Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves

De: Matthew Reilly

Narrado por: Sean Mangan

An old Soviet weapons installation in the Arctic has fallen into disrepair. Known as Dragon Island, the facility is home to a next-generation weapon with the potential to unleash a destructive force upon the world that was developed during the Cold War and subsequently forgotten.

When a terrorist organisation known as the Army of Thieves takes control of the fortified island and activates the weapon, a small band of Marines and civilians is sent in to stop them, as they are the only unit close enough to Dragon Island to be able to reach the installation in time.

Lisa's Review

Loved it Great book Want More Need More please write more
Read it for yourself

Great listen.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

It kept us on the edge of our seats. We listened to this during a long road trip and wanted the trip to last longer.

A great romping ride.

Matthew Reilly delivers a great romping ride again. This storey introduces Bertie - my new hero.

Top quality hard hitting action.

If you could sum up Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves in three words, what would they be?

seat-edged geopolitical action.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

by never revealing the enemy each turn was a blind corner and each reaction was fast and furious.

Which character – as performed by Sean Mangan – was your favorite?

Scarecrow is the undoubted favourite

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

it made me think that although the plot was fantastic it was close to a possibility in terms of the way countries behave and treat their friends and their enemies.

Any additional comments?

Great book, great writer, great series

What a Narrator

If you could sum up Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves in three words, what would they be?

Another blinder in the Scarcrow series and a breathtaking recovery for Schofields who seemed ready to be put out to greener pasture. But the real hero of this story is the story teller in the form of Sean Mangan. I can never imagine listening to anybody else tell these fast paced stories of Matthews. He really seems to live the stories he tells and brings not only the story to life but he becomes each and every character. Hats off to you yet again Sean

Which character – as performed by Sean Mangan – was your favorite?

All, Male or Female...Good or bad Matthew writes a very diversified cast to his stories but Sean brings a deeper meaning to all of them. Matthew writes a brilliant story but was blessed in the story teller. I cannot read a fiction novel.... Have never been able to embed myself into stories I know are not real. But I live life on the road as a sales rep (working out of Matthews home city of Sydney) and have all of Matthews books in Audiobook form. My biggest problem now is dragging myself away to do my work and can often be found parked on the roadside.... too involved with the story to even drive. This unique combination of Matthew and Sean is just 110% adrenalin rush

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The slow turning point in his recovery from losing Gant...I have not recovered yet
