Customer Reviews

Save the trees!
What a pile of tripe, insultingly inept, incompetent and ..er...I can't think of another "i" word. There are so many other books for people with an IQ above their goldfish. Try Paul Sussman.
Please don't encourage Matthew Reilly to do any more, a waste of print and paper - Think of the lovely trees that died for this bilge !

Not Impressed!
I have read nearly all of Matthew Reilly's books and this one runs along the same format as the others. My main complaint is that it is advertised as a new release but is only a part of a bigger plot. Matthew's writing and plot are easy to get along withh and do bounce the reader along but this change in length seems a bit over the top.

is this true
at the start of the book he claims the autumnal equinox is on august the 21st i always thought it was in september.
