Lost Passage

The Alaska Thrillers #4

by Andrew Cunningham

In 1935, an unknown scientist submits a groundbreaking paper to a scientific publication claiming to have discovered a hidden valley in Alaska. It is a find that could change history. His work is dismissed as fiction, and soon after, he vanishes without a trace.

Ninety years later, Bush pilot Scott Harper finds a half-frozen stranger who has collapsed in the snow outside his home. The man relates a strange tale of a legendary lost valley near an abandoned Alaskan mining town and asks for Scott’s help finding it. The town holds chilling memories for Scott and is one he and his family vowed never to return to. However, there are others desperate to find the valley and are determined to kill anyone who gets in the way.

Now, there’s only one chance for survival. They must return to the town, find the valley, and uncover its secrets before the killers do.

Lost Passage is a pulse-pounding thriller of survival, discovery, and the secrets buried beneath the Alaskan wilderness.

Lost passage

Interesting story. Interesting. But it ended rather fast. Other than that, I enjoyed it. The story was wrapped up but that rest of the story went into a lot of detail, but the end just ended suddenly.

What an adventure!

Once I started Lost Passage, I could not put it down and read it in one sitting.
I loved being reunited with all of my favorite characters in this tension-filled, wholly unexpected, and unique adventure; I loved the subtle bits of humor, the intertwining histories, and the heart-pounding escapes. And, of course, I loved that aha! moment when the title makes sense. An excellent entry in The Alaska Thrillers Series! Highly recommend!

last passage book4

I really enjoyed reading this book from Andrew Cunningham. I didn’t realize I was at the last book I believe so I will have to go back and meet the other three a lot of times I work my way back but an excellent read. I like the humor in it. nice book to curl up withby a fire with some coffee or tea. Enjoy.

Lost Passage

In the 4th book in the Alaska Thrillers series, the cobbled together family find themselves pulled in a direction that 3 of 4 have no desire to travel.
Wisdom Springs holds nothing but bad memories, but in spite of that, the potential for an important scientific discovery sways them into action once again.
You'll be glued to this one until the danger is passed!

Spellbinding series

Such an enthralling series. Characters are likable and the stories exciting. The author weaves a great tale of adventure that is well worth reading. Read the first in the series and you’ll be hooked! Highly recommend.

This is a great series

The series keeps you interested from the very beginning and keeps you there until the end. Alaska life is an adventure by itself. The story line is always good.

Page turner

Fast read because of the authors ability to keep the reader engaged. Although it could have gone off the rails of sci-fi most was factually covered convincing the reader that it could be true

A great series

What a enjoyable series. I lived in Alaska for a few years and that made the book more interesting. The author really made the characters real Nd the relationships believable.

great book

Keep them coming enjoyed the book a great deal. Hope the series continues. Please keep all the characters in the next book

[Richie Schimkus · Rating 3 out of 5]

Generally entertaining and moved fairly quickly. Most of the characters really didn't have much to do as the story progressed and the ending felt rushed.

[Debbi Baldauff · Rating 4 out of 5]

Who doesn’t want to read about Alaska? I sure do! I enjoyed this mostly believable book 😊. Wait till you find out what they found in the mountains! I think Max is my favorite character.

[Anthony · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well the reason I didn't rate it so high is beacaese it was too imature really and overly blood thisthy, but perhap I will read some more of his workks to see if they are any better.

This was a great series of books, I read them pretty fast- Some books I listen to and some I read- I enjoyed reading this very much.

[Kathryn Samec · Rating 5 out of 5]

An interesting and fun story. perhaps true?

I enjoyed this book. It moves along well in spite of not reading the prior books.
Now to go back and catch up with 1-3.

[Lynn Bills · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am really sorry this series ended. I want more !!!

[Jerry Mount · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another Exciting Story in the Author's Alaska series. It's in the same Location, with the same key characters. Again, we have mystery, history, much action and violence. It's a short book, fast paced with little fluff. It's much like the previous books in the series. It's not great literature, but a fast, easy to digest action story.

[Diana Anderson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Had not read the previous 3 books. However, even without the other books, it was easy read and quite enjoyable. It was quite suspenseful as the search for the lost passage became dangerous and deadly.
Liked the people and their interactions.
