Area 7,the fourth novel from Australian author Matthew Reilly is charged with action. This long awaited novel is set at a secret base buried deep in the Utah desert. Today, the President of the United States is visiting this secret base, closely guarded by a young Marine who hides his eyes behind a pair of silver anti-flash sunglasses. His name is Schofield, call-sign Scarecrow. Schofield and his team from Ice Station are escorting the President on an anything but routine mission. Once the President lands at Area 7, a six level Air Force base that houses military Aircraft, laboratories, human guinea pigs and an underground rail system, his Secret Service Team take over and Schofield and his Marines are left to their own devices until the President is ready to leave. Shane becomes aware that all is not as it should be and a battle rages to save the President from crazed enemy forces that have infiltrated the compound, as well as a host of other hostiles. Separated from the rest of his unit, Schofield and the President must race against the clock to avoid a nation-wide catastrophe that will see the destruction of the United States come to pass.
The MH-12 Maghook, that was used to great effect in Ice Station, reappears in Area 7, along with his trusty Desert Eagle and assortment of Heckler and Koch firearms. As is typical of a Matthew Reilly novel, there is enough weapons and military hardware to appease the most avid tech fan. Area 7 rockets along at super-sonic speed to culminate in a earth-shattering climax.
