Sam Reilly #10
The Ironclad Covenant
On May 18th, 1863 – the day the siege of the Confederate stronghold at Vicksburg began – a secret war chest was removed by an ironclad and taken away along the Mississippi River.
It contained a Covenant capable of altering the entire course of the Civil War. Its destination was Washington, D.C.
A place it never reached.
In the present day, Minnesotan senator Arthur Perry has enlisted the help of Sam Reilly to track down his son, who went missing while following a strange lead in the centuries old search for the fabled Meskwaki Gold Spring within Lake Superior.
No one could have suspected that these two events, separated by more than 150 years, were inextricably linked....

The Ironclad Covenant
A Sam Reilly Novel
By: Christopher Cartwright
Narrated by: David Gilmore
This is an Audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. This book is another great story! Treasure hunting for civil war money! You will never guess where it ends up! Lol! This has so many twists and turns and I was wondering how in the world and of this was connected but slowly and carefully the author teases pieces together to give just a glance at the picture. He does this through out the book building up suspense. Meanwhile there are bad guys after Sam and others! Great escape tricks too! Loved it! Eat your heart out Indiana Jones!
The narration was excellent as usual! Thanks!

This is the 10th book in my Sam Reilly series, and I think I've enjoyed writing this one the most out of all my stories so far.
It can be read as a stand alone novel too, so you don't need to have read the other ones to enjoy it :-)

I like interesting “historical” archeological treasure hunting novels, although I rarely pick them up. I’m not sure how factual any of the weather elements, shipbuilding information or technology is, but it was good.
The pacing and story telling, however, wasn’t quite as fluid as I’d expect for the tenth book in the series.
The characters don’t grow nor did they grow on me. Sam, having unlimited access and resources to anything and anyone known in the world, really didn’t add value nor depth to the story. Who needs super human powers if the world is at your beck and call? He sure doesn’t. This also decreased a sense of climatic action or a complex plot or story line.
A formulaic listen in which it doesn’t induce thinking and concentration - and sans clues to try to figure out anything.
The narrator reads well and production quality is worthy.
It wasn’t bad; it was entertaining and I’d gladly listen and review more in this series. It’s good to have something to listen to when multitasking!

I loved this book. I grew up on the shores of Lake Superior and know the author got everything right. The plot is most imaginative and brings in aspects of history all the way back to the civil war. It has Confederate Gold, bootleggers, organized crime and crooked cops and politicians. The book interfered with my life because I couldn't wait to find out more. I have enjoyed other Sam Reilly books, but this is definitely the best.

5/18/1863, Natchez, MI. CSS Mississippi (5-gun, 2 120-lb. Blakely 7.5” rifles, 2 68-lb. smoothbore muzzle-loading guns). William Chestnut (narrator, former ship engineer) was secure in hand/leg irons.
Commander Baker had Marshal Reynolds (provost) read the arrest warrant to William.
Robert Murphy (Irish prisoner) had plans to lead a mutiny with the help of the 6 prisoners to be hanged in Vicksburg, MI.
There mission now is to keep the covenant safe in a secret locked war chest, & somehow/someway
deliver it by way of the Allegheny River to Washington DC.
Lake Superior, MN. Sam Reilly (retired USN), & Tom Bower were greeted by Walter (50+ estate mgr.).
They were introduced to Senator Arthur Perry (MN, widower, Lawyer, Stanford, JD).
David Perry (son) had disappeared 3 wks. ago.
The sunken J.F. Johnson (251’ steel Tramp-Steamer cargo vessel, triple-expansion steam engine) is in 205’ of Lake Superior water.
There are 4 bodies floating forever in the main bridge.
Someone had left their calling card on the ship.
Senator Perry had dinner for Sam, & Tom when they resurfaced.
Superior Deep (Beneteau luxurious motor yacht). Sam, & Tom spoke with Mark Smith (diver, sales/tours operator). David had filled his tanks & dove quite frequently in that area.
Manhattan, NYC., Virginia “Ginny” Beaumont (paramedic, former CIA CIS, retired USN med/evac), & Anton Mercia (Virginia’s partner, paramedic) just made an urgent call.
After looking at the video tapes someone had sent Virginia some flowers & a card.
Lake Superior, MN. The Anabelle May was headed toward Isle Royale.
1931, Jack Holman explorer/seaplane pilot) plane had went down as he was trying to find the Meskwaki Gold Spring.

What did reveal Yago (93) to Tom, & Sam?
The next venture for Tom, & Sam is to find Jack’s wreckage.
The plane’s interior had been gutted.
There was no journal.
When the day was done a stranger came by to speak with Tom, Sam, & Virginia.
Low/behold it was David Perry.
Next stop Tom, Sam, Virginia, & David Minot, ND.
I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. Wow, a very well written historical fiction dual timeline book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a huge set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great adventure movie, or better yet a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.

