What do you think of Matthew Reilly's books?
I own copies of Contest, Ice Station, Temple and Area 7. I'm just waiting for Scarecrow to come out in paperback before buying that too.
His style of writing tends to hold me in the book long after I should have put it down and done something else, like go to bed, or work! The only thing is that I read them so fast that I have to wait ages for the next one!
I like Matthew Reilly - though his books are highly improbable, like a cheesy hollywood movie - they are fast paced, impossible to put down, full of surprises, a welcome release and a roller coaster ride. Have read all - but my favorite has to be the TEMPLE. Waiting for his next book eagerly as well !!
Hi Gautam.
Temple was very good but in my opinion not his best. Although the double storyline was a great touch, I think they were paced too differently and I found it a touch disjointed. My favourite is probably
Ice Station. Being English, I love the way he portrayed the SAS as being the worlds elite, and complete b**tards (even if they did get beaten by the USMC
). Is
Scarecrow as good as the rest?
Am waiting for screcrow to comeout in paper back as well - not sure if I wanna spend 12 odd quid on a hardback for Matthew
Btw, I am a pseudo English as well

I can read them, but they can get a little far-fetched.
Stumble It!
