About this eBook
From Australia's favourite novelist, author of the Scarecrow series and the Jack West Jr series with new novel Mr Einstein's Secretary out now.
A dauntless young hero.
An army of brutal monsters.
An impossible quest.
Journey to the mountain ...
In an isolated valley, a small tribe of humans is dying from a terrible illness.
There are rumors, however, that the trolls of Troll Mountain, the valley's fearsome overlords, have found a cure for the illness: a fabulous elixir.
When his sister is struck down by the disease and his tribal leaders refuse to help him, an intrepid youth named Raf decides to defy his tribe and do the unthinkable: he will journey alone to Troll Mountain and steal the elixir from the dreaded trolls.
But to get to Troll Mountain, Raf will have to pass through dangerous swamps and haunting forests filled with wolves, hobgoblins and, worst of all, the ever-present danger of rogue trolls ...
The journey to the mountain has begun.
IN THIS, THE FIRST OF THREE SERIALIZED EPISODES, MATTHEW REILLY TAKES YOU ON HIS WILDEST RIDE YET: A HEADLONG QUEST TO THE DARK HEART OF THE KINGDOM OF THE TROLLS.

Unsure of why this work of his has been published. Matthew Reilly has always been a favorite of mine, however this just doesn't seem like him. He could have a much bigger story and adventure, however it is very rushed and I feel has no depth or character development and is predictable. Lets hope things change in the next one.

3 stars for great story concept, but sophistication of writing was lacking and characters predictable if you have read Reilly before. His writing style really has gone down in the past few years, however, I'm still looking forward to reading the second book in this series

Rielly should stick to military fantasy. I like his other books. This is just rubbish. Dull uninspired recycled world with recycled characters. Nothing original here. Reads like something a 10 year old would write. Actually many 10 year olds could probably get more imagination and a few interesting characters. This is pure blandness at its blandest.
