Sinossi
Maggio 1914: nella stessa notte un treno diretto a New York precipita da un ponte danneggiato a causa di un tornado e una nave di lusso, la "Empress of Ireland", affonda nella acque del fiume San Lorenzo. Una disgraziata coincidenza? Non proprio perché sul treno e sulla nave c'erano due uomini, un americano e un inglese che avevano con sé un documento di inestimabile valore... Febbraio 1989: gli Stati Uniti, sull'orlo della più grave crisi energetica mai affrontata, sono minacciati da un gruppo di terroristi canadesi che vogliono rovesciarne il governo. E l'unica speranza di salvezza giace da più di mezzo secolo sul fondo limaccioso di un gelido fiume...

So, I’m berating myself that I have only recently discovered the joys of reading Clive Cussler. Seriously, Clive, where have you been all my life? “Night Probe!” is the third Cussler novel I have ever read, and it’s the sixth to feature his beloved action hero, Dirk Pitt. It’s clear to me now why so Leggi tutto
Despite being a bit dated in parts, this is still a fun book to read. It moves at a pretty good pace from start to finish; it still holds my interest throughout the entire story.

I think this book in the series (#6) is where Cussler really begins to hit his stride in terms of writing an action packed, suspenseful drama. Right from the start it was one of those storied where I just had to keep reading to find out what happened next. Despite enjoying this book most of the way t Leggi tutto
Not one of my favorites, but do still love these books
Months before World War I consumed Europe and brought Britain’s Empire to the fields of France, a historic treaty could have changed everything if not for two accidents. The sixth book of Clive Cussler’s Dirk Pitt series, Night Probe! , finds the series protagonist on a historical and internationally Leggi tutto
Looking forward to the next in the Dirk Pitt series, another excellent and fact filled read!

The governments of the United States and Great Britain order a cover up so it is as if the treaty never existed. In February 1989 Heidi Milligan, a stunningly beautiful (of course) Leggi tutto
