The Champion by Taran MatharuMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Taran Matharu brings his second trilogy to a terrifying, bloodydamn fast-paced, unpredictable, thrilling close in The Champion, in which I'd have a very hard time believing that Matharu didn't read at least one of Matthew Reilly's Jack West Jr novels for inspiration for this one. HIstorical figures from all over the world, and their long-lost, long-storied tombs, play the most important part of all in Cade and company's quest to defeat the sinister Abbadon once and for all, even as this strange parallel world also fills with lost nukes from all across the 20th century and beyond. Weapons some see fit to use no matter the consequences. But Matharu, as always, doesn't let up for even a page, to the point where the only time you get to breathe again is when the acknowledgments come and you can finally bid the series ave atque vale...unless Matharu decides to go the route of the Summoner series with a prequel novel in the next year or so? Who bloody knows.
