Better than Scarecrow (at least I finished this one) but I won't be reading any more in the series.
Over the top escapes and defying death at every turn.
This author really is not for me.

I enjoyed this book, as I always do with Matthew Reilly books, however it wasn't quite as good as the last instalment in the Scarecrow saga (though most books won't ever be). I can't wait until he writes more about the characters who survived this particular adventure.

One extra star for nuclear fucking hand grenades. Fewer exclamation points than expected. Deranged polar bears. Awesome.

Leading an equipment testing team in the arctic, Scarecrow is prepared for the weather but not for the enemies. When a nearby deserted soviet base fires up under the Army of Thieves, Scarecrow and his team are the closest help available. What hope do a small group of civilians and marines have against the fire power of a large army?
The non-stop action returns in this next instalment of the marine Shane Schofield. In previous novels, Scarecrows team might have been caught unawares but all were trained to fight the unexpected. This time, with the inclusion of the civilians, it's a very different fight. The reactions of the civilians feel like your own if you were suddenly trapped in a nightmare firefight. The unlikely allies may help Scarecrow win but at what cost?

definitely not as good as the previous Scarecrow books, kept getting bored with it. Plot went off into la-la land sometimes which was annoying. Hope his next books are better.
