Gotta love an author who writes himself into his own book! This had it all; beautiful women (don’t worry they can hold conversation just like any man), manly men living the manly lifestyle, explosions, shooting, and more. This was everything I expected and more.

Enjoyable, far-fetched, but fun. The law of Character Conservation can only be stretched so far, and I think the Cussler boys are beginning to reach taht limit, but it's a fun read. The machinations of a greedy billionaire duping Canada and the US to the brink of a shooting war, and the only thing that can stop it is finding the lost shipwrecks of a British exploratory expedition in the frigid Arctic, from 160 years ago. Nice.

This was just another solid book in the Dirk Pitt universe! Like usual if a book keeps me entertained then I will probably like it.

So first of all no one speaks like a human being in this book, and secondly most of the plot predicates on INSANE egregiously unbelievable luck. Pitt is rescued from a landslide by Clive Cussler himself??? Ok dude. Pitt finds the Terror and Erebus after about an hour of searching????? People get getting rescued from certain death by miraculous coincidences!!!! Too much for me tbh

Ventesima avventura di Dirk Pitt. Fino ad oggi le ho lette tutte. E questa l'ho trovata abbastanza deludente. Sarà che ormai Pitt ha una certa età (64 anni), sarà che molte idee sanno di già visto, sarà che i figli gemelli di Pitt stavolta sono serviti solo per allungare il brodo alla storia, sarà che tutta la trama era debole, da fan di Cussler non ne sono uscito soddisfatto. Spiace tanto, e il fatto che da qualche tomo si avvalga dell'aiuto del figlio nella stesura dei suoi romanzi mi fa insospettire che sia sempre meno farina del suo sacco.
