A legend of the ancient world decrees that every 4,500 years, a terrible solar event will wreak worldwide destruction . . . But whoever sets the Golden Capstone atop the Great Pyramid at Giza will avert disaster and gain the ultimate prize: a millennium of world dominance.

Now the Sun is turning once again and nation will battle nation to retrieve the missing Capston . . . But a group of small nations, led by super-soldier Jack West Jr., bands together to prevent any one country from attaining this frightening power.

Thus the greatest treasure hunt of all time begins -- an adrenaline fueled race on a global battlefield.

From the Colossus of Rhodes to the Hanging Gardens of Babylon to the Great Egyptian Pyramid itself, unlock the thrills of Seven Deadly Wonders.

Review of 'Seven Deadly Wonders' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Indiana Jones meets Jack Reacher meets Superman. Fast paced but I had trouble  feeling engaged with the characters since they - and especially Jack West Jr. - were so superhuman that there was never any real feeling of danger. 
I would have loved it when I saw  the original Indiana Jones movies, but it just feels silly now.
