Sinossi
Agosto 1945: un bombardiere americano sta volando verso il Giappone. Un solitario caccia nipponico lo intercetta e lo abbatte. L'aereo si inabissa nel Pacifico e con esso il suo carico micidiale... Ottobre 1993: il Giappone, risorto dalle ceneri della sconfitta, è diventato la più grande potenza economica mondiale. Ma un'organizzazione clandestina di finanzieri cerca vendetta, vuole il potere assoluto sul mondo occidentale, ed è disposta a terrorizzare e a uccidere, usando la stessa arma dell'antico "nemico": la bomba atomica. Lo scontro tra potenze si trasforma in un duello senza tregua tra spie, sicari e moderni samurai. Pochi uomini sono in grado di affrontare una simile sfida, da cui può dipendere la libertà del mondo intero. Pochi uomini, anzi uno solo: Dirk Pitt.

This is the same comment for all the Dirk Pitt books: Great set of books, I had to stagger these books into my reading rotation since they are so similar. Dirk Series Book in less then 50 words.

Ahhh, the good old days when Japan, Inc. was going to take over the world. In 1945, not just two, but more like five atomic bombs were sent to Japan, but only two actually made it to their ultimate goal. In more modern times, a Japanese billionaire megalomaniac has located one of these bombs and has Leggi tutto
Yet another great read by the late great Clive Cussler! He definitely knows how to spin an action/adventure yarn!
A somewhat longer book in this series, running to just over 600 pages in mass market paperback. Written in 1990 this one is a sort of push back against the Japanese trade dominance of that decade. All a bit unbelievable but good entertainment in the vein of a James Bond movie. This achieves one of m Leggi tutto
Pacific Ocean, 1993. A Norwegian vessel heading out to sea comes upon a seemingly abandoned Japanese Cargo ship. Before searching for the crew, they send a party aboard to check for anyone remaining on board, thinking to lay claim to the cargo. Slightly further along, a British vessel floats, the la Leggi tutto
I don't entirely agree with those that say the book was farfetched. In fact, I found the story to be well researched. But everyone wants to believe what they want to believe. Cussler's message in this book is uncomfortable. His message says Japan is not an ally, a friend or anywhere near. There are
In typical Clive Cussler / Dirk Pitt fashion the book opens with action and it doesn't slow down until the book is over. As usual, Dirk is the ideal hero. He can do no wrong, escapes every incredible situation, and saves the day. He's an action hero in typical Indiana Jones/John McClane/Jack Ryan/Ja Leggi tutto
Back in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the Cold War was winding down, you would sometimes see bumper stickers that said things like, "We're not going to be nuked by Russia. We're going to be evicted by Japan." That is the plot of this novel. Actually it also involves Japan nuking the US, or tryi Leggi tutto
