Summary
In the Pacific Ocean a Silicon Valley magnate vacationing on his luxury motor yacht Carpe Diem stumbles across a floating island of pumice. Two weeks later, their motor yacht returns to its home port in San Diego on autopilot - but when it arrives, nobody gets off.
Sam Reilly and his team are called in to investigate what happened on board Carpe Diem. But what at first appears to be a simple boating accident soon turns into a deadly game of international intrigue - sending America and Russia racing toward each other on an unavoidable collision course.

Master Builders, Amelia Earhart & A Lost People.
We are taken to Amelia Earhart, tour an undersea habitat created by the Master Builders and meet a people who don't know the world beyond their habitat. All is in great peril unless Sam Reilly and his intrepid team can't fend off the bad guys. This is fast paced action with lots of imagination, mystery and intrigue carefully and expertly mixed in. The writing is excellent and brought to life with first rate narration. A great listen.

Enjoyable story but ending felt a little rushed
Book 15 is an odd place to join a series, but surprisingly enough I didn't feel like it was too much of an issue, I probably missed some of the background stuff, but other than that, it worked perfectly fine as a standalone book.
While predominantly a thriller, there are some scifi/fantasy trappings with elements such as the 8th continent and the mix works well for this story. While the plot is interesting, the real strength of the book for me were the characters, particularly Sam and his team as they felt as well-rounded and realised as you would expect from book 15 in a series. One slight issue I had with the book is that ending felt a little abrupt and didn't quite fit with the pacing of the rest of the book.
Without checking, I do not know if this narrator has done all of the previous books in this series, but if I had to hazard a guess I would think that he had because his performance comes across as somebody who is comfortable with these characters and his narration helped to enhance my experience of the book quite nicely.
Overall, this was an enjoyable listen and a good introduction to this series and I will definitely consider others in the future.

A well crafted and captivating book!
Sam Reilly is cool. A great character surrounded by solid characters who to be honest feel as much as lead characters as Sam himself. Like the round table he meets his team round the author seems to know that Sam needs to be complimented by well written friends/colleagues. All the characters have depth and at this point in the series you really engage with them all.
I love the idea of the 8th Continent and it works well in the book, like all the authors ideas. I'm avoiding spoilers.
All of Christopher Cartwright's books are clever, well researched with historical references, action packed and have a great sense of pace. Equally the narrator is always excellent and helps to immerse me into the story. This book is no exception. Simply excellent from start to finish.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

More exciting adventures down under the water
This book felt a little different to the other Sam Reilly books I have listened to. This book although being the usual adventure thriller for Sam and his team also delves into a sci-fi/fantasy arena so you have to expand your belief a bit more. As with all of these books they feel like an old style Indiana Jones type adventure story but underwater and I love how developed all the characters were and the way the author describes the underwater adventure makes me want to get my diving gear on and start exploring ships wrecks and caves (if only I was brave enough). Mind you I would not go along with Sam as he always gets himself into to danger.
