The Last Airship is the first book in the Sam Reilly series. The story begins in 1939 when a secret airship departs Germany in the middle of the night. The airship is filled with some of the most influential people and each of them are crying their most valuable items including one person carrying an item that was very dangerous. However, the ship never reached its destination and has been lost ever since. Until now, =when Sam Reilly discovers a clue about the ship which sends him on a treasure hunt to find it. He’s not the only one looking though as there are other, ruthless men on the hunt for it.
Another great book in the series is called Alexander’s Treasure. The title refers to Alexander the Great, one of the greatest military leaders of all time, and the great treasure he accumulated through his battles won. The legend says that he had gold minted with his likeness, but they have never been found in all the years since. However, that won’t stop Sam and Tom from hunting them down.

Many thanks for listing this author’s books. I first found him when reading another of his series not currently listed. It started with ‘Cartwright’s Cavaliers’ and was so riveting with such exciting plotting that it kept me through several more in that series. I just read ‘The Holy Grail’ not realizing it was part of the Sam Reilly group. I can firmly state that it was easily read as a stand alone without prior knowledge of his Sam Reilly series. His writing is so fast paced that I find reading him which is outside my usual genre a pleasure.
Is each book in the Sam Reilly series (by Christopher Cartwright) a stand-alone? Or is it helpful, but not necessary, to read them in order?
As a side issue, I would like to give you a hearty hug to say thank you for your wonderful sites. I use them constantly and have benefitted repeatedly from them. (Don’t worry, even with my vaccine I will not soon be appearing on your doorstep with out-stretched arms. Pretend we Zoomed!)
Thanks for everything,
Pamela A.
Hi Pamela
First just to clarify – when a comment is posted, it is held in moderation. I then have to go in and manually approve the comment. So it won’t display on the website until it is manually approved. That is to prevent spammers, negative comments, spoiler comments etc.
Thank you for the feedback that is so much appreciated.
I haven’t read the series so can’t personally comment but from what I have gathered from looking around – reading them as standalone will be fine.
