As 'Scarecrow' Schofield watches his mission to eliminate a Siberian turn into a bloodbath, he realises he has been tricked - and now become the prey rather than the predator. For a shadowy consortium of staggering power and wealth has included his name on a list of fifteen targets to be eliminated without fail by twelve noon that same day. Now every high-powered bounty hunter on the planet is on his trail, while he must simultaneously track down the perpetrators of a conspiracy about to reduce many of the major cities of the world to ashes. From Arctic Russia to the Afghan border, to France's Atlantic Coast, to a speed-of-light conflict over the Suez Canal, every form of ultra-tech weaponry comes into play in a spellbinding action drama unfolding within a mere twenty-four hours.

Superfast and Supercool. Complete nonsense plot with complete nonsense scenarios but superbly executed to make this the fastest books I have read. Ultra cool characters abound and this the Scarecrow makes James Bond look like a pansy. But the best parts of this book are the ideas. From Submarine Docks to Aircraft carriers, Reilly does nothing on a small scale. And just when you think he cannot top it anymore, he pulls out the most amazing airshow. Hats off Mr.Reilly
