Tjhe book had a nice plot but turned bazar at then end.
Fast paced story with vivid characters and lots of plot twists. Plenty of action, some not really plausible but still fun.
Adventurous, page-turner book with exceptional characters. After reading this book, I am on my 10th book in the series. Easy, fast paste book with personable, likable characters. Highly recommend
Love all of Cartwright’s books!!!
The Last Airship, my fourth read from author Christopher Cartwright. Well-written and captivating with well-developed main characters reminding one of Dan Brown’s writing as well as the character of Indiana Jones. It’s hard coming into a series in the middle, books #4, #5 & #6 I’d obviously missed much so I went back to the beginning. I’ll be reading more by this author as I own several more books in the series! (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 – July 24, 2018).
Brilliant book.
This may sound strange in a review, but I thought I had read this some time ago but couldn’t remember the whole story.
I got to 33% and it all came flooding back.
Outstanding adventure book . Plenty of action and excitement. Shame I haven’t got book 2 and don’t to KU.
No matter. This book i thoroughly recommend.
This is the first book in the Sam Reilly Series. This is a great start to this Series. The storyline is suspenseful and captivating. David Gilmore did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed it. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, The Mahogany Ship.
An informative presentation of a missing niche of European war history!
Awesome!
A Great Escape
A deadly virus is created by one of Hitler’s scientists, but his boss steals the formula and flees Germany–and disappears in a dirigible. Fast forward 75 years and the search is still on in this thriller. Lots of action and an engrossing story, well narrated by David Gilmore.
Very good read. Lots of action and interesting characters. Believable story line and lots twists throughout.
Thoroughly enjoyed this scifi/adventure trilogy. This is classic Clive Cussler/Dirk Pitt in plot, structure, tone and even character personalities. It a great adventure oozing with well-paced action and cliff hangers. I recommend it.
Action packed combined action with a bit of geography
The Last Airship
Sam Reilly, Book 1
By: Christopher Cartwright
Narrated by: David Gilmore
This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary.
I love this kind of book! Something lost for the past, holds a secret, others are after it…. so exciting! I have another of this author’s books and it got me hooked, like a Lay’s potato chip, lol. It is full of action, adventure, mystery, and intrigue. You’ll have to read it to see if they find what they are looking for without getting too many bullet holes in them!
The narrator was great, kept the action and emotions flowing well!
I’ve read every book in this series. Lighthearted fast FUN. I love the fact the woman is always the heroine in the story. Love the male bonding of the two friends Matthew and Tom. Love how they are both actual good guys going around the world and saving the day!
A great piece of historical fiction and a fascinating story.
A real thriller. Sam Reilly takes you on a breathless adventure searching for a great treasure and the most dangerous cargo the world has never seen! If you like Clive Cussler, you’ll love Christopher Cartwright.
Not a bad novel for an entertaining read!
Great book.
