This book just has some truly unbelievable action scenarios. It was ok - not a lot of character build up... and you are not allowed to doubt that everything would come out perfectly in the end - some books keep you guessing, this one doesn't, even when he kills off some of the good guy characters.

Great story about the President of the United States being taken hostage, A Race specific biological weapon and a rogue group of Air Force officials. Then throw in a fanatical group from South Africa and you have the makings of a wild ride.
This was an interesting book.

It is America's most secret base, hidden deep in the Utah desert, an Air Force base known only as area 7. And today, it has a visitor, the president of the United States. He has come to inspect area 7, to examine its secrets for himself. But he's going to get more than he bargained for on this trip. Because hostile forces are waiting inside.
Among the president's helicopter crew, however, is a young marine. He is quiet, enigmatic, and he hides his eyes behind a pair of silver sunglasses. His name is Schofield. Call-sign: Scarecrow. Rumor has it, he's a good man in a storm. Judging by what the President has just walked into, he'd better be. . ."
I'm a huge Reilly fan, and I think Area 7 is his best book. Super fast paced and enjoyable.
It is America's most secret base, hidden deep in the Utah desert, and Air Force installation known only as Area 7. And Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield returns with his most harrowing and explosive adventure yet.
