Classic Elite Troops dropped on an island to find out what happened (

)

autumnesf | Feb 4, 2023 |

Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.

Four elite military units are dropped onto Hell Island, where they face a relentless adversary. Only Scarecrow and his team are able to survive. Non-stop action, but the premise is silly. More of a novella, than novel. Hope the next book is better. (

For a story filled with this much action…it is extremely short…only 120 pages. If Matthew Reilly wasn’t such a great writer with this kind of story it probably would leave the reader confused and saying “what happened”. Fortunately… that never happens here. Just to give you an idea…this is from the book… “It slammed into Haynes, ramming him back against the door. His head hit the steel door hard, the blow stunning him but not knocking him out. And as he slumped to the floor and saw the creature draw a glistening long-bladed K-bar knife from its sheath, Haynes wished it had knocked him unconscious, because then he wouldn’t have to witness what it did to him next…” My only regret is that this wasn’t carried into a full blown novel. 120 pages can only whet the appetite. Oh yeah…you‘ll just have to read the book if you want to know exactly what the creature did to him next. (

am a huge Matthew Reilly fan, so I was interested to see how this novella would pan out compared to his novels. Although very short, with a totally absurd plot, "Hell Island" was still a fun, action-packed read. Matthew Reilly knows how to capture his readers and take them on a roller-coaster ride. It was great to have Scarecrow and Mother as the main protagonists. Along with Jack West Jr, they are my favourite Reilly characters and I love that I can always trust this author to write an entertaining, high-octane adventure. I just wish he was a more prolific writer. (
