The Seventh Dirk Pitt adventure is another action packed gripping yarn, with multiple convoluted storylines it's easy to get slightly confused with the many characters and action set pieces. Dirk and the team at NUMA are investigating a deadly toxic spill in the Pacific Ocean, whilst trying to stop t Leggi tutto

Another of the older Dirk Pitt novels that I'm reading in order, despite the fact that they are out of print and difficult to find. All the usual traits of a Cussler book here, suspense, action, and diabolical villain's. But, akin with some of the other older books, this one has a plot that stretches Leggi tutto
