The New York State Library looms as a silent sanctuary of knowledge: a hundred-year-old labyrinth of towering bookcases, narrow aisles, and spiral staircases. But for Dr Stephen Swain and his eight-year-old daughter Holly it is a place of nightmare. Because, for just one night, this historic building is to become the venue for a horrifying contest, a contest in which Swain must compete, whether he likes it or not. The rules of the challenge are simple: seven contestants will enter, but 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 are brutal. He can choose to run, to hide, or to fight - but if he wants to live, he needs to win. For, in this particular contest, unless you leave as victor, you do not leave at all.

At 37, I‘ve recently been diagnosed with ADHD. It definitely brings a lot into focus. That being said, with the busiest time of year for us, and trying to figure this out I feel even more scattered than normal lol. Woefully behind on #readingwesteros but I‘ll get there @5feet.of.fury ! Especially now that I found my book 😂🤦‍♀️

Mehso-so

It was alright. Certainly great for readers who need their novels to be like an action movie. Recommend for standard level 12 year olds.

I love the Shane Schofield books by this author, so I was enthused to read this, his first ever book (stand alone featuring Dr Stephen Swain).

It‘s not quite as polished as the Schofield series, but it barrels along at breakneck speed. There‘s obviously quite a lot of violence & death due to the subject. Great read. 4🌟

What not to love about Matthew Reilly books. This may be the first book he ever wrote but full of his usual pace,, action and tension. I do love his writing style and this is no exception. This book reminded me of Janes Rollins books with the creatures he created that Swain had to fight to survive! I do wonder what great book these two writers could produce if they collaborated - two of my favourite authors together. Recommended. 4.5 ⭐️

Listening to The Contest by Matthew Reilly. This was the first book Matthew Reilly wrote which he self published and there were only 1000 copies initially. Interested to see where his literary journey started. Love the intensity, pacing and feel of his books. Much of the book takes place in New York Public Library.

EadieB @Andrew65 I loved this one! 7y
Andrew65 @EadieB Yet to find a Matthew Reilly book I don‘t love, and once again enjoying this one. Interesting proposition. 7y
EadieB @Andrew65 it‘s really good for a first book! 7y
