Description: For a mysterious ceremony in an unknown location has triggered a catastrophic countdown that will climax in the destruction of all life on Earth. But there is one last hope. If Jack's team can find and rebuild a legendary ancient device known only as the "Machine", they might be able to ward off this coming Armageddon.
Synopsis: For Jack West and his team, unlocking the secrets of the 'Seven Ancient Wonders' has proved only the beginning. The world is still in mortal danger. The challenge now is to set six legendary diamonds known as the 'Pillars' in their appointed places before the deadline when global destruction is predicted. But first Jack and his team must locate the exact positions of placement all around the world, at sites known as 'the Six Sacred Stones'. What follows is a terrifying chase on a mountaintop railway in remotest China ... A midnight expedition to unlock the prehistoric secrets of Stonehenge ... Belly-crawling through subterranean tunnels infested with giant Nile crocodiles ...Surviving the gruesome rituals of a cannibal tribe in forgotten jungle valleys of the Congo ... A race-against-time submarine journey to an abandoned city hidden under the Cape of Good Hope ... With only the riddles of ancient philosophers to guide them, they must find their way through complex networks of traps and labyrinths and ambushes and all the while warding off hostile interference from some very powerful and determined enemies.

Home
By: JULIE ANDREWS
Julie Andrews has never before revealed the true story of her childhood and upbringing. In HOME she vividly recreates the years before the movies. The family moved to London, and there are vivid scenes of life during the Blitz. Her stepfather encouraged her to have singing lessons. By the time she was a teenager, she was supporting her whole family with her singing. A London Palladium pantomime led to a leading role in THE BOYFRIEND on Broadway at 19. Parts in MY FAIR LADY opposite Rex Harrison and CAMELOT with Richard Burton soon followed. HOME is an honest, touching and revealing memoir of the early life of a true icon.
