Shock Wave by Clive Cussler
4.0
A typical Dirk Pitt book. Ruthless supervillains. Beautiful women. Impossible situations that Dirk somehow escapes. Lots of fun - a really enjoyable read. In this particular book, the ruthless supervillain is a diamond mogul who has a plan to destroy the world diamond market, and oh by the way, might accidentally kill a few million people along the way.
As with most (all?) Dirk Pitt books, the first few chapters of the book are a historical accounting of something that happened a long time ago (usually some truth mixed with some fiction) that ends up being relevant. That particular story (about 10% of the book) was 5-star worthy - some of the best reading I've done in a long time. The rest of the book was very good too.
