Synopsis U.S. Marine Captain Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield's third adventure is a breathless race against time and around the globe to prevent a deadly global conspiracy. The latest plot cooked up by Majestic 12--a council of billionaires who secretly control the world--requires the execution of 15 extraordinarily talented men serving in various military, espionage, and terrorist organizations. The cabal sets a price of $18.6 million for each severed head of the chosen targets, and a time limit of six days to get the job done. Naturally, Scarecrow is one of these marked men, forcing him to dodge a legion of bounty hunters while seeking to defuse Majestic 12's sinister scheme.

Industry Reviews "Third installment in the way, way over-the-top action adventures of US Marine Shane 'Scarecrow' Schofield, and the best yet from [Matthew Reilly]....Superb print version of a video game shoot 'em up." (starred review) Kirkus (01/01/2004)
""[N]o one writes faster-moving adventure fiction....[T]he text is all fury, akin to taking a James Bond film, cutting out everything but the action and running that at double speed....Reilly's admirers will love this one, and anyone interested in the outer limit of action writing should check it out." Publishers Weekly (01/26/2004)
