Overview

SCARECROW IS BACK AND READY FOR ACTION

Deep in the Arctic, a long-forgotten Soviet military base enshrouds a weapon of unimaginably destructive force—a Cold War doomsday device with the power to obliterate the planet. When a mysterious and brutal terrorist group known as the Army of Thieves seizes control of the remote base and unleashes the weapon upon an unsuspecting world, there is only one team close enough to sabotage them: a ragtag band of Marines and civilians led by Captain Shane Schofield, call sign “Scarecrow.” Outnumbered, outgunned, and with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance, Scarecrow has only a few short hours to bring down the Army of Thieves—or see the Earth go up in flames.

Filled with nonstop action and told in Matthew Reilly’s characteristically white-knuckle prose, Scarecrow Returns is a work of gripping suspense and complete exhilaration.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
A secret Russian facility in the Arctic has been seized by a team of elite commandos calling themselves the Army of Thieves. In four hours, the terrorists will launch the facility's doomsday missile, which will set the atmosphere of the Northern Hemisphere on fire. Capt. Shane Schofield (Ice Station; Area 7; Scarecrow), also known as Scarecrow, is called in to stop the deadly plot. Unfortunately, he and his team are about three hours away. VERDICT Reilly is the king of the action thriller, and he has written his best book in years. The relentless pace will leave the reader breathless. Fans who enjoy military fiction and blockbuster summer action movies will love the adrenaline rush. [See Prepub Alert, 8/1/11.]—Jeff Ayers, Seattle P.L.
Kirkus Reviews
Scarecrow is back. The Army of Thieves presents itself as an anarchist group made up of once-imprisoned Pinochet regime torturers supplemented by assorted African mercenaries, rebels and terrorists. Leading the diabolical cadre is the acid-scarred Lord of Anarchy. On the island, the Thieves control a colossal thermobaric bomb capable of setting the atmosphere of the northern hemisphere aflame. Reilly (Hell Island, 2006, etc.) launches his hero, USMC Captain Shane Schofield, call-sign "Scarecrow," against the Army of Thieves. Scarecrow, recuperating from a bloody mission which roused the ire of the French so much that they put a bounty on his head, had been assigned to a cold-weather weapons-testing mission at an encampment near Dragon Island. With a narrative line suitable for the latest XBox 360 got-to-have-it gamer edition, Reilly delivers nonstop action to propel Scarecrow and his team on and off the island. Characters come, play a part big or small and get shot or blown up, and sometimes come back to life, and it's all equal opportunity mayhem. There's a modicum of backstory, and the text is interspersed with maps and line drawings of weapons and facilities, but the escapades are exaggerated Moonraker-fantastical, with more gadget magic and without Fleming's Bond-character nuances. Think testosterone-bulked automatic weapons, stolen Ospreys, mini-subs and a machine-gun-toting robot named Bertie. Action comic overkill.
Publishers Weekly
After the initial stage setting, the outstanding fourth novel in Reilly’s action thriller series that began with Ice Station (1998) blasts off and never slows. Marine Capt. Shane M. “Scarecrow” Schofield, last seen in the novella Hell Island (2005), travels to the Arctic with a group of civilians and his female buddy and second-in-command—burly, six-foot-two, shaven-headed Gunnery Sgt. Gena Newman—to test a variety of advanced weaponry. Nearby, the secretive Army of Thieves, led by a man known only as the Lord of Anarchy, has taken over Dragon Island, a mothballed Russian secret weapons testing site. The ante rises after the Thieves announce their intention to explode the Tesla Device, a weapon powerful enough to ignite the world’s atmosphere and wipe out much of humanity. The characters offer enough flesh and blood to be convincing, but it’s the high-speed action and battle sequences that propel Reilly to the front of the pack of this particular subgenre. Agent: WME. (Jan.)

    Love all Matthew Reilly's books. He is one of my favorite authors. This book is so good. It's the kind of book that is so hard to put down that you end up reading it into the wee morning. It's so action packed and exciting. :)

    More of what you want in a Matt Reilly book. An added plus is that Matt left out the sound effects, that was distracting in the past. Great read.

    Just like reading an action film

    If you like fast action just like an action movie you will love this book. It follows the other books in the series and gives a little more depth to the main characters.

    A thrill ride -- almost.

    I have read all the Scarecrow books, indeed almost all published by this author. This is not one of Reilly's best. It has the feel of "my editor's waiting so I better get with it." The plot whips along so fast, my willing suspension of disbelief is truly put to the test. I found myself annoyed by too much "stretch" of the possible. The characters we have come to know and love are beginning to feel stale and canned. I found I didn't care as much what happended to them as I have in others. Occupied my time, but not with the thrill I've found in his other books.

    This is an excellent thriller

    Of all the books I read, this Scarecrow is simply awesome read. I love these the action never ceases and even with all the blood gut and gore, you're never bored. Scarecrow and Mother are AWESOME characters and even though this is like the Harlequin of action reads, I'm never tired of the plots and know that it will be alright in the end.

    Unbelieveable

    No I don't mean that in a positive sense. I have read all of the Scarecow Series as well as most of the other book by Matthew Reilly and I liked them all. But this one was just over the top. Miraculously everytime Scarecrow was in a bind the right tool or weapon was right there to save the day. By the end of the book I just could wait for it to be done. Skip this one. It's to hard to fathom

    Reilly and Flynn

    The two masters of the modern thriller Reilly and Flynn craft wonderful books. The return of Scarecrow is a page turner. Do not expect to sleep till you finish it, and probably not even then cause your pulse is racing.

    Typical Matthew Reilly Book - Great Read

    Just read this book. Typical fast-paced, easy reading thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Somewhat unrealistic but a lot of fun at the same time. Did not want the book to end.
