Temple / Matthew Reilly

William Race is a professor of ancient languages, hardly an adrenalin pumping job. Yet the government needs him. A super powerful weapon has been stolen, and the key to activating its terrifying power lies in an ancient Latin manuscript...

This story is non-stop action from start to finish. It takes the greatest elements of action films, and synthesises them, resulting in a book that is impossible to put down. You won't be intellectually stimulated by this book, but you'll be so engrossed, you won't really care.

Who would enjoy this?  Anyone who enjoys fast-paced action, amazing set pieces and awesomeness of the explosions variety.
