Does anyone read Matthew Reilly?

He is an Australian author who has written great books; Scarecrow, Ice Station, Area 7, Seven Ancient Wonders, Six Sacred Stones, Contest, Temple. . .

I'm just wondering if anyonee's read him - I definately recommend him to anyone who loves action and military - Reilly makes authors like Andy McNab and Robert Luddlum and that guy that writes a lot of political military stuff all look like children.

^^

Anyone???
I have an approximate knowledge of many things.

I own *all* of his books. Some in double.

I am a *huge* Reilly fan. :D

Hehe, really. They're some of the first "real" books I started to read, and I have a great love of them, despite the precieved issues with them. Scarecrow is a fantastic character - being my favourite. Although Contest shall forever be the best book.

Eh, I've never gotten round to reading him. I did, however, get to see the man in person at the Sydney Writer's Festival and frankly, he is an egotistical big-headed personality. I dont know if maybe it was the fact he was on a panel with other writer's, but he was really flaunting himself. Twas a put-off.
