ABC Acquires Series Project Adapted from Adventure Thrillers by Matthew Reilly

ABC has acquired a potential television series project based on the Jack West Jr. international adventure series by Australian novelist Matthew Reilly. The first of the three books in the series written to date, Seven Deadly Wonders, was published in 2005. (Presumably seven books are intended, as the second title is The Six Sacred Stones and the third title is The Five Greatest Warriors.)

West — a former military officer, now an archeologist — and his team are on a quest to locate the seven wonders of the ancient world. Indeed, nearly every nation on earth is involved. Inside each is a piece of a capstone that once sat atop the Great Pyramid at Giza. Now, with the coming of a rare solar evens, the time has come to locate the pieces and rebuild the capstone.
