Ice Station, Area 7, Scarecrow. Three books by Matthew Reilly that will keep you on the edge of your seat

The  hero  Shane  “Scare-crow” Schofeld  gets  into  situations that appear impossible to get out of, and you just have to carry on reading to know how he does it; but as fast as he does, he fnd himself  in yet another one They are total escapism and a real rollercoaster ride.

Imagine  books  that  feel  like  the scripts  of  Diehard,  combined  with parts of Lethal Weapon and a bit of Terminator  thrown  in  and  you will have some idea of what to expect.

Ice station is set in Antarctica where a mystery aircraft suspected to be alien  is  found. They  then  are  attacked by various forces who have intercepted their radio messages for help. From then on, the action doesn’t stop.

Area  7  is  set  around  a Presidential visit  to  this  secret  base where  a  high ranking US offcer who has gone off the rails plans to destroy several major cities  in  the US. Once  again  “Scarecrow” is involved in a rescue mission against his own countrymen that seems to be impossible to deal with.

“Scarecrow”  is  another  all  action book  that  revolves  around  sets  of bounty  hunters who  have  a  “hit  list” of victims  that has been organised by a group of wealthy businessmen whowish to change the world order. Unfortunately one of their members has his own agenda and wants to go further.

Shane  is one of  the people on  the list and he fghts off several attempts on his life, and that of his team until the fnal denouement.

The  technical  background  in  all the books  is well  researched with  a few  liberties  thrown  in but  they  are a good read.

Where  to  get  them…J&K  Books has Ice Station and Scarecrow whilst Pattaya Books  in  Soi Bouakow  has Area 7 as I’ve just returned them.
