Sinossi
È la più devastante minaccia terroristica di sempre. Perché questa volta il bersaglio non sono gli Stati Uniti o l’Europa, la Cina o il Medio Oriente. Il bersaglio è il mondo intero. Un esercito di mercenari ha infatti preso il controllo di una base militare segreta sull’Isola del Drago – un luogo pressoché irraggiungibile annidato nel gelido cuore dell’Artico – e ha attivato un’arma sperimentale dalla forza distruttrice senza precedenti. Nessun ultimatum, nessuna richiesta: entro quattro ore, ogni forma di vita sulla Terra cesserà di esistere. Troppo poco tempo per poter intervenire, quindi l’unica speranza per l’umanità è rappresentata da Shane Schofield, nome in codice Scarecrow, un marine americano che si trova «in esilio» tra i ghiacci dopo che i suoi metodi anticonvenzionali gli sono valsi una taglia sulla testa. Toccherà a lui e alla sua squadra penetrare all’interno della base militare, neutralizzare i terroristi e disinnescare l’ordigno. Ma un gruppo di nemici è già sulle tracce di Scarecrow, pronto a eliminarlo prima ancora che possa mettere piede su quell’isola maledetta...

In this book a terrorist group gets hold of a huge cache of guns and artillery - as well as a doomsday weapon - and prepares to wipe out the planet. A black ops group led by Captain Shane Schofield (Scarecrow) is assigned to save the day. If you like non-stop action with detailed descriptions of wea Leggi tutto
Scarecrow Returns is Reilly's first Shane Scofield novel since Scarecrow (2003), almost eight years earlier, and naturally I was looking forward to it. When I heard about this novel's premise, though, I had some doubts. It felt like a return to his older books (like Ice Station), which I'd enjoyed,
Easily the strongest book in this high octane, action-packed series. The Scarecrow (Shane Schofield) and his sidekick, Mother (Gena Newman), are working in a remote location in the Arctic Circle, in part because France has a bounty on his head. Meanwhile, a terrorist organization (the Gang of Thieve Leggi tutto
Q. What do you get when you cross a GI-Joe with an Energiser Bunny, a Michael Bay movie, and explosions straight out of Team America? A. Shane Schofield – codename: Scarecrow Matthew Reilly’s sequel to ‘Scarecrow’ is every bit as exciting and tense as its predecessor with our dependable hero once aga Leggi tutto
It has been a long time since I have read a Scarecrow novel and I had forgotten how much I enjoy reading his stories. This is what you want and anticipate from a Scarecrow novel. Action, action and more action. Lets hope we get a new Scarecrow novel soon.
There is a small quote at the start of this book that sums up the great new installment in the Scarecrow series: "The President looked at a wall clock. I was now 5 pm, or 6 am at Dragon. 'Are you telling me that in five hours an unknown force is going to set off some kind of superweapon that will ign Leggi tutto
Awful rubbish, even by techno-thriller standards. Good grief this is terrible. I have not purchased this book, nor do I plan to ever buy anything written by Reilly, this book really is that bad. First how I came to read it (or rather the first thirteen pages and skimmed the rest); I was waiting for my Leggi tutto
High Speed Low Drag! It's really the only way to describe Reilly's latest Scarecrow novel. Reilly is the master of action, not realistic action, but crazy off the planet, balls to the wall, slightly obscene, blood curdling, adrenaline pumping ACTION! You come away from one of his novels with a high
