5.0 out of 5 starsMatthew Reilly's first and finest work - Contest is a brilliant thrill ride that should not be missed
Reviewed in Australia on 18 April 2015
The first of Matthew Reilly's books - and in my opinion, still his best. This is the story of a ER Dr who is taken to be part of an intergalactic contest to the death. Only the Dr has no idea and he has an added incentive that the other contestants don't.
This story is a continuous thrill ride that you just can't put down - like all of Matthew Reilly's books.
This book is absolutely brilliant, and you will be captivated right up to the final pages.
This is Matthew Reilly at his best - and should not be missed by anyone who loves Sci-Fi or Action novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars First but not my last - definitely!
Reviewed in Australia on 23 November 2015

First full-sized novel of Matthew Reilly's that I have read and it definitely won't be the last.
I felt like I was in the middle of a sci-fi action movie - fun & nail-biting at the same time.
The pace of the novel was very fast and exhausting to read. I kept wondering how the main character was going to get out of each situation he found himself in.
The finish was sorted out to my total satisfaction.

This book was originally self published due to no company wanting to take it on. Very foolish of them. I have read everything else that Reilly has now had published and this first book has always been my favourite.

Great pace, as is the norm with Matthew Reilly, wanted to read more about this genre from him. He does action so well - all his books should be movies.
