Sinossi
Giugno 1035. In un luogo imprecisato dell'America settentrionale, una colonia vichinga viene spazzata via dai nativi americani, ma i superstiti riescono a nascondere in una caverna alcune navi colme di tesori. Luglio 2003, mar dei Caraibi. Durante il suo viaggio inaugurale, la Emerald Dolphin, una lussuosa nave da crociera dai rivoluzionari motori a propulsione idrica, prende improvvisamente fuoco; inspiegabilmente gli impianti di allarme non entrano in funzione, perciò, in poco meno di due ore, la nave cola a picco. In soccorso dei passeggeri giunge la Deep Encounter della NUMA, comandata da Dirk Pitt, il quale comincia ad indagare sulle cause dell'incidente.

Title: Valhalla Rising Author: Clive Cussler Date Published: 2001 Pages: 537 When the luxury cruise-liner Emerald Dolphin which had on board 1600 passengers in opulence styles and served by 900 crews members, powered by a newly invented propulsion system designed and developed by Dr. Elmore Egan a Nobel Leggi tutto
Il solito Cussler con l'aggravante di una trama ripetitiva e spompata. Quello che dovrebbe essere ormai un canone diventa una trita ripetizione di situazioni e luoghi comuni, in pratica un libro incagliato. Persino la narrazione parallela, quella che di solito consente a Cussler di correre a briglia Leggi tutto
My first Cussler book, and it will be my last. Before anyone sends me a nasty-gram about this review, remember, I'm not taking away your right to enjoy this book, it's just that I didn't. Dirk Pitt is just a little too much, don't you think? I mean, your ancient rare plane isn't showing up for your
A book for teenagers, half scientific, half adventures. It looks like a mixture of Jules Verne and James Bond, with many hard-believable facts, tons of coincidences and a lot of unnecessary casualties. The hero is too clever and and strong for my likes, but so goes the pattern. Three stars mainly fo Leggi tutto
Another likeable if totally implausible fantasy thriller from Clive Cussler in the Dirk Pitt series (we previously reviewed 'Atlantis Found' on GoodReads back in 2012). This immediate successor to 'Atlantis Found' [#15 in the series] is not nearly as loopy but it does manage to weave in Viking settl Leggi tutto
Oh dear, where to start? Perhaps the fact that the highlight of the stupendous, mega-cruise ship was the stupendous, fantastic, indoor shopping mall, whose loss Cussler keeps bemoaning? Would that be petty? There's clearly a market for this stupidity, as this was Dirk Pitt TM No. 16 and I see in the w Leggi tutto
I enjoyed this book a lot for being a thriller and an action adventure but its use of Vikings in the plot proved to be a bit of 'all talk and no substance'. The very first chapter is about Vikings settling and discovering North America but not an event that has a happy ending. The rest of the story f Leggi tutto
