La biblioteca pública de Nueva York es un santuario de conocimientos: un laberinto centenario de imponentes librerías, angostos pasillos e interminables vestíbulos de mármol. Para el doctor Stephen Swain y su hija Holly es la materialización de una pesadilla… Ya que por una noche, este insigne edificio se convierte en el escenario de una competición. Una competición en la que Swain debe participar, lo quiera o no. Las reglas son sencillas: siete concursantes entran en el laberinto; solo uno saldrá con vida.
Con una niña de ocho años como única aliada, el doctor Swain se ve empujado a librar una terrible batalla por la supervivencia. Puede intentar huir, esconderse o luchar pero, si quiere seguir vivo, tendrá que vencer. En esta competición, o sales victorioso… o no sales.

Dr. Stephen Swain and his daughter Holly are teleported into the NY Public Library, which has been sealed by an massive electric field, along with a guide named Selexin. Selexin explains that Swain is the sole human in mortal combat with extraterrestrials, and the rules of the Presidian competition. (Holly's presence was only an accident because she was too close to Swain when he was snatched.) Brutal, violent, fast-paced action, with ineffective, secret U.S. governmental interference. Swain's creativity and cool demeanor under pressure is impressive. This was Australian author Reilly's first book, which was originally self-published. ( )

I love almost everything that Matthew Reilly writes….so I wasn’t too surprised that I love this one also. If you were to mix “Juristic Park” and “Die Hard” together you would have the ingredients that compose Contest. Matthew Reilly has an incredible talent for creating characters that matter and that you can care about. Contest will take you for one wild ride and you will be glad that you went along. . Have fun! Don’t try too hard to make it make sense in the scheme of reality…just sit back and enjoy. ( )

A little too sci fi/aliens for me. It was ok. ( )
