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.

"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."

— Danielle (5 out of 5 stars)

    " 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 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. "
