Publisher's Summary

The fourth book in the Shane Schofield series, it is the sequel to Scarecrow (also available in audio by Bolinda).

Hell Island does not appear on any maps. It is a secret place where classified experiments have been carried out. Experiments that have gone terribly wrong. When all contact with the island is inexplicably lost, four crack Special Forces units are dropped in. Their mission is to land on Hell Island and discover what has happened. Nothing can prepare them for what they find there. You could say they've just entered Hell. Only that would be wrong. This is much, much worse.

Hell Island, another good novel by Matthew Reilly

What made the experience of listening to Hell Island the most enjoyable?

Action from start to finish. Scarecrow at his brilliant best with Mother along for the ride again.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Hell Island?

The description of his grandfather's WWII battle on the island many years ago gave scarecrow the edge. Where was the mag hook???

Have you listened to any of Sean Mangan’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Only the Matthew Reilly Scarecrow series. Excellent every time. A very clear narrator who get you into the story.

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

Not this one. When Libby Gant died in Scarecrow it was emotional. Why Matthew Why. You better not ever kill Mother.

Any additional comments?

It was very short compared to the most audio books but was priced as high as the others. Could / should have been cheaper

First Audiobook

This is my first audiobook and I love it! I have always been a big fan of Matthew Reilly so I thought it would be a good first book to listen too!

Matthew Reilly's writing has always kept me entraced from first page to last especially the end of chapter cliff hangers just make me want to keep reading/listening!!!

The narrator did such an amazing job to keep me entertained the whole way. Albeit it went for only 2 hours so I will have to see if this is the same for a lot slower or longer books.

Overall I'm so glad that I started with this book as it really has me hooked on audiobooks!

… over all too soon

I knew what I was getting into - but still I wish it was a longer story. Feel a bit ripped off. Actioned packed from start to finish and over all too soon.
