Product Description

It is America's most secret base, hidden deep in the Utah desert, an Air Force installation known only as Area 7. And today it has a visitor: the President of the United States. He has come to inspect Area 7, to examine its secrets for himself. But he's going to get more than he bargained for on this trip. Because hostile forces are waiting inside...

Among the President's helicopter crew, however, is a young Marine. He is quiet, enigmatic, and he hides his eyes behind a pair of silver sunglasses. His name is Schofield. Call-sign: Scarecrow. Rumor has it, he's a good man in a storm. Judging by what the President has just walked into, he'd better be.

I picked up this book with some trepidation after reading a few reviews but thankfully the result was well worth the effort. Yes elements of the story are somewhat too far fetched but it is no less unbelievable than a series of 24. The heroes continually get into ever increasingly tighter spots but manage to outsmart their opponents at every turn. Mr Reilly has produced an easy reading novel that is fun cross bred with 24 and Die Hard for a thrill a minute ride that helped me to finish this book much quicker than I ever manage to with a Clancy novel. I enjoyed it and have now started the follow up SCARECROW to see what new scrapes Mr Reilly can conjure up.

Format:Paperback
Well in my opinion anyway.

Forget Mission Impossible this is Mission Impossible and then some, with all sorts of action, presidents with ticking timebombs in them, missiles waiting to launch and some maniac wanting to create some kind of genocide. Granted Scarecrow and a lot of his colleagues would put Steve Austin (the bionic man) through his paces I felt that the worst part of the book was the end the last word on the end of the last page as the book certainly takes you to a different world full of action heroes and heroines and villains that are so over the top.

Get this book now.

Thats if your blood pressure can stand it.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
I found this book something of a paradox. Chase and fight scenes that were really quite ludicrous; a list of superlatives that seemed to start and end with "shocking", a much overused description in this book; and a tendancy to overexaggerate ("a million shells ripped into his body"). Did I enjoy the book? Oh yes, I took it everywhere I went and literally couldn't put it down. It held my attention from start to finish and had some clever twists and turns to it. And needless to say the pace of the action was breathless - the whole book takes place in about 3 hours! I've already ordered the prequel and sequel to this book - I'm a Matthew Reilly fan now.

Great read
I could not put this book down, Originally this was a christmas present for my dad, but ended up reading before him and I loved it. Twists and turns you like a race.

This has to be the worst book I've read - or rather not read, because I gave up before I was halfway through and tossed it in the bin. Read more

None stop action and twists that you will never see coming!
I have just recently began to read the works of Matthew Reily and I have to say, his style of writing is at such a pace that you will find it hard to put any of his books down. Read more

Area 7 is dreadful
This is one of the worst books I have ever read. The plot starts out OK, but rapidly becomes so far fetched as to be laughable. The actual writing is simply dreadful. Read more

Action packed Die Hard meets 24 in a book

How did this get published?
Having read Ice Station, and a couple of the other books, I wasn't hugely impressed, but I was entertained enough to buy Area 7.

This book was just ridiculous. Read more

Switch off brain and enjoy!
Ok. If you like lessons in reality and coherent plots, probably avoid this like all of the other M Reilly books... Read more
