Matthew Reilly

[Gravy]

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.

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
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!
