| rdfs:comment | - Matthew Reilly is an Australian author who writes extremely fast-paced action novels. His books have been compared to Indiana Jones on fast foward, with some of the wildest and most sustained battles in an action thriller. His books often contain many examples of both fictional and real-world firearms and military technology, simply for plot advancement. They also usually contain multiple explosions and could be described as 'What can we blow up this time, and how can we make it more awesome?' His books are:
- Matthew John Reilly (born 2 July 1974) is an Australian action thriller writer. His novels are noted for their fast pace, twisting plots and intense action.
- Matthew Reilly is a (relatively) young Australian thriller writer born in Sydney in 1974. His books are best known for their explosions, car chases and break-neck pace. In fact, Reilly has been asked by authorities to stop making his books so fast, because 'enough people have broken their necks already'. In response to this, he wrote a novella, Hell Island, that blew their faces off. He writes mainly airport fiction. This means that the books are sold in dodgy, second-hand bookstores. Americans coming to Australia found them and read them, and the craze spread like a virus (Mind you, some of his books are thick enough to have wings stuck on the side and count as an Antonov An-225). Now, they've been translated into 18 languages (which include Yiddish, Old High German, and Arabic).

Now, they've been translated into 18 languages (which include Yiddish, Old High German, and Arabic). When asked to direct a film adaptation of one of Reilly's novels, Hollywood director Michael Bay declined, commenting; "Simply too many explosions for my taste." He then went off and cried in a corner. Reilly invests a lot of time into research for his books. Whole chapters are used up to describe helicopters and automatic weapons, and almost always contain the words 'ultra futuristic' and 'mean-looking'. This has led to his reputation for being a glorified arms catalogue writer.
