Area 7 by Matthew Reilly

Matthew Reilly dazzled the world with his electrifying thrillers Ice Station and Temple. And now, Shane Scarecrow Schofield returns with his most harrowing and explosive adventure yet. . .

AREA 7

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. . .

An exciting romp. The action is nonstop and includes shootouts, crazed convicts, wild animals, and an eerily timely subplot.--Library Journal

Reilly has a gift for sustaining momentum that never lets up. --Publishers Weekly
