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

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

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.

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

Any additional comments?

More Books Matthew (Please do not let your own sad loss slow you down...we all feel for you) and please keep the team of Matthew and Sean together

Love you Scarecrow

Big fan of Mathew Rielly and want to date mother (after fox died who else is there). Great listen and performance from Sean. If you love the Scarecrow you know the maghook rollercaster ride will deliver you to hell, and back to the safety of your car. Loved it.

Another terrific book from Reily

Where does Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

The very best. Listened to the story twice.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Scarecrow and the Army of Thieves?

The little robot comes back to save Scarecrow.

Which scene was your favorite?

The French subamarine intervention.

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

It was great a book that cover many emotions. Whilst it took a few minutes to get use to the fast talking American voice it was the right speed.

Any additional comments?

Waiting to download his Sacred Stones books when I can afford it.

Scarecrow equal to his best

Non stop action and suspense as in Reilly's other novels..As usual Sean Mangan seems to excel with these action thrillers.

The best Scarecrow novel yet!

Army of Thieves is the best Scarecrow novel yet. It has a stronger plot, great action and brilliant new characters including a robot named Bertie. Sean Mangan gives his best performance of Matthew Reilly's novels as well. Matthew Reilly keeps getting better with every novel he writes.

Exhilarating, action-packed ride as always.

Matthew Reilly has done it again. This eas the first book I got in audio version for a change and all I can say is WOW! I though this series was amazingly intense when I read them. But the audio book version gives an added excitement & depth I was not expecting.

You killed Scarecrow & Mother, my two favourite characters & I welled up like a baby.... could hardly breathe. Then within minutes a huge sigh of relief & happines, quickly followed by a "OMG.... here we go again" rollercoaster of emotions. I don't know how he does it but Reilly gets me every time, with his back to back, insanely intense twists.

I'm exhausted after listening to this story once again. Congratulations and a big, big thank you for another amazing thrill ride with Scarecrow.
