"Contest" is my second book by Matthew Reilly. Though it had a few problems, I actually did enjoy it.

It it easy to tell this was his first book. At some points it was almost like reading a cartoon...an enjoyable cartoon.

The book is very fast-paced, taking place in only a few hours with nonstop fight scenes and an incredible lineup of happy coincidences.

The premise of the book is really not all that original, but he has developed some original aliens and situations. And the addition of Swain's daughter was an interesting wild card.

I already have another of Reilly's books on my TBR stack.
