What they first thought was a harmless place that doesn’t appear on the world map and was used for scientific experiments, would soon be their worst nightmare. A living hell on Earth, a dark secretive place, an unknown part of our world you could say until it makes it’s discovery. Expect the unexpected as Schofield’s team cannot prepare themselves for what they are about to experience.

Matthew Reilly delivers a brilliant action filled book with unpredictable scenes throughout. This novel will not only keep you wanting to know more but will leave your mind blown and shocked at the discoveries that will be made on Hell Island.

This gruesome novel is about marine forces called Delta Force, Seals, USS Nimitz and 82^nd Airborne who have come to Hell Island on a task to discover what its surroundings have to offer. As time goes by, they soon realize this island was created as testing for an elite force. These marines find their way around the island uncovering unknown mysteries that lie within Hell Island. This book brings jaw-dropping moments that will take your breath away at the most shocking bits.

It’s hard to resist not reading this novel as it’s so different in its own ways. I liked this book as it delivered an insanely twisted plot that made me wish this book was longer. I had so many questions during the entire time I was reading ‘Hell Island’ as I was so fascinated with the situations the squads were in. I recommend this book for those who prefer a challenge with reading vocabulary as ‘Hell island’ is filled with detailed words that help you picture every scene perfectly. I also recommend this book for teenagers who love reading the greatest action books that you wouldn’t get tired of reading.  Stephanie T, Year 9.

Do you like action packed stories that have a mysterious twist? If so, then I think Hell Island might be the book for you. Full of mysterious twists, this is definitely the book you’ve been looking for.

Hell Island is a remote Pacific Island in use by the USA Government for scientific experiments. It was originally used as a Japanese airfield during World War II, but was attacked by a force of more than 500 Marines. Dr Knox, the scientist that is in charge of this project, tells Schofield, the second scientist, that they are the sole survivors of a ground test for the apes, which has so far killed six hundred Marines and two Special Forces groups.

Dr Knox congratulates Schofield on his success with this mission, before instructing the Delta team leader to execute them. The leader of the whole squad jams the radio signals controlling the apes, releasing them to murder their creators (the scientists). The Delta team is distracted and Schofield’s team fires them and kills them, leaving only Broyles. Schofield opens a sea door, flooding the tunnels and drowning the apes along with the ‘Buccaneer’.

This book is all about mysteries and special twists. So if you’re a teenage boy looking for an exciting book with lots of action and mysteries, then this book is defiantly for you.
