Not super interesting. Cussler is good but overrated

Halfway through the book, and it's just not going anywhere I want to be, should have put it down weeks ago.

Interesting concept. Being able to change the earth's electromagnetic field. I think the idea is what's captivating about this story. As for the characters and the storyline, it was the usual. Overall, its a good read.

My blog post about this book is at this link.

I hate these books. The characters are wooden and one dimensional. The plot is implausible. The tone of the writing is patronizing. Blegh.

Cussler & Kemperos are in shape here. The science behind the apcalyptic polar shift is fiction, but Uncle Karl's one-man army puts backbone into the action. He could've filled his own novel. The mammoths are a nice nod to [b:Atlantis Found|41707|Atlantis Found (Dirk Pitt, #15)|Clive Cussler|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1389418438l/41707._SY75_.jpg|255727].
