	Matthew Reilly - Scarecrow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Written in now-trademark Reilly style, Scarecrow vividly takes readers on a whirlwind trip around the world, trashing billions of dollars worth of military machinery, property and weaponry (some real, some visionary) as he goes, and taking on bounty hunters, international intelligence agencies and political superpowers.
		Reilly spares no character – if they aren’t advancing the novel (or if their death will) their lives are tossed away like cardboard dolls, never to be written of again.
		As in Area 7 and Ice Station, the new novel has an acute awareness of international diplomacy, and some of the events in Scarecrow are eerily reminiscent of recent world events, or take popular conspiracy theories and rumours to the next level - making fictitious enemies of the world’s superpowers.

	Amazon.com: Scarecrow: Books: Matthew Reilly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Area 7; Temple; Contest; Ice Station—fans of Reilly's novels know that no one writes faster-moving adventure fiction, so it's a shock to read, in an interview with Reilly included at the back of this novel, that he aimed to "create a new level of speed and pace" here.
		And even the traditional novel form is secondary in this entertainment entity; this is as much video game as novel, complete with meticulous diagrams of most of the many locales (a penal installation in Siberia; an office tower in London, etc.) and literary sound effects ("An ominous deep-seated thromming emanated....").
		As with Reilly's other novels, there is a multi-faceted plot, and a veritable army of bad guys from various groups or countries, who are usually all trying to kill each other at one point or another.

	Endorsements of author Weston Ochse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Scarecrow Gods is an epic nightmare told by a writer who made me sit up and pay attention from the very first line.
		"Scarecrow Gods is a brilliant epic of terror that will remind genre fans of Robert R. McCammon's finest work and King and Straub's fantastical The Talisman.
		It's a shame Ochse's first novel will reach such a limited audience because it's obvious this born story teller has a lot to tell.

		It is a novel of hope and transformation that challenges our ideas about diversity and social change, all the while breaking our hearts.

		University of South Florida computer science students have built and tested an intelligent scarecrow that guards fish farm ponds from predator birds through image processing and loud, artificial gun blasts and water cannons.
		Erebus was born in the USF College of Engineering as just one of the novel projects during this semester’s Senior Project in USF professor of computer science Ken Christensen’s class.

		Otherwise, if I did not limit it and if I fired at the scarecrow, through the piece of steel, and the bullet hit the figure, it would go on, passing through whatever else was in the way, until its power was lost.
		In spite of the fact that the gun was larger than an ordinary rifle, it was not as heavy as the United States Army weapon.
		Tom aimed at the armor-plate, and, by means of an arrangement on the rifle, he could tell exactly when he was pointing at the scarecrow, even though he could not see it.

		He also knows how hard it is for the writer to thrill consistently over a few hundred pages, a skill that is constantly underestimated.
		The reviewer called the book "crap", said it tapped into a dark vein of violence and xenophobia and claimed there was more literary merit in a shopping docket.
		Perhaps it's because thrillers have broadened out into such a wide genre: the novels of Alex Garland and Will Rhodes, for example, have little in common with the novels of Tom Clancy.
