 ꧁If you've read any of the other books in the series you'll know the score. Very fast action, quick plots and a story that moves at breakneck speed.꧂
 **************************************************
 When we last left Jack West Jr., he was plummeting into a fathomless abyss and his quest to save the world from impending Armageddon appeared doomed.
 But all hope is not lost.  After an astonishing escape, Jack regroups with his trusty team. Racing to rebuild the final pieces of the fabled “Machine,” they discover an ancient inscription containing a rhyme about five mysterious unnamed warriors—great historical figures whose knowledge will be vital to unlocking the secrets of the Machine and its long-lost “pillars.” But the ancients have hidden their secrets well, and with each pillar bestowing an incredible power upon its holder, their pursuit has attracted the attention of other forces from around the world—some who want to rule it and others who want to see it destroyed.  With enemies coming at him from every side and the countdown to doomsday rapidly approaching, Jack and his team had better move fast. Because they are about to find out what the end of the world looks like . . .
 **************************************************

This was a great ending to the story started in the Six Sacred Stones.  The fast paced action continued as everyone raced against time to stop the end of the world.  Mote villians to defeat and more places to visit across the globe kept the adventure going right up until the end.
