Publisher Description

The newest action thriller from the author of the bestselling Ice Station and Area 7 marks the return of Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield in his fastest, most nail-biting challenge yet

It is the greatest bounty hunt in history. The targets are the finest warriors in the world—commandos, spies, terrorists. And they must all be dead by 12 noon, today. The price on their heads: almost $20 million each. Among the names, one stands out—an enigmatic Marine with the call-sign Scarecrow. Schofield is plunged into a race around the world, pursued by a fearsome collection of international bounty hunters. The race is on and the pace is frantic as he fights for survival, in the process unveiling a vast international conspiracy and the terrible reason why he cannot, under any circumstances, be allowed to live!

He led his men into hell in Ice Station. He protected the President against all odds in Area 7. But this time it's different, because he is the target. With all of his trademark action, Matthew Reilly continues to establish himself as one of the top thriller writers of today.

Quotes

  • “Scarecrow should come with a blood pressure cuff shrink-wrapped to it. Nonstop action, adventure, and a HUGE surprise for fans of Reilly’s other Schofield novels—what more could you ask for from a novel? You’ll give up television forever after reading Scarecrow.”

    - BookReporter.com

  • “James Bond and Dirk Pitt can step aside—a new action hero has arrived to take their place in Reilly’s latest roller-coaster ride. This thrill fest is highly recommended for all fiction collections—even the most jaded readers will need to fasten their seatbelts and hang on for dear life.”

    - Booklist

  • “The text is all fury, akin to taking a James Bond film, cutting out everything but the action and running that at double speed. As much video game as novel. Reilly’s admirers will love this one, and anyone interested in the outer limit of action writing should check it out.”

    - Publishers Weekly

  • Matt Reilly, the pedal-to-the-metal action novelist...can inspire awe. Speed demons, take note.

    - Publishers Weekly on Area 7

    " INTENSE! Non-stop action, surprises around every corner, on the edge of my seat until the last word! One TINY little thing bugged me, Reilly uses the phrase "For his part..." or "For her part..." way too often, but that just a minor irritation amidst a great book. "

    " Another riveting Matthew Reilly affair....although this one almost made me cry! Didn't think he was ballsy enough to kill off his hero's love interest, but he did. Violently. And then he almost had his hero commit suicide. Twice. Mind-blowing! "

    " I know that the Scarecrow books can be read as stand alone novels which is great, but if you read the first two(Icestation and Area 7) it is like a special reward as you read Scarecrow because you see previous characters pop up throughout the book and you can better understand their significance. "

    " I tried to read Scarecrow by Matthew Reilly, but I found the action a bit too unbelievable. Things like describing how thick and solid a table is, but the good guys can easily stab a knife through it while sliding along it towards a window to certain death. It doesn't matter how many bad guys there are, the good guys get away too easily. "

    " Another great Scarecrow book. This one, like Ice Station, would make a great movie. There was one character who died that I was shocked to see. Reilly leaves no character safe. I really don't know how he slams so much action into a book and still maintains the suspension of disbelief. "

    " I love the fast pace of this book and the continuation of the character Shane Schofield who reminds me of the main character John McClane out of the Die Hard movies. Some say it is too far fetched, but it is fiction after all! Love a writer who has an imagination. "

    " Unfortunately, I did poor research and thought this was the first in the series instead of the third book. I must say I loved it and am now looking for the rest of the series so I can start from the beginning. Fast paced, in depth, and very cool. I particularly liked The Black Knight. "

    " Shane Schofield is at it again and I'm loving it so far! Again--nonstop action. Sometimes I find myself wanting a break in the actions so I can put it down for the night! A brainless action book that delivers as promised! "

    " A great action-adventure story. I really like Matthew Reilly's books and the way he writes. This was the second book in his Scarecrow series and it didn't dissappoint. It was a nice sequel to Ice Station, but could be read on it's own too. "
