Heartwarming Moments from Matthew Reilly.
Seven Ancient Wonders
- Stretch saves Lily from drowning in quicksand, despite being placed amongst Jack's team to betray them. Instead, he decides to follow him instead.
- Both times Lily calls West "Daddy" and his reactions to it, which show just how much he loves her.
- At the end of the book, the group splits up, and Pooh Bear heads to Israel to rescue Stretch, alone. Against the entirety of the Mossad.
- Mother's speech to Schofield that prevents him from committing suicide after Gant's death.
- West's discovery of the tomb of Jesus Christ. He refuses to look at the man's face, considering himself unworthy.
The Four Legendary Kingdoms
- Jack saves a trapped minotaur from certain death, something that literally has never happened in the history of the games.
- After being forced to kill Scarecrow in a fight to the death that Scarecrow agreed to throw, Jack rushes to save his life after the climax. It works.
- Rather than kill Hades for running the Games and costing dozens of people their lives, Jack offers his hand in friendship and gains a valuable and powerful ally for the upcoming trials.
