About this listen
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.

Another great action adventure for Sam
I was provided with a free copy of this audiobook in return for an honest review.
I can't believe I now have to wait to find out what happens next. I haven't looked yet, but I hope book six is already out, or due out soon because I want more of Sam's adventures.
This book is as good as the first four. The idea behind the story is creepy in that you actually believe it is possible for the world to go that way. You have some sympathy for the bad guy at the beginning and by the end you have no idea who the bad guy is.
This is great if you enjoy the previous Sam Reilly novels, but you can listen to this one without the others. It is a brilliantly thought out idea and the action are of the usual calibre for the Sam Reilly novels.
The thing that sets this one apart for me, in a good way, I'm glad to say, it's that this one has more mystery in it. You know from the prologue that there is a particular thing Sam should be looking for, but you have no idea how that connects with the events and the people that he meets. Intriguing and very twisty, I think this is the best one so far.
Please keep them coming, I'm looking forward to learning what Sam does next.

A series similar to old style Adventure Novels
I love these books.
To me, the style these books are written in is reminiscent of the old style adventure novelists like H. Rider Haggard - who wrote King Solomons Mines and its sequel plus many other novels.
The author kindly gave me a free copy of book three and I was only halfway through listening to it when I knew I had to stop and read the first two before I finished it and was very happy to find this compilation.
If you want an adventure story that is just that without the gory bits that often are added to modern novels just to colour it but don't actually add to the story.
I have now listened to all six available on Audible and am sad the rest of the series so far is not available via Audible. I hope they read this review and consider adding them as listening via Kindle is just not the same.

Cassidy project strikes gold
Another good yarn as Sam Reilly once again solves dastardly deeds and plottings to end the world as we know it.

Sam is your man
So book 5 of the Sam Reilly series and we are now reliving into hydroncolliders and electromagnetic pulses that take out electricity. When Sam and his team find a cruise ship in the middle of Antarctica with only one passenger left aboard they put their lives on the line again to find out what is going on and why this woman seems to be the only person left behind. Surely it can’t be a coincidence who she is. As with all of these books we see Sam and his team risk life and limb to get to the bottom of what is going on and the adventure does not stop. This is what Indian Jones should be like.

History, Conspiracy, Mystery, Adventure & Action.
This was a fascinating, fast paced, listen. I loved the technical aspect of using an Electro Magnetic Pulse as a weapon, adding in an agreement between the superpowers and a bunch of rogue scientists. The plot was full of twists and turns with action a plenty. Very good narration and excellent writing made for a great listening experience.
