A review by alexctelander
Arctic Drift by Dirk Cussler, Clive Cussler

4.0

In Clive Cussler's twentieth Dirk Pitt adventure, Arctic Drift, co-written with his son, it is the year 2011 and the world is in a place worse than now, with increasing levels of global warming, while the world knows something urgently needs to done. The United States, as the leader in carbon dioxide emissions, needs to lead the way and make a big change, and is looking for alternative means to fix the global warming as soon as possible. Meanwhile bodies are turning up dead in Canadian waters and the blame is being laid on American shoulders, causing increased tension between the two countries. And at the heart of the story is the mystery of the Franklin expedition, begun in 1845, to find the Northwest Passage through the Arctic. Both ships became trapped in the ice and the whole crew eventually died, but what is the mystery behind the secret ore they were carrying. And more importantly, where did it come from? It will take the whole Pitt family to find out the solutions to these mysteries in the latest adventure from the Cussler team.
