  • Fast paced, lots of action

    It was a good book. That said, I don't think I will be buying his books anymore. His books always make me wonder why he hates the Navy SEALS that he always portrays them as idiots.

    These Scarecrow books are truly a brain roller coaster where I just feel mentally exhausted after reading each one. It was a good book, lots of action but I would have to say it literally is the 4th Scarecrow book - in chronological order but also in ranking. As much as I liked the story, I just could not get over the guns that never run out of bullets. This is one of my biggest pet peeves in movies and it was something that I just could not stop thinking about here.

    I read many action adventure stories and Matthew Reilly and his hero Scarecrow is one of the best action writers I have ever read. It is non stop action from beginning to end. Reading all the crazy stuff Scarecrow gets into and how he gets out of it, is a lot of fun, he reminds me a little of another one of my favorite heroes Dirk Pitt. If you like wild & crazy non stop action than Matthew Reilly & Scarecrow are perfect for anyone.

    This book, as in the others, was hard to put down. It was action packed from beginning to end. Just when you think it's over, the primaries somehow turn up fighting harder and winning a hard-fought battle on sheer wits and guts.

    I thought the book was great. And as expected another great story involving Scarecrow. For any fan a must read. My disappointment came from the publish itself. Throughout the read there were missing chapters and pages in the e-book. To resolve this I would have to delete the book then re-download it. This is the first book I have encountered this with. I hope this issue can get resolved since it is very frustrating to be reading and then skip a few chapters.

    Great book! Make sure to start with "Ice Station" though. Non-stop action, but you have to meet scarecrow from the beginning!
