Action

A Dirk Pitt Novel. The book opens in early 19450with an aircrew getting ready for a secret mission to bomb Japan with a nuclear bomb. The airplane is shot down on its trip to its target city and is lost to history. Then we move to modern times where a cruise ship has spotted a derelict ship and sends over a crew to take possession of it. It then blows up destroying both ships along with a NUMA research vessel. Dirk Pitt is on the bottom of the ocean in a secret habitat near the explosion. As we go along in the book, we find out that a Japanese crime syndicate is behind a plan to rule the world financially. The climax of the book is Dirk Pitt saving the day, again. I do enjoy the historical parts of the book. Those are my favorite parts. Dirk Pitt, as always, seems invincible, but I still enjoyed the story. I must, as I keep reading them. ( )

As many Cussler novels do, this story starts on an important historical date - 6 Aug 1945 - with the covered-up loss of a sister aircraft and atomic bomb that was also on it's way to Japan.
This is an epic (585 page paperback) Dirk Pitt adventure centred around a Japanese organised crime syndicate who intend to avenge Japan. ( )
