Doce hombres, doce multimillonarios, con negocios limpios y turbios que proteger. Quince objetos, los mejores guerreros del mundo: soldados, espías, terroristas... Estos últimos tienen que estar muertos en un plazo de seis días. La recompensa: casi veinte millones de dólares por cabeza. Entre los nombres de la lista destaca el de un enigmático marine llamado Shane Schofield. La persecución ya está en marcha, los cazarrecompensas le siguen la pista. En su frenética lucha por sobrevivir, Schofield descubrirá una compleja conspiración internacional y el terrible motivo por el que, bajo ninguna circunstancia, pueden dejarlo con vida... A shady group of billionaires (the Council) publish a list of 15 people with a reward of $18.6 million per head causing a worldwide bounty hunt. Primarily military men, the basis for the list is unclear, but Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield is on the list. Starting at an abandoned facility in Siberia, killers are after him and the others in a non-stop series of attacks. A surprise ally assists Scarecrow, but I found there was too much action at the expense of a plot-- inciting global trouble. Dnf'd at p69. Enough chapters in to know whether this was worth continuing with. Mediocre writing. Lots of gun descriptions, and the 'hero' carrying out nigh on impossible moves to avoid dying. I'm all for alpha males doing ridiculous things but this was just one boring battle/escape after another with no character to the protagonists. I didn't care who lived or died, or why they were being chased. The head hopping pov didn't help either. 3.5 stars It took me a little while to get into this one. The beginning of the book just seemed like a cluster×××× of too many groups of people shooting at each other and everything. Once the plot evolved a little more then I started liking it more. Not my favorite but still a nice mindless action 'flick'/I mean 'read.' lol geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Shane Schofield (3) Is opgenomen in
It is the greatest bounty hunt in history. Fifteen names. There are 15 targets, the finest warriors in the world - commandos, spies, terrorists. And they must all be dead by 12 noon, today. The price on their heads: almost $20 million each. One Hero. Among the names on the target list, one stands out. An enigmatic Marine named Shane Schofield, call-sign: Scarecrow. No limits. And so Schofield is plunged into a headlong race around the world, pursued by a fearsome collection of international bounty hunters - including the 'Black Knight', a notoriously ruthless hunter who seems intent on eliminating only Schofield. The race is on and the pace is frantic as Schofield fights for survival, in the process unveiling a vast international conspiracy and the terrible reason why he cannot, under any circumstances, be allowed to live... He led his men into hell in Ice Station. He protected the president against all odds in Area 7. This time it's different. Because this time Scarecrow is the target.
