About this listen

 The New York Public Library. A silent sanctuary of knowledge; a 100-year-old labyrinth of towering bookcases, narrow aisles and long marble hallways. For Doctor Stephen Swain and his daughter, Holly, it is the site of a nightmare. Because for one night this historic building is to be the venue for a contest. A contest in which Swain is to compete - whether he likes it or not. The rules are simple: Seven contestants will enter, only one will leave. With his daughter in his arms, Stephen Swain is plunged into a terrifying fight for survival. The stakes are high, the odds brutal. He can choose to run, to hide or to fight - but if he wants to live, he has to win. For in this contest, unless you leave as the victor, you do not leave at all.©2000 Matthew Reilly.

What idiot in Sydney publishing rejected this? It is a romping story, absolutely loved it!!

As a first book this is a story with a certain rawness about it. Not polished in the true sense of an international best-selling author but well worth the read. So much so that I have immediately progressed to book 2 "Ice Station".

First book "raw" quality

At first I once thought the book had started and I started listening to the story I thought this book sounded ridiculous, so I persevered with it. After a while I started understanding the punch line of the Story, then I became intrigued with the story. I was so use to Matthew Reilly’s other Story books I thought it was going to intense like they were for the likes of Ice Station, Scarecrow, Temple etc... But it’s nothing like those story once I listened to the whole story. In the end it turned out to be a good Story line, Thanks Matthew Reilly for yet another great Audio Book. I’m still waiting for the next Jack West Jnr Audiobook Novel to be released as I have read all of the Jack West Series and all the Shane Schofield aka the “ Scarecrow “, I’m hoping there would be more of the Scarecrow to come as well as Jack West Jnr novel. Sean Mangan tells these stories with great pride, he is very well suited for telling these great stories of Matthew’s.
