'Ice Station staked out Reilly's claim to be the fastest action novelist around, and Area 7 lifted the pace a notch. Now Scarecrow ups the ante again, a metal storm of a book that just won't stop' WEST AUSTRALIAN

IT IS THE GREATEST BOUNTY HUNT IN HISTORY

There are 15 targets.

And they must all be dead by 12 noon, today.

The price on their heads: $20 million each.

ONE HERO

Among the names on the target list, one stands out.

An enigmatic Marine named Shane Schofield, call-sign: SCARECROW.

NO LIMITS

And so Schofield is hunted by gangs of international bounty hunters, including the 'Black Knight', a ruthless hunter who seems intent on eliminating only him.

He led his men into hell in Ice Station.

He protected the President against all odds in Area 7.

This time it's different.

Because this time SCARECROW is the target.

'Reilly is as amazing as his hero - another sensational thriller that has a cracking pace' MELBOURNE WEEKLY

'Australia's hot shot young writer, whose plots move faster than a roller coaster, this time makes Scarecrow the target of international terrorists.

The pace makes you giddy' DAILY TELEGRAPH
