Book description
As 'Scarecrow' Schofield watches his mission to eliminate a Siberian
turn into a bloodbath, he realises he has been tricked -- and now become
the prey rather than the predator. For a shadowy consortium of
staggering power and wealth has included his name on a list of fifteen
targets to be eliminated without fail by twelve noon that same day. Now
every high-powered bounty hunter on the planet is on his trail, while he
must simultaneously track down the perpetrators of a conspiracy about to
reduce many of the major cities of the world to ashes.
From Arctic Russia to the Afghan border, to France's Atlantic Coast, to
a speed-of-light conflict over the Suez Canal, every form of ultra-tech
weaponry comes into play in a spellbinding action drama unfolding within
a mere twenty-four hours. Matthew Reilly, born and still resident in
Sydney, studied law before turning his pen to fiction. His previous
novels, Contest
, Ice Station
, Temple
and Area 7
, have been massive bestsellers in every continent.
