The Great Zoo of China

The Great Zoo of China - Matthew Reilly A few people close to me are loyal, loyal fans of Matthew Reilly, but beyond that I had never really paid much attention to him. I knew he sold well, I knew he was popular, and I knew his stories were epic and full of action.

I’ve always liked my action with a little something “other” and, operating under the misconception that Reilly’s action was straight, real world action, I never thought to try. Until I heard about The Great Zoo of China, I didn’t realise that Reilly’s books are exactly the sort of books I would likely enjoy.

Contest: the one with the fight to the death inside the New York Public Library?
Ice Station: the one about the gate to hell itself at the bottom of the ocean, hidden far below the ice?
Seven Deadly Wonders: the first in a series that sounds like a bit of a cross between Indiana Jones and National Treasure?

Seriously, they all sound like awesome fun! And his newest one is about a dragon zoo?! Sign me up!
