Who's Matt Reilly?

Top Aussie author of American styled action. I loved his first few novels.
Seems to be getting worse with every book now. :(
 
Matthew Reilly is like Dan Brown - he writes for those people who start reviews on Amazon with, "I don't normally read, but...". I've only read Contest, which was a ripping yarn but, like The Da Vinci Code et al, is poorly-written on a prose and dialogue level.
 
He's still disgustingly wealthy and well known though.

And hey, I've managed to get through this entire thread without mentioning the interest I've attracted from Allen & Unwin. Isn't that weird? ;)

Of course now I have to get on and finish writing the bloody thing...

Contest was his first, and was self published.
It's one of his weaker novels really, and the only truely Sci-Fi one.

Ice Station and Temple are really enjoyable.

Excellent! :wave:
 
I've given up on writing fiction. I'll just write non-fiction from now on, probably travel and humour stuff. One then wonders how to go about getting people interested in it if you're not a journalist or a comedian.
 
All this talk of Matt Riley made me start another of his books last night. DAMN YOU ALL.. But it's been enjoyable so far.

My understanding is that he made most of his money by selling the film rights for Ice Station to Disney.. twice. :err:
