Excellent Opener to Cussler's Isaac Bell Series

Publisher's Summary
An ancient shipwreck. A 200-year-old mystery. A plague that's destroying all marine life. A pyramid half a mile below the sea. And a puzzle that must be solved before it destroys the human race.
On the 18th of February, 1812, the Emily Rose became shipwrecked on the southern coast of Australia. The survivors are forced to walk nearly 1,000 miles through the unexplored land to reach the only settlement, Sydney Cove.
Nearly 200 miles inland, they come across the remains of a monstrous ship, far bigger than anything the British Navy had ever constructed. Through basic communication achieved with the natives, they learned that the ship had been there for a very long time...Maybe 1,000 years? Despite the details of the mysterious ship in the journals from the survivors of the Emily Rose, no evidence that the Mahogany Ship ever existed was found - until now.
Present day: A mining exploration in Australia takes a core sample 500 feet below the surface of a deserted mountain. The sample returns no evidence of gold deposits, but something much more valuable - a single Spanish Gold coin, dated 1518. Could the origins of this coin finally reveal the existence of the fabled Mahogany Ship?
At the same time, Sam Reilly and his team of ocean investigators are exploring the cause of a widespread death of sea life within the Gulf of Mexico. In a race against time to stop the irrevocable destruction of the world's marine life, the two mysteries may just be entangled, and failure to solve them both will result in the greatest threat to ever face the human race.

Mystery From Oz
'The Mahogany Ship' was a successful second book in the Sam Reilly series. This story is an Indiana Jones type historical thriller in that the action taking place in present day is very closely tied to what happened one hundred years ago in the same location. A complicated and juicy mystery, 'The Mahogany Ship' is a satisfying Clive Cussler type novel that delivers lots of action, compelling characters and treasures you will want to see uncovered. David Gilmore brings the story to life and gives a good narrative performance.

This book is a standalone listen and part of a series. I really enjoyed this book with all of its twists. I loved the historical element in the story as well. David Gilmore did a great job with performing the various characters in this book. The imagery was great too! I requested this review copy audiobook and have voluntarily written this review. I will definitely listen to more books by this author and narrator. Without giving away spoilers, I loved the ending in this book. Kudos to Christopher Cartwright for such a great story and creating Sam Reilly.

Book 2 of the Sam Reilly series
To be honest, I was a bit concerned when I looked at reviews of this book before I bought it. Several reviewers were rather hard on it, saying that the story was sub-par. After listening to the book, I can see some of those arguments might be valid, but I also saw the greater purpose behind this volume. Book one introduced us to the main players in the series and gave us a good indication of the type of adventure novels we could expect. Book two, while having it's own mystery and adventure, was primarily used as a setup for the rest of the series. Clues are liberally strewn throughout the book of future adventures and hints at greater antagonists for our heroes to face. Upon completion of this volume, I have to feel that the villain portrayed here was a rather vanilla bad guy with little to set him apart from any other bad guy in such stories.
The writing here, as a whole, was better and clearer than the first book. So all in all the series is improving in my estimation. I think I will go on to book three and see how it goes. You might like it too.
Bottom line: The series is about archeological mysteries with the main protagonist being a billionaire genius and his team of friends/employees. Think"a rich Indiana Jones". Likable if not exactly personally relatable.

The New Dirk Pitt
Cartwright continues to follow Clive Cussler’s Dirk Pit formula, linking an ancient mystery to a current problem. In this one he also throws in the Ancient Builders theory as well, and it is apparent that in future books we will continue to look for clues regarding these ancient builders. The plot is fast paced and a lot of fun, although I had to keep myself from examining things too closely lest my suspension of disbelief be broken. All in all, this was a fun novel.

What one gold ducat inspires!
This tale is full of multiple legends, myths, an oceanic catastrophe in the making, a Mayan pyramid where you wouldn’t expect one, and all linked to Sam Reilly’s favorite subject; the Master Builders. The story has Sam chasing clues from the Gulf of Mexico to Australia to China and back to the underground caverns of Australia. Cartwright mixes historical fiction with fantasy embellishment and I find his writing enjoyable and interesting. This story does have some abrupt about-faces regarding the current direction of the hunt but I take it in stride and enjoy the action.

Fun Adventure/Thriller
This is a really fun series, my only complaint is the bad language picks up and starts throwing out f-bombs pretty early in the book and I personally have a really hard time wanting to finish it at that point. The story itself is great, I just wish the language was cleaned up. This story is right in line with stories like Indiana Jones but with more history which I absolutely love. The narrator does a great job and was a lot of fun to listen to.

An unputdownable mystery adventure novel. The writer knows how to keep the listener intrigued and on the edge of their seat. The characters are all wonderfully drawn for us and complemented by an excellent narrator. The story is full of twists and turns packed with incident and a little humour.

I think I can see the light
The Gulf of Mexico was rapidly becoming a Dead Zone, the marine life dead or dying, and it threatened to spread through all the oceans. The source of contamination was the leakage of hydrogen cyanide, sometimes used in gold mining, apparently coming from an underwater tunnel. Multi millionaire and explorer, Sam Reilly and his friend and co-worker, Tom, dive to find the source of the leak and stop it and, in so doing, accidentally discover what appears to be a magnificent unknown Mayan temple and tomb. How had it come to be there, huge and with such incredibly detailed work, so far beneath the water? But before he has a chance to explore further, Sam is asked by another billionaire to join an expedition looking for the fabled Mahogony ship, an artifact Sam and his father had sought without success when he was a youth. Leaving the exploration of the temple to Tom, Sam sets out for Australia.
The book follows the ongoing stories of both explorations. Filled with visual descriptions of the sites and growing supposition of possible histories, the story is packed with excitements and near death scenarios. This reader would have preferred more concentration on the first found Mexican discovery, which seemed to hold far more mystery, but it is the search for the legendary ship which leads to the final, rather disappointing denouement. Easy to read, and very well narrated by David Gilmore, whose pleasant voice has nice pace and good intonation in addition to great individual character voicings, this was an enjoyable, if somewhat unbelievable book in it's latter stages.
My thanks to the rights holder of The Mahogony Ship for freely gifting me a complimentary copy, at my request, via Audiobook Boom. The exciting story combined with a fine performance by the narrator made this pseudo archaeological tale well worth reading by anyone who enjoys this genre.

History, myth and adventure, great combination
I received a free copy of this audiobook in return for an honest review.
I am a massive fan of Clive Cussler and Matthew Reilly and as such I enjoy the idea of myth and history combining together with a heavy dose of adventure. I am pleased to find that the author of this book is as skilled at the adventure side as he is at the history and myths.
As this is the second of the series there are a number of references made to the previous adventure Sam and his friends are in, including a live interest. However this does not impact the complex story, the characters or the thrills. I love the descriptions at the being of the novel and the introduction of the characters as if you had never met them before.
The narrator was good, fluent and did his best to differentiate between the sexes and the accents, but to be honest I was so hooked by the story that I barely noticed the voices. This is a good indicator of a great narrator for me, one that doesn't impose on the story but enhances it.
I've already looked to see if there is another book, which is promised at the end of this story and I look forward to listening to it soon.
