Scarecrow
17/03/09
By Matthew Reilly
Somewhat annoying thriller about the bounty hunt for Scarecrow, a captain (or something) with the US Marines. Lots of action etc., but it is SO annoying that the author uses a lot of italics and exclamation marks – makes the book even more unrealistic than it already is ;o)
Review from amazon.co.uk:
As ‘Scarecrow’ Schofield watches his mission to eliminate a Siberian turn into a bloodbath, he realises he has been tricked – and now become the prey rather than the predator. For a shadowy consortium of staggering power and wealth has included his name on a list of fifteen targets to be eliminated without fail by twelve noon that same day. Now every high-powered bounty hunter on the planet is on his trail, while he must simultaneously track down the perpetrators of a conspiracy about to reduce many of the major cities of the world to ashes. From Arctic Russia to the Afghan border, to France’s Atlantic Coast, to a speed-of-light conflict over the Suez Canal, every form of ultra-tech weaponry comes into play in a spellbinding action drama unfolding within a mere twenty-four hours.
