Awesome Moments from Matthew Reilly's Temple

  • Professor Race disarming a doomsday device while freefalling in a tank!
  • Doogie killing a helicopter with an enemy-piloted Rigid Raider by turning a seaplane so sharply that the wings form a ramp. He was out of bullets.
  • One of the giant rapa cats gets into a fight with two twenty-five foot crocodiles and wins in less than a page.
  • The boat chase, including when Van Lewen inadvertently jumps onto a Nazi speedboat. As they aim their guns at him, Schroeder sees this from a nearby boat, recognizes that the Nazis guns are the only electronic guns in the world, and then triggers an EMP device to disarm the guns. This allows Van Lewen to blow the Nazis away before they can readjust.
  • Race thinking fast enough to escape an explosion by hiding in the containers used to transport the Supernova. And this was well before Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out.
  • Renco ziplining through a hail of bullets onto a horse, firing back the whole time.
  • Doogie providing covering fire for Race to get to the citadel, against Nazis and rapas alike.
