Sam Reilley is a wealthy marine biologist that, with his friend and co-worker Tom, goes on hunts for various mythological items. He goes on several adventures, with each story detailing one or more treasures to be found. Finding the treasures often involve dangerous trials, including battling with the “bad guys”, and saving the world from destruction.
 
Volume 4 of the Sam Reilley Collection contains the following stories:
 
The Ironclad Covenant (Sam Reilly Book 10)
Sam is asked to track down a senator’s missing son who disappeared while searching for the gold spring. This is somehow linked to a secret war chest that disappeared hundreds of years ago. I love the history in this one, very fascinating.

The Heisenberg Legacy (Sam Reilly Book 11)
The wreckage of an aircraft is discovered, with no evidence of the secret to a deadly weapon it was meant to be carrying. Sam goes on a recovery mission, that turns out to be more than he bargained for. There was good interweaving of various stories and nail biting build up. Love it!

Omega Deep (Sam Reilly Book 12)
A nuclear attack submarine disappears. When a spy vessel and aircraft also disappear, Sam is tasked with finding them before the world goes to war. An interesting story packed full of action and adventure.
 
The stories are packed with descriptive scenes, life threatening situations, fast paced action and archaeological treasure hunting. They are cleverly unraveled to keep the listener excited and intrigued throughout, not to mention to hear the next stories in the series. The genre reminds me of Indiana Jones, James Bond and the like. Not only are they filled with action and adventure, I feel that I was also educated by them. There are so many fascinating facts coming through about various mythological things, some of which I had heard of and learned more about, and some that I hadn’t heard of before and learned all about in the books. The stories are well written with cleverly built up plots and characters, including twists and turns throughout. They follow a series with ongoing relationships and themes, but with a new adventure each time. Sometimes other stories are mentioned in other books that elude to future upcoming adventures, or previously completed adventures. The series is absolutely addictive and interesting and I cannot wait to hear the next ones!
 
David narrated expertly. With excellent intonation for various characters and energy and passion throughout the series. He was a perfect fit for what I believe the stories’ perspectives to sound like. There were also some interesting audio elements coming through like hearing two people speak at the same time and hearing people speak through voice scramblers. Overall, the performance was masterful and absolutely added to my enjoyment thereof.
 
I highly recommend this series. Be warned though, once you start you may not be able to stop!

Not the best

Although I like the premise and the main protagonist I found myself happy to be done. For me, the plotting was pretty iffy, especially in the first story where the majority of plot advancement relied on outrageous coincidence.

I thought the vocal performance to be sub par, with the narrator struggling with accents as well as good differentiation of the characters.

I did enjoy parts but I won’t be buying any more of the series.

excellent listen.

really long but interesting. I will listen to this author again......gladly. give him a try.

This book needs better editing

Same characters are two different ranks. Wasn’t anyone paying attention? Just one example. Last time I waste my time. Stories are okay. But now aliens in an underground continent? Seriously?

Excellent Indiana Jones plus dirk pitt adventure

Just love what Christopher Cartwright does with his character Sam Reilly and his very talented team. This is a must read and listen. Superb!

Sam Reilly Collection 4

It is always a pleasure to spend time with Sam and his 'friends'.In these three books he is diving wrecks and nearly losing his life to find a big wigs kid,to save the world from a nuclear bomb and just to hang out and wait for orders...right.David Gilmore was the perfect narrator. I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

GREAT SERIES

The Ironclad Covenant, my tenth read from author Christopher Cartwright & the tenth book in the highly entertaining Sam Reilly series. A well-written thriller with captivating & well-developed main characters. Reminds me of Dan Brown’s early writing as well as the character of Indiana Jones. Since I live in northern Michigan & am employed by Beneteau North America the setting & some aspects of the book had particular appeal to me.
The Heisenberg Legacy, my eleventh read from author Christopher Cartwright & the eleventh book in the highly entertaining Sam Reilly series. Well-written thriller with captivating & well-developed main characters. Reminds me of Dan Brown’s writing.
Omega Deep, my twelfth read from author Christopher Cartwright & the twelfth book in the highly entertaining Sam Reilly series. Well-written thriller with captivating & well-developed main characters. Reminds me of Dan Brown’s writing. These books have been a rollicking adventure & I’ll be reading more by this author as I already own more books in the series and am looking for sales to buy more yet!

Can't Get Enough!!

I absolutely love this series!! Sam Reilly takes us on such a wonderful adventure! I have listened to all the books so far (all twelve books) and look forward to more. I thoroughly enjoy Christopher Cartwright's writing. This series is full of adventure, paranormal, suspense, mystery, humor and plenty of twists and turns. I love it. There's history mixed expertly with the modern. The narration is, as usual, superbly done! David Gilmore is a wonderful narrator. He gives each character their own voices and emotions. He keeps Sam's voice the same throughout and I can't imagine anyone else doing this series. He really helps the books to come alive and pulls you into the adventures, submerging the listener into a world you don't want to end. I have recommend earlier books to my friends and will continue to do so! If you haven't checked this series out then you are truly missing out!

Wonderful as always!

The story just keeps building! The series is so wonderfully done, and it’s not over yet! I can’t wait to see where it goes from here! I highly recommend you start from the beginning, and listen to the whole series. If you like ancient mysteries, or destination unknown, you will love these books! The narrator does a wonderful job through the entire series.
