Well, i haven't gotten around to it as of yet, but i just bought his latest book: The Five Greatest Warriors.
His novels are fast paced with twisting plots and intense action. I absolutely love it. While reading, you literally want to turn the page over and over and over just to see what happens next. It's an addictive style of writing, since there are few points where you can just put the book down and stop.

Books

Stand alone novels
1996 Contest (Self-published in 1996; published by Pan Macmillan in 2000)
1999 Temple (appears to be set in the same universe as Reilly's other novels, is referred to in passing in both Area 7 and Hell Island.)

The Shane Schofield series
1998 Ice Station
2001 Area 7
2003 Scarecrow
2005 Hell Island

The Jack West Jr series
2005 Seven Ancient Wonders (Also known as Seven Deadly Wonders in the U.S.)
2007 The Six Sacred Stones (Sequel to Seven Ancient Wonders)
2009 The Five Greatest Warriors (Sequel to The Six Sacred Stones)[4]

Hover Car Racer
2004 Hover Car Racer (released online at www.hovercarracer.com; published by Pan Mac same year)Printed version illustrated by Roy Govier


Until I looked on Wiki (where i got all this info, i had no idea about these short stories Shocked)

I read Hover Care Racer. It wasn't bad. I just had a hard time picturing it all in my head. It just had so much depth to a world different to ours. If they made the movie, then I would definitely see it, then read it again, because as I am reading, I'll be able to picture it.

I looked up Jack West Jr on Wikipedia yesterday.

I haven't read The Five Greatest Warriors yet, but on the second line of text, someone had written a HUGE spoiler.

So I went and edited the page.

So annoyed ><

I reckon he looks too much like tom cruise to me. FAIL. He is a little too scrawny don't you think?

awesome picture you found there Emilia. I do like Matthew Reilly's books, admittedly however I've only read the Jack West Jr series, very good read, perhaps I should look into reading some of his other works.

I am reading Temple at the moment. It is actually quite disappointing. Reilly's other works are much better.

I didn't like temple that much either. It was a bit different from his others. A good friend said it was her favourite, but I DISAGREE.