Overall I think it was a good story, though I had some issues with it. The pacing was fine, and the concept of a Civil War ironclad lost in an out of the way/unexpected place hiding a huge secret is quite workable (even if not totally original - see Sahara as probably the most famous example). Cartwright seems to have taken up the mantel of Clive Cussler and Alistair MacLean with interesting adventure stories. In this case the action was quick though not constant. The geography was somewhat different in that North Dakota doesn't often get mentioned, let alone be the setting for a good portion of a novel (see more below).
Sam Reilly is really the only character that seemed well developed. Tom and Ginny both had interesting concepts and hints at a fuller background, but they just didn't get expressed in this novel. I'm curious to read other entries in this series.
The issues I had with this story are mostly personal issues that most readers probably won't have. The biggest one I had that wasn't personal was about the description of how the ironclad appeared in the stories about Holman versus how it appeared when they actually found it. It didn't match. The next biggest one was there were just too many coincidences. I can buy a few, but this seemed excessive.
The personal issues I had that kept throwing me out of the it were mostly centered around the geography. I grew up in Minot, ND. My maternal grandparents lived in Beulah when I was a kid. I spent much of my childhood camping and fishing in western ND so I'm fairly well acquainted with the areas described in the novel. The reality and the descriptions don't have much overlap. I described in more detail of this in a blogpost https://westfargomusings.wordpress.co... And with the characters hiking out of the wilderness it would be almost impossible to go more than two miles without running into a road and thus other people, especially since the oil-boom that kicked off around 2008. North Dakota might be sparsely populated compared to other places, but it isn't devoid of people.
The AudioBook was formatted well with no obvious problems with playback. The issue with the narrator is my own, not a problem with the formatting.
Another personal issue I had was with the narrator. It wasn't so much the sound of his voice, as it was the cadence he used and the accents he used to differentiate the characters.

This book starts with a bang! During the middle of the Civil War the Confederates are shipping some prisoners on an ironclad up the Mississippi to be hanged. Most of them are simple deserters. One had done something apparently so dastardly that he is despised by all the Confederate officers. During a Union assault on the ship, the prisoners escape and take over. Lots of hints are dropped about what the dastardly act could be—evidently something that could have ended the war—but we don't find out exactly what it is until the end of the book.
Time moves forward to the present day where Sam Reilly and his friend, Tom, are being asked to dive on an infamous shipwreck in Lake Superior to try to find evidence regarding the son of a senator. This leads to the discovery of a message that clearly terrifies the senator even as it perplexes Sam and Tom. The senator tries to call off their search and leaves for New York. But Sam and Tom are too interested to stop.
Meanwhile, in NYC a paramedic comes across the senator who has just had a heart attack. (Or has he?) And then in an apparently unconnected event (no reader will believe they are unconnected) she comes across an apparently dead drug user who has a duffel bag full of cash which she, on impulse, steals so that she can fund experimental cancer treatments for her father.
Then things get really crazy. There's an attempt to murder the paramedic and her father is kidnapped—events that lead her to seek the help of Sam Reilly. The bad guys want the ironclad (which they believe has gold in it) and the archaeological treasure hunt (which is the center of all the books in this series) is on.
The Ironclad Covenant is fast paced, full of action, and has a really good mystery at its heart—the "dastardly deed" that could have ended the Civil War years before 1865.

Following a Cussler format, this tale opens on the Mississippi River in 1863 where a Confederate ironclad war ship is making its way north to Vicksburg with a secret chest from the Confederate treasury and a group of prisoners heading to be hanged in Vicksburg for deserting. The story then jumps to the present day where we find Sam Reilly and his friend Tom are meeting with Minnesotan senator Arthur Perry who is hiring them to find his missing son. Meanwhile in NY Paramedic Virginia
Beaumont responds to several emergency calls and the last one gets her into trouble. She meets up with Sam, and old friend from the Afghanistan wars and she ends up joining Sam and Tom in the search for the son and the search for missing Confederate gold. A good Action/Adventure tale and I will be on the look for more Sam Reilly tales in the future.

I can't believe the author has been on the North Shore of Lake Superior. A house not on one of the North Shore cliffs just twenty feet from shore? Not likely with waves big enough to sink 900 foot ore carriers. And it's built of "HARD-WOOD conifers – pine, fir and spruce"? Please look up the definition of HARDWOOD (not "hard-wood").
The helicopter touched down on the shore? Within the twenty feet distance between the shore and the house? Quite a skilled pilot!
Local divers have ventured to the depth of the wreck of the J.F. Johnson and described bodies preserved by the cold but "no one’s dived on her since she sank"?
Regarding Lake Superior; "Of the five Great Lakes, she’s the only one that’s composed entirely of freshwater" - You mean Lakes Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario are either saltwater or brackish?
Tell me it gets better!

