Matthew Reilly

Finding Matthew Reilly has been a rather strange readerly experience, from trying to fill the gap that Crichton left, to reading a single book and finding myself obsessively hooked.
So far I've read Contest, three short stories, and I'm currently reading The Great Zoo of China.
After only reading Contest I collected everything I could by him.

The even stranger thing about this? I only rated Contest a 3 out of 4, and I'm not even tempted to change it. Mainly because I look forward to finding the one that is undeniably 4-worthy.

I've found his writing to be sneakily addictive, and I'm happy to oblige the compulsion. 8)

I find myself wondering if anyone else has read anything by him?

OMG.. I love him. I'm honestly more of a romance/historical fiction reader, but Reilly is so addictive. I have read both Contest and the Great Zoo of China, which is amazing. I've also read the Shane Schofield series as well as the Jack West Series. Personally, I prefer the Jack West series because it's more adventurous. The Schofield series is more military based. I would also recommend Temple and the Tournament.

I have them all waiting for me :lol:
I really want to read Troll Mountain, but it's next to impossible to get a physical copy.

I read the short story prequel to The Tournament, as well as a few others. I love it when authors offer free short fiction on their sites!

Australian author Matthew Reilly is known for his thrillers. Ice Station written by him was
pretty good action and suspenseful adventure story set in Antarctica.

I’ve devoured all three, and I love how Reilly keeps things fresh:

Ice Station had me clutching my seat in a frozen, high-stakes rescue.

The Four Legendary Kingdoms whisked me off on a mind-bending quest through hidden realms.

The Five Greatest Warriors felt like Indiana Jones meets crack-team thriller, hunting lost relics in deadly ruins.

It’s rare to find an author who nails military suspense, epic fantasy, and globe-trotting adventure—and he does it all with nonstop, can’t-put-it-down energy
