Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves (Scarecrow #4)

At an abandoned Soviet base in the Arctic, the battle to save the world has begun…The secret base.It is a top-secret base known only as Dragon Island. A long-forgotten relic of the Cold War, it houses a weapon of terrible destructive force, a weapon that has just been re-activated…A renegade army.When Dragon Island is seized by a brutal terrorist force calling itself the Army of Thieves, the fate of the world hangs in the balance, and there are no crack units close enough to get there in time to stop the Army setting off the weapon.One small team.Except, that is, for a small equipment-testing team up in the Arctic led by a Marine captain named Schofield, call-sign SCARECROW. It’s not a strike force; just a handful of Marines and civilians. It’s not equipped to attack a fortified island held by a vicious army. But Scarecrow will lead the team in anyway, because someone has to. “Some of the wildest and most sustained battles in an action thriller in a long time. . . . Nonstop action, lots of explosions—and a little bit of conspiracy.”  Chicago Tribune“Matthew Reilly novels should come with health warnings on the cover. . . . [T]he non-stop life-threatening action . . . is not for the faint-hearted. It’s a wild ride.”  The Daily Telegraph “Fans will love the adrenaline rush.”  Library Journal"If you're looking to have your posterior kicked and your name taken, this is the book for you."  Bookreporter"Propels Reilly to the front of the pack."  Publishers Weekly
