There seemed to be less action than in past stories and it got bogged down in the middle with all the archeology background. Usually, Cussler's books are difficult to put down. I fell asleep while reading on many nights while trying to get through this story. The ending also seemed rushed - everything was answered and cleaned up within the last two chapters. I'll take a break from Cussler and get my adrenalin flowing elsewhere. ( ) Sorry, [a:Clive Cussler|18411|Clive Cussler|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1225620641p2/18411.jpg], maar dit is een van de slechtste, zo niet het slechtste boek dat ik ooit van je heb gelezen. Het plot van het boek is goed, daar niet van. Misschien ligt het aan het feit dat Clive nieuwe hoofdrolspelers moest schrijven, (Kurt, Joe, Gamay en Paul), maar het verhaal loopt traag. Het einde van het boek was niet geweldig, en nog steeds weet ik niet waar het verhaal precies over ging. I have read all of Cussler's books thus far and have enjoyed each and every one. At the beginning of this one, I was a bit wary because his usual characters (Pitt, Rudy, and Al) were not the main stars. However, I feel that the new guys (and gal) have proved themselves well. The historical information is great and was woven into an interesting and plausible story. One can believe that people like Halcon do exist and ARE in power. I always enjoy the tight spots the hero gets into and the ingenious ways they escape. no reviews | add a review
Is abridged in
"When Kurt Austin, the leader of a courageous National Underwater & Marine Agency exploration team, rescues beautiful marine archaeologist Nina Kirov off the coast of Morocco, he becomes the next target of Texas industrialist Don Halcon, a madman bent on carving a new nation out of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Halcon's scheme hinges on Nina's recent discovery involving Christopher Columbus and a priceless pre-Columbian artifact buries in the battered remains of the sunken Italian luxury liner Andrea Doria. Only Kurt Austin and his crack NUMA team stand between Halcon and the Andrea Doria's silent steel hull--and if their deadly mission fails, Halcon will ride to power on a wave of death and destruction."--Page 4 of cover.
