Hell Island does not appear on any maps. It is a secret place where classified experiments have been carried out. Experiments that have gone terribly wrong. When all contact with the island is inexplicably lost, four crack Special Forces units are dropped in. Their mission is to land on Hell Island and discover what has happened. Nothing can prepare them for what they find there. You could say they've just entered Hell. Only that would be wrong. This is much, much worse.

Fun book from exciting Australian author
I love Matthew Reilly books. I found myself about an hour and a half from the end when I had to wait over the weekend to finish. I woke up one night wondering how he was going to finish the story. Good to see him try a female protagonist. The school scenes initially seemed a bit long, but I saw the point as the book went along.

exciting, mysterious and a thriller
this audiobook was very well narrated, a voice suited to a story told by a 16 year old. the story was thrilling, a little chilling at times, but an all round success suited to teens (and adults who enjoy a lighter tale every now and then!) some of the story felt a bit obvious or familiar (other tv/movies/books) but in all a very exciting story, as I've learnt to expect from Matthew Reilly.

Great story, narration not so much
As my description says this was a great story & has left me hoping there’ll be a sequel, especially after listening to the conversation between Sky & her dad about the gems plus listening to the interview with Matthew Reilly at the end of the book. I loved the twists & turns the story took, with characters I though were “baddies” ended up being “goodies”. I don’t want to say anything else just in case I reveal spoilers, what I’ve already written borders on that anyway. The narration though left a little to be desired. Maybe I’m just being a bit of a prude being used to such fantastic narrators like Rupert Degas & Ray Porter. While Jacqui Duncan’s voice really suited the female characters, she did not suit the male characters. Her flow & storytelling were really good, it was just the male characters voices which grated on me. Thanks again for a great story Matthew, thoroughly enjoyable & very much recommended.

A time travel book for teenagers
I chose this book because my favorite genre is time travel and I enjoy most of Matthew Reilly’s books. It took me awhile to get into it because the time travel element took awhile to come about. Also it is really geared toward teenagers. Once I finally got into the story I enjoyed the book. During an interview with the author, Reilly stated that this was a stand alone book but I wonder if that is true as there seems to be clues to the possibility of more to come. One thing I DID NOT like about the book was the use of the “f” word. Now I was a high school teacher/librarian so I know that some teenagers use profanity but not all, so I don’t know why authors have to include this type of language. I currently volunteer in a library at a Christian school and would have recommended this book it it hadn’t used the profanity.
