Speed Reads by Matthew Reilly
Ever wanted to read a rollercoaster inside a book? Australian author Matthew Reilly has the alternative for those kid-friendly movies on your next flight. Following the success of his self-published book “Contest”, he garnered the attention of publishers Pan Macmillan for a two-book deal. His first was “Ice Station”, an action-packed thriller set in Antarctica.
Captain Shane Schofield is yanked from training exercises in Australia to answer a mysterious call from a scientific diving team brutally murdered before discovering a spaceship during their expedition. What started as a simple reconnaissance mission turns quickly into a race for global recognition.
In 2001, 3 years after Captain Shane Schofield’s debut, he returns as protective detail for the President of the United States in “Area 7″. Maximum-security prisoners, Komodo dragons, and soldiers on crank all share one roof in the mysterious military facility where the President is visiting. Schofield is besieged on all fronts and must fight his way out of the trap while keeping the President alive, with an unexpected mission he must shoulder for the sake of world peace.
