Description
The thrilling international bestseller from Australia's favourite novelist, author of the Scarecrow series and Jack West Jr series with new novel Mr Einstein's Secretary out now.
"Reilly hurls readers into an adrenaline-drenched thrill ride ... impossible to put down." Orlando Sentinel
"Reilly ... can inspire awe. Speed demons, take note." Publishers Weekly
The New York State Library. A silent sanctuary of knowledge; a 100-year-old labyrinth of towering bookcases, narrow aisles and spiralling staircases. For Doctor Stephen Swain and his eight-year-old daughter, Holly, it is the site of a nightmare.
For one night, the State Library is to be the venue for a contest. A contest in which Stephen 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, Swain is plunged into a terrifying fight for survival. He can choose to run, to hide or to fight - but if he wants to live, he has to win. Because in a contest like this, unless you leave as the victor, you do not leave at all.
Fans of Clive Cussler, Tom Clancy and Michael Crichton will love Matthew Reilly.

Good book
This is the first Matthew Reilly book and yet it is the last book I have read. I've ready all of his books and love them all. Can't wait for the next once. Thanks Matthew for entertaining me and providing the world with truly original characters and stories.

Just started and can't put it down!
Having read all of the Scarecrow books there are to date I came in search of more. I found it!
Brought this book last night and every time I pick it up I get sucked back into the world that is Contest.
Another job well done this book!
