It is the greatest bounty hunt in history. The targets are the finest warriors in the world-commandos, spies, terrorists. And they must all be dead by 12 noon, today. The price on their heads: almost $20 million each.
Among the names, one stands out. The enigmatic Marine, Shane Schofield, who goes by the call-sign "Scarecrow." Schofield is plunged into a race around the world, pursued by a fearsome collection of international bounty hunters. The race is on and the pace is frantic as he fights for survival, in the process unveiling a vast international conspiracy and the terrible reason why he cannot, under any circumstances, be allowed to live!
He led his men into hell in Ice Station. He protected the President against all odds in Area 7. But this time it's different, because he is the target. With all of his trademark action, Matthew Reilly continues to establish himself as one of the top thriller writers of today.

Product description

Review

"The text is all fury, akin to taking a James Bond film, cutting out everything but the action and running that at double speed. As much video game as novel. Reilly's admirers will love this one, and anyone interested in the outer limit of action writing should check it out." --Publishers Weekly

"James Bond and Dirk Pitt can step aside-a new action hero has arrived to take their place in Reilly's latest roller-coaster ride. This thrill fest is highly recommended for all fiction collections-even the most jaded readers will need to fasten their seatbelts and hang on for dear life." --Booklist

"Scarecrow should come with a blood pressure cuff shrink-wrapped to it. Nonstop action, adventure, and a HUGE surprise for fans of Reilly's other Schofield novels-what more could you ask for from a novel? You'll give up television forever after reading Scarecrow." --Bookreporter.com

"Lightning-paced." --Entertainment Weekly

"Move over, Jack Ryan and Dirk Pitt-Marine Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield is the next great action hero. Matthew Reilly's well-developed characters and nonstop action more than compensate for an implausible plot." --Dallas Morning News

"The pace is breakneck... will hook you right from the start." --Waterstone's Books Quarterly (UK)

"This is unashamedly ball-busting reading... it certainly clears the palette." --Arena (UK)

"Here's pace, jargon, diagrams, gadgets and guns to get excited about... Scarecrow is breathless." --Mirror (UK)

From the Back Cover

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...

THE GREATEST BOUNTY HUNT IN HISTORY

FIFTEEN NAMES
There are 15 targets, the finest warriors in the world-commandos, spies, terrorists.
And they must all be dead by 12 noon, today. The price on their heads: almost $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 plunged into a headlong race around the world, pursued by a fearsome collection of international bounty hunters-including the 'Black Knight', a notoriously ruthless hunter who seems intent on eliminating only Schofield. The race is on and the pace is frantic as Schofield fights for survival, in the process unveiling a vast international conspiracy and the terrible reason why he cannot, under any circumstances, be allowed to live...

"Lightning-paced."
--Entertainment Weekly

"Move over, Jack Ryan and Dirk Pitt-Marine Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield is the next great action hero."
--Dallas Morning News

As always, a pleasure!

Reviewed in Australia on 26 July 2019

Since my brother introduced me to Matthew Reilly's books in high school, I've never been able to get enough of him. Scarecrow was the perfect treat for my sweet tooth and I'd find myself biting my nails at high-impact scenes and the hours of the day would fly by.

If you're looking for a reason to read Matthew Reilly's books, this is it. Every single one of his stories hit the spot and kept on going. You will not regret the time spent reading.

I am breathless

Reviewed in Australia on 12 October 2018

The pace of this book is unbelievable. I cannot get enough of Matthew Reilly's stories. He is truly one of my most favorite authors. The pace of this story leaves one breathless, but you can't stop reading. All emotions are engaged. I feel exhausted after finishing this book. Love it, love it, love it!

The one and only Scarecrow.... Are you ready for the chase?

Reviewed in Australia on 6 June 2018

Verified Purchase

If your looking to find out who the Scarecrow really is this is the book for you. Not only is he tested in brains and brawn but is tested emotionally and this one will have you on the edge of your seats until the very last page. You will be pulling your hair out, gasping aloud and crying hysterically throughout this world-win journey that is Scarecrow.

Love the Scarecrow Series

Reviewed in Australia on 4 May 2020

Verified Purchase

Another great read in the series about this awesome character, Scarecrow is believable and is involved in some very exciting adventures, this series is awesome, I'm buying all of them

My favourite Scarecrow so far.

Reviewed in Australia on 19 November 2015

Verified Purchase

I read the first 3 Scarecrow novels back to back and I found by the end of this one that a lot of the action scenes were kind of predictable. Well, not in the sense of knowing how they were going to get out of certain situations, but the fact that whatever would happen was going to at the very last moment. Despite that, I found it equally as hard to put down as the first two and I enjoyed the story far more. The whole concept of the bounty hunt and the different players involved made for a very interesting book. If you like the first 2, you'll love this one.

This series grips my imagination

I’m really a sci fi reader but this series blew me away. So much so, that I’m now a Matthew Reilly fan as well.

Excellent!! I love all of Matthew reilly's books ...

Excellent!! I love all of Matthew reilly's books and in particular love the characters Scarecrow and Jack West. The books are fast paced and mind blowing. Matthew you cannot write fast enough for me. More Scarecrow and Jack please.

Classic Matthew Riley book and my favourite in the scarecrow series. The addition of the black night was awesome! Really hoping he one day gets his own story.

Unputdownable

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2022

Verified Purchase

I picked this book up as i was caught on a broken bus but after realising i had missed my stop due to being so involved with the story i immediately ordered all the rest in the series. I raced through them during my annual leave and finished all of them. These books are full of thrills, spills and heart stopping moments with characters you will love. I highly recommend them. I have now downloaded the Jack West series to see if they are as good.

Good, not great

This is another good younger persons book. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the first two but it was still good.
Still has all the unbelieveable action and fast paced Flow his others have.

Miss Tabby

Another masterpiece.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 April 2015

Verified Purchase

The third in the Scarecrow series and just as gripping as the first two. A fast paced, clever plot with the introduction of new characters and, as usual, the body count piles up! Although a stand-alone novel, anyone who hasn't read Matthew Reilly before should start at the first in the series (Ice Station) as references are made to it. Without wanting to give anything away, there are some shocking twists. Couldn't but the book down.

Amazon Customer

A helluva ride, but blurred text in diagrams and maps

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 November 2017

Verified Purchase

I actually reread this book - I will reread all of Reilly's books - because I was so impressed by its sheer inventiveness and relentless pace . Nobody writes action like Matthew Reilly.
So why "only" four stars ? Because most of the text accompanying the essential diagrams and drawings is blurred. Really an issue Kindle needs to address.

An intense adventure full Of Blam-Blam-Blam

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 September 2015

Verified Purchase

Another killer read from the pen of Mathew Reilly. Plenty of Blam-Blam-Blam (I.e. lots of shootouts) and chases galore, all set on fifth gear. This novel is definitely sponsored by Mach-3 and it is also absorbing and it's obvious that Mr Reilly has researched intensely. Very imaginative. Superb.
