Matthew Reilly’s The Tournament will hit book stores November 12, 2013 and returns with yet another thrilling tale in the series. This follows the success of his previous novels—Ice Station, Temple, Contest, Area 7, Scarecrow, Hover Car Racer , Seven Ancient Wonders, The Six Sacred Stones and The Five Greatest Warriors— which have so far sold approximately 4 million copies worldwide. Below is an excerpt from the the official synopsis (as seen here) of the acclaimed author’s latest work of fiction:
~From the looks of it, The Tournament by Matthew Reilly is going to be packed with everything that we've come to expect from a Matthew Reilly novel: mystery, intrigue, adventure, a number of highly thought out twists and turns, and a truckload of action, which in Reilly’s own words would be “too big for Hollywood”. Much blood will be shed throughout the pages, as the narrative deals with a frenetic game of chess which reaches beyond the board, using humans as the real pawns of the game. More than that, it is a story of the ascension of an ordinary woman ascended towards royalty.
The Tournament will be available online from Bookworld, and other major book retailers on November 12. Find out more about this author at Matthewreilly.com or Goodreads.

Hailing from Australia, Matthew Riley is the talented best-selling author of ten novels. A number of these novels have been optioned by film studios for feature films or series production. He released Contest back in 1996 when he was only 19; which was his first published book.
After struggling to get a publishing deal and self-publishing Contest, Pan Macmillan took Reilly under their wing after realising the talent he obtained with putting words on paper. With a publisher backing him, he released his first industry-produced novel, Ice Station, which became Reilly’s very first taste of monumental success. As mentioned, he then went on to publish a number of action-packed novels; and Reilly’s latest is sure to pack the same literary punch that all his former novels.
