The Rising Sea

A fun (and fast) read, but as the seemingly indestructible characters get involved in one improbable scenario after another, it all gets a little tiring and is not a satisfying read. The idea behind the novel is interesting - sea level rise due to damage from a mining operation - nevertheless this doesn't really save the whole thing from a rather low rating from me.

Another NUMA Kurt Austin story that lives up to the standard. A bit of history, a lot of adventure - sometimes stepping into the unbelievable - and in this one, a good serve of science fiction. This story included some international diplomacy as well.

At times, and perhaps due to it's setting, it reminded me of Ian Fleming's "You Only Live Twice" (the novel, not the movie).

Sadly for various reasons this novel took me around 6 months to read in stages and I think I would have enjoyed it more if I could have read it in a shorter time span without the enforced breaks.

I really enjoy Clive Cussler's format. Historical intro then moves to present day and great adventure along the way. But in the last three books I've read (one was Oregon Files series) are all situated in this same region; the Pacific area. Can we move the story to somewhere else please.

The Rising Sea. Clive Cussler. On every other page a miracle is performed against all odds. By page 320 it’s getting a bit too much.

The Rising Sea is another NUMA adventure. Once again authors Clive Cussler and Graham Brown have thoroughly researched the rising tides of the sea and Japanese Samurai sword history. The book was very well written. Because it is a captivating story this book receives five stars for this review.

While an enjoyable read, as are all of Clive Cussler's novels; this was along the same lines as many of his other collaboration books. Wolrd disaster unless NUMA saves the day. Of all his novels, I prefer the Dirk Pitt novels. They had class and style with the old fashioned Errol Flynn style about them.

A Kurt Austin adventure in which the NUMA crew investigates the rising oceans and find it is caused by a secret undersea Chinese mining operation. A good, well done adventure.
