Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves by Matthew Reilly is the thrilling fifth instalment in the Shane Schofield series. When the abandoned Soviet base, Dragon Island, is seized by the brutal terrorist group known as the Army of Thieves, the world is on the brink of disaster. The base houses a weapon of unimaginable power that has just been reactivated. With no specialised military units in range to stop them, the fate of humanity falls to an unlikely group—a small equipment-testing team led by Marine Captain Shane Schofield, also known as “Scarecrow.”
Scarecrow and his team, not equipped for such a dangerous mission, must venture into the Arctic to stop the Army of Thieves from setting off the deadly weapon. With their backs against the wall, this ragtag group of Marines and civilians must fight to save the world, facing overwhelming odds and an army of ruthless villains. Reilly brings back the ultimate hero in an action-packed, high-stakes adventure full of suspense, twists, and explosive action.
Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves is perfect for fans of fast-paced action thrillers and those who enjoy a classic hero battling seemingly impossible odds.
