Sinossi
In una vita sul mare con la NUMA, Kurt Austin ne ha viste tante, ma lo spettacolo che gli si presenta al largo delle Azzorre ha davvero dell’incredibile. La Kinjara Maru, un cargo giapponese, ha subito un attacco di pirati, che invece di depredarla e prenderne possesso, come accade di solito, le hanno dato fuoco e l’hanno affondata, lasciando solo una sopravvissuta: la moglie del capitano, che non ricorda nulla del terribile assalto. Solo una sensazione di stordimento, e poi la violenza dell’incursione a bordo di un manipolo di uomini incappucciati, dalle cui sevizie l’ha salvata solo l’intervento di Austin e dei suoi uomini. Perché tanta brutale ferocia? Che cosa trasportava quel cargo che non doveva arrivare a destinazione? L’anomalo attacco dei pirati è solo il primo tassello di un complicato puzzle che Kurt Austin, Dirk Pitt e i loro compagni dovranno completare se vogliono scongiurare una terribile minaccia che incombe sul mondo intero. Una minaccia che ha le sue origini in Africa, dove un feroce dittatore intende tenere in scacco le maggiori nazioni del mondo attraverso la creazione di una potentissima arma di distruzione di massa, con la quale è pronto a colpire le principali capitali mondiali. Un’arma alla quale manca solo un ultimo, determinante elemento… Per gli eroi della NUMA la sfida, questa volta, sembra proprio impossibile.

Since Clive sold his name, and now sits back and lets others write his schlock, I am done with him. Sorry Clive. You made good money when you wrote, now you are fooling people with your crap. Look at the cover. Almost legal 'small print' for the actual writer. Buh Bye
4.5 Stars for Devils Gate: NUMA Files #9 (audiobook) by Clive Cussler and Graham Brown read by Scott Brick. Another great Kurt Austin adventure. This was a fun story to listen to. Scott Brick’s narration is great.
OK, like my friend Louise says, you always know what you are getting with a Clive Cussler book. I started reading about Dirk Pitt many years ago on a recommendation from Brent Erickson. I have been a fan every since and look forward to each and every book in any of the series. Like I started out. .
I have nothing bad to say about this thriller. It is my first book by Clive Cussler and it is fabulous - with interesting and kind of original plot, charming heroes, very, very bad villains, interesting popular science and lots and lots of action. It reminds me very much of the Sigma Force series by Leggi tutto
Clive Cussler has always written fast-paced, interesting thrillers, and he is one of a handful of authors in the action/adventure genre who I really never tire of reading. Somehow, he manages to keep his novels fresh even as he uses the same formula time and again (a historical incident involving ba Leggi tutto
A Japanese cargo ship cruises the eastern Atlantic near the Azores- when it bursts into flames. A gang of pirates speeds to take advantage of the disaster-when their boat explodes.

The NUMA file novels were never amazing but they've always been fun, even when Kemprecos had worn out his welcome with non stop similes and metaphors. Brown coming in to replace him was a welcome change, upping the ante with Austin and Zavala, as well as making this spin off series a small bit darker Leggi tutto
This started out as an intriguingly good book and had my interest in the beginning and middle of the action-packed story; yet, then it finished like every other stock action movie. Predictable. I was enjoying envisioning the character Kurt Austin as Eric Dane the actor, that peeked my focus. Honestl Leggi tutto