Though there are many things to love about this story, what personally drew me in the most were the inspiring and uplifting relationships that Cartwright created. Of course, the undercover missions and inherent threat of danger that existed at the time kept me eagerly turning the pages, but watching the development of authentic friendships and hopeful romances unfurling against the backdrop of war and devastation is what ultimately won my heart. Though the story is set between the civil war one hundred and sixty years ago, prohibition almost a hundred years ago and today and under different circumstances, I found a strong sense of connection with Sam’s resilience and the theme that if we can come together in times of need and lift each other up, anything is possible.

The Ironclad Covenant, my tenth read from author Christopher Cartwright & the tenth book in the highly entertaining Sam Reilly series. A well-written thriller with captivating & well-developed main characters. Reminds me of Dan Brown’s early writing as well as the character of Indiana Jones. Since I live in northern Michigan & am employed by Beneteau North America the setting & some aspects of the book had particular appeal to me. I’ll be reading more by this author as I already own more books in the series! (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

THE IRONCLAD COVENANT is a terrifically engrossing and exciting historical adventure which kept me riveted from Page One to the end. I've always found the American Civil War a fascinating subject in all its ramifications, and to get a close-up look, plus an incredible mystery, plus deep characterizations and extraordinary imagery, make for a completely riveting story, both in the historical era and in the subsequent contemporary adventure.

One of the Best!
With a backstory that moves from the Civil War through Prohibition era to modern day political corruption in NYC to a national scope with US senators, this one will grab you and never let you go. As always, Sam and Tom come through in the end, helped along by very deep pockets and friends in high places, but not without leaving you wondering quite how it can all work out. A definite action/adventure for the diehard fan!

Overall this was an entertaining, true to form, San Reilly novel. I felt like it was a bit hurried in parts and drug in others, but I enjoyed the story. Once again I was able to learn, through Cartwright’s in depth research, about a new place and period of history. I’m eagerly awaiting the next installment of the master builders!
July 24, 2019
A well done adventure novel that manages to stick out among its peers. I loved how Cartwright blended history and modernity to create a suspenseful read. Or maybe it's because I've read a lot about the Civil War recently. I listened to the audiobook, and found the narrator to be excellent.

I really love the Sam Reilly novels. In this one Minnesotan senator Arthur Perry has enlisted the help of Sam Reilly to track down his son. It ties in the Confederate Gold loaded onto an ironclad in Vicksburg during the Civil War to the story of locating the son. I really love it when history is tied into a story like this, shades of Clive Custer! Well written and lots of action.

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
So Sam and Tom are back doing what they do best and this book was one of my favourite over the last few stories as this is not a traditional treasure hunt as we have a race against time to find secret war chest in order to help out an old friend who’s got herself into a bit of trouble with some dangerous people when trying to save her fathers life

It made a nice change to get away from the big story arc: this is an interlude, back to the formula of treasure hunts and conspiracies. A fun, easy read. I just wish he'd spend less time trying to dazzle me with the technical details of the equipment, especially when he gets it wrong. (It's Blohm und Voss, not Blohn und Voss, for example, and these days it's generally called Blohm+Voss.)
December 29, 2020
Another twisty turning plot that runs at full pace until we all drop with exhaustion at the end. We have Confederate gold, sunken ships, political machinations, car chases and an actual treasure map.
The Sam Reilly books are a long series, and many of them are linked. This particular one is a “stand alone” with no links to previous stories. Although the ending leads you to the next book in the series.

CONFEDERATE GOLD
This is an interesting storyline about the missing gold of the confederacy, but there are so many sidetracks to the main objective (the missing treasure) that it’s challenging to keep track of everything… Overall, it’s a typical Christopher Cartwright novel; fast paced and filled with adventure.

Oh the great historical "what if" question!
Mr. Cartwright has a great mind for not only posing such a what if question, but for sussing out a probable modern scenario in which such a question might be investigated.
Fun action adventure. No sex or language. Minimal violence. PG13. Themes include treason, organized crime, assassination.

Another fast paced adventure with Sam Rielly and gang! These are very good stories.David Gilmore is a great narator.I was given this book by the narrator,author or publisher free for an honest review.

Better with time, like the Rum.
Cartwright gets better with each installment. Sam Reilly gained some further personality development. The addition of Virginia Beaumont could be great to plot the direction of this continuous story.
