Iceberg

That Clive Cussler is the greatest homophobic, perverse, women loathing writer of our time

dirk pitt books are my guilty pleasure; terribly written, totally unbelievable, but non-stop action. This however pushes me over the edge. A totally nonsense, aimless story, even for me the blatant sexism and homophobia (dirk pitt spends half the book pretending to be gay by mincing around in Danny

A Soviet submarine is frozen in an iceberg. Dirk Pitt and cronies race against time to explore the sub before the Russians can get to it.

So far I have not found even one Cussler book I haven't liked. Just perfect for any grown up fan of the Hardy Boys, with a hero that's a hint of James Bond (action, adventure, exotic locations, good food and drinks and women) and with a lot of science all over.
