The edge-of-your-seat bestseller from Australia's favourite novelist, author of the Jack West Jr series and new novel The One Impossible Labyrinth.

"Reilly's admirers will love this one, and anyone interested in the outer limit of action writing should check it out." Publishers Weekly

BOOK 3 IN THE SCARECROW SERIES

It is the greatest bounty hunt in history. There are 15 targets. And they must all be dead by 12 noon, today. The price on their heads: $20 million each.

Among the names on the target list, one stands out. An enigmatic Marine named Shane Schofield, call-sign: SCARECROW. And he's about to be hunted by gangs of international bounty hunters, including the 'Black Knight', a ruthless hunter who seems intent on eliminating only him.

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.

Fans of Clive Cussler, Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton will love Matthew Reilly.

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)

ONE HERO
Among the names on the target list, one stands out. An enigmatic Marine named Shane Schofield, call-sign: SCARECROW.

As always, a pleasure!

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.

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.

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.

Unputdownable

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.

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.
