and the cavern may have once been full.

    THUS! the pit wich Jack is falling into MAY have water in it... allowing jack to survive the fall.

    THAT or he falls through the enite earth, and pops out the other side.

    ima continue above.

  • i recon i know how he survives.

  • this trailer makes me want to read it more!!!!

  • can't wait for this book!

  • It's is definately Napoleon cause he says it on his web site as well as saying Moses and gengis khan

  • Personally I think that the second one sounds more like Jesus then Alexander the great and it looks like jesus too.

  • nah its moses, thats his staff. and the fourth could be Laozi, since what she says sounds like one of his philosophies, the third, Ghengis Kahn, and the first could be moses with the tablets or alexander the great. but lol if it's Jesus.

  • top left is moses with the comandments, top right is gengis khan cause is is a warlord like is says, bottom right is napoleon cause of the hat and bottom left is Jesus/ Alexanders the great cause it says no-one will achieve greater fame then he and they are the most well known also i think it looks like jesus and middle is jack but it might not be, three of them are definate cause they are on matthew reillys site which is the best place to get info.

  • omgwtfbbq, yeh your right.

    but, it's definitely jack in the middle, with the firemen's hat and whole "decide to live or die". and everything else fits.

    also, do you know how he survives? cause i reckon i have an extremely solid idea. my firend and i sent an email to M.R and in his blog he's said that someone has figured it out, so i can only hope. it revolves around a second maghook that has'nt been mentioned but can definitely be there. Astro, during the egypt chase, gives a clue.

  • Mozaeous, im not sure how he will get out but i have a couple of ideas including one that i would be very disapointed with if it turned out to be true. I want to see what happens on easter island cause it has diagrams of it in the book and it also mentioned the nazca desert in peru which would be good to see. I also think that the fourth book will be the 4th something kings cause in the philosophers place there was a diagram on the wall of 4 kings being surrounded be 5 warriors

  • Comment removed

  • you reckon there will be a fourth?

    how do you think he'l get out? carbon fibre wings that he didnt take off for some reason? And i remember that picture of the 5 GW but i thought they were guarding Laozi or that other guy, Confuncious or something? maybe.

    but still, 2 YEARS AND NOW FINALLY THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER! can't wait.

  • My idea is more how he survives the fall rather then how he gets out, cause it does mention there is water all through the vertex so alot of it would have gone down the hole. and there is going be a fourth it was in matthews last blog. it will have something to do with istanbul, and it the book it says "There were other carvings, including one of four throned kings sitting shoulder to

    shoulder and flanked by five standing warriors, but Jack ignored them." which i think is important.

  • NO SHIT! i didn't notice that part of his blog!! and i remember that picture (pg 180?) and i just checked and your right! but thats another year or two of waiting!! oh well.... d'you think he'l make 7 books, all down to 1 something thing...?

    vatever, but yeh, gonna be sweeeeeeeet

  • Probably it will go to 1 but it does restrict it to 7 books, but only 13 days to go till it comes out so yay. I might try to get it signed cause i have a couple of other books signed and he is touring.

  • yeh same. he's coming to melbourne twice so maybe il be a hardcore fanboy and go both times.

  • Only once to Adelaide :( i feel sorry for the people in america and stuff.

  • yeah.....

    BUT STILL!!!!! 13 DAYS!!!!!

  • dont fell sorry for them, they have Tom Clancy

  • Gah... January before its out in the UK. I can't wait that long.
