Summary: Interesting story line....at least?
Comment: If you're interested in quality action scenes, and a story that twists and develops non-stop; look no further than Area 7. Matthew Reilly continues with his hero from Ice Station, pitting the daring Schofield and the President of the USA in a showdown with multiple enemies. Ranging from elite special forces armed with the best of weaponry, to runaway fugitives, Area 7 is in no short supply of the bad guys. Area 7, located deep in the Utah desert, known only as a secret military institution, gets a visit from the President and his security escorts. Among his escorts, belongs a marine, whos eyes hide legendary combat experience; in short this guy can kick ..., his name is Schofield, call-sign Scarecrow. The book houses page after page of intense action involving foreign special forces, and corrupt military members. Matthew Reilly, utilizes his characters, story, and setting effectively to compile a story that is relatively exciting for those that are interested in STRICTLY action. The book does not belong in a "What does that word mean?" category, the lack of advanced vocabulary, did at times really diminished my attitude towards the book. Note that while Reilly, is effective at his descriptive action scenes, lacks a sense of sophistication in the writing, good or bad is up to ones own preferences. As most readers will observe, the amount of unrealistic page turning scenes adds up, and can have a detrimental effect on your overall liking of the book over time. Though I must give credit to a creatively constructed story line, I would still have to conclusively state that this book is really made for readers, that appreciate suspense and bone-chilling combat scenes, over minimal rationality. If you are more turned on by books that depict realistic scenes, and portray an ultimate image of complexity, this book may be one that stands in your bookshelf, partially untouched. None the less, if your looking to take a break from Tom Clancy's style, this ones a definate candidate.

Summary: WHAT A RIDE!
Comment: After reading Reilly's "Ice Station" and "Temple," I didn't think he could keep up the pace. Ha! Was I wrong! There is SO MUCH going on in this book, you feel like you're riding a roller coaster at warp speed! As in any Reilly book, the characterizations are secondary to the action. And this book has tons of it. I like the characters (at least the heroes) very much. The villains----wow...there are enough here to populate a dozen books! Suffice to say, you're in for a real exhausting read on this one. Bears, kimodo dragons, crazed prisoners, South African hitmen, Air Force traitors, resurrected dead men, you name it---it's here. If you like a thrill a minute in your books, this one is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Summary: Another Matt Reilly Rollercoaster Ride
Comment: Matt Reilly's novels are not for everyone. Readers with a discerning palate expecting thought-provoking characterization and literary depth should most certainly turn elsewhere. On the other hand, those seeking non-stop thrills, jaw-dropping action, and an extremely fast narrative will be highly entertained by Reilly's books. Suspension of disbelief is a must when tackling one of his works. Sit back, relax, and simply enjoy the ride.
