What Reilly did here with all the action was fun. Instead of having down time in the book to let the characters figure things out or solve problems, Reilly just made them do all that while there was action going on. Want to talk to other characters and figure out why things are happening, well lets do that while getting chased and shot at doing over 100mph on the highway. Just good old action fun.

A fantastic read that keeps you on the edge of your seat as the story unfolds. Would reccoment it to anyone who loved Reilly's eariler books as this book shows much more of a human side to our hero.

I give this book three stars because it really depends on what you're looking for. If you love pure adrenaline, you'll give this book four or five stars because it's non-stop action. If you want deeper plot and characters, you'll probably give it two stars. There's a story here, but it's pretty superficial. It's mostly a chess match on steroids between deadly adversaries. Fun book if you like this sort of thing.

I absolutely love all of Matthew Reilly's books, but this one is my absolute favorite! The action starts on the first page and never stops. I read this book in 1 day! I could not put it down!!!! He is a fantastic storyteller and I wish that all his books would be made into movies. I tell everybody I know to read his books. If you are a action junkie, then this book is for you!!!!!

WRITTEN UNDER THE BRITTISH TITLE "SCARECROW", THIS IS MATTHEW REILLY'S MOST EXCITING BOOK SINCE "ICE STATION".
IMAGINE GOING TO AN ISOLATED SIBERIAN MILITARY INSTALLATION TO KILL TERRORISTS, ONLY TO FIND THAT YOU'VE BEEN SET UP, THAT THERE IS A MULTILLION DOLLAR BOUNTY ON YOUR HEAD, AND THAT ALL THE BOUNTY HUNTERS IN THE WORLD ARE TRYING TO PUT YOUR HEAD IN A BOX, AND COLLECT THE BOUNTY, AND YOU HAVE AN IDEA OF SHANE SCOFIELD'S PREDICAMENT.
SHANE SCOFIELD, AND THE 14 OTHER NAME'S ON THE BOUNTY LIST, ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO CAN STOP AN INTERNATIONAL CADRE OF FINANCERS FROM UNLEASHING TOTAL ANARCHY AROUND THE WORLD, AND THE RESULT IS A THRILLER THAT MOVES AT THE SPEED OF AN ICBM, AND RARELY SLOWS IT'S PACE ENOUGH FOR THE READER TO CATHCH HIS/HER BREATH!
HIS BEST BOOK SINCE "ICE STATION", AND HIGHLY RECCOMENDED!
GOOD GOING MATT! YOU'VE GOT A LIFE LONG FAN IN THIS READER!
