The Cassidy Project

Sam Reilly, Book 5

By: Christopher Cartwright

Narrated by: David Gilmore

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean in 1962, at the height of the Cold War, the US military experimented with electromagnetic pulses created by detonating high atmosphere nuclear bombs. The project was code named Starfish Prime. The primary objective was to develop the ability to produce an EMP with enough force to knock out an entire nation’s communications, rendering a retaliatory attack impossible. The secondary objective, along with its consequences, was deemed too important to national security to ever be released.

In 1983, an American B52 Nuclear Bomber goes missing somewhere near the Bering Strait while delivering a secret cargo at the express order of President Ronald Reagan to an unmapped island.

Present day, in the Weddell Sea off the coast of Antarctica, a woman wakes up on a cruise ship to discover she’s the only person left aboard, despite no apparent fault with the ship. Sam Reilly, already on a rescue mission to Antarctica to save five French scientists, may be the only person standing in the way of the completion of The Cassidy Project.

The Cassidy Project
Sam Reilly, Book 5
By: Christopher Cartwright
Narrated by: David Gilmore
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
These Sam Reilly books just keep getting better and better! They are part Dan Brown, Indiana Jones, and James Bond but more grounded. Always lots of twists and turns, adventure, action, advanced science or a touch of science fiction, and wonderful characters. By now I feel like the crew is part family! Lol.
The narrator is great and it helps having the same one all the time. He does a wonderful job.

Good read, good series

Well-written and captivating with well-developed main characters reminding one of a poor man’s Vince Flynn. It’s hard coming into a series in the middle, books #4 & #5, I’ve obviously missed much. I’ll be reading more by this author. Since I own both the Kindle & Audible editions I was able to read along while listening. I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing it. Up next is The Nostradamus Equation. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Another solid Sam Reilly book

I have really enjoyed all of the Sam Reilly books so far, and this one was just as entertaining as the others. Some of the science seemed to be stretched a little too far with radio interference from the surface causing problems with underwater communication. Also, the particle physics seemed to really push boundaries.

Even with the science issues, the story was still exciting a fun to listen to. Keep up the good work.

Extremely good

I found this audiobook to be an extremely good listen. It has a great combination of mystery, suspense, danger and some drama. The narrator does a wonderful job of bringing each character out.

James Bond, move over!

I absolutely love the detailed action involving all of the exciting technology. Weapons, advanced computer science and technology, awesome water, land and aircraft...how much more exciting and action packed can you get in one book?! I wish they would make these into movies, they would blow the James Bond Franchise out of the water. The characters are inviting, the storyline is exciting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. I love all of the characters, the female characters are just as awesome and intelligent as the males. It’s so great to see women’s potential to excel, at traditionally male-centered activities, realistically portrayed, and which allows them to also portray the aspects of their biological imperative to be supportive and nurturing. The male characters are intelligent and dynamic, yet they display normal, human foibles and mistakes, that make them fun and relatable to the reader. The narrator is great at making different voices for the characters, I even recognized a character in an out-of-context scene by his voice! I could not put this book down, as it were, because I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next, so many exciting twists and turns. I’m looking forward to the newest book on Audible!

A 5* read/listen.

Suspend your belief in reality, and enter into a great adventure in a world of fiction. To be honest this story doesn't push the realms of science too far, and the storyline is possible.
It is another great read from Christopher Cartwright - this series of books keeps getting better. Lots of fast paced action with characters I've grown to love.
Wonderfully narrated by David Gilmore. (as Always).
Just impatiently waiting for book 6 now. This whole series is going onto my reread/listen shelf.

Exceptional

I received a free code to listen to this book and I did so willingly

What can I say.... each book tends to be more awarding than the previous one. As soon as I thought that it can't better Christopher Cartwright surprises me with more twists and turns.

awesomeness overload

Another excellent book in this amazing series

Another excellent book in this great suspenseful, mystery, adventure series. Bringing in real historical events into fictional events. Just like the previous book it starts off with an historical mystery, then switches to the present day to solve the mystery. This book could have spent more time of the story focusing on the protagonists, maybe focusing a few more chapters on why he believed what he did. Sam Reilly continues to be indestructible and a womanizer, like a mix between Indiana Jones and James Bond, making this a fun book series. The writing is very descriptive, brings in real products and items and locations into the story. This book doesn't require you listen to the previous books in the series to enjoy it. Narration continues to be great, voices are very distinguishable and is very engaging.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Riveting!

Well-written! Held my attention throughout!

David Gilmore did an excellent job narrating. He kept the pace going.
