Clive Cussler, "The Grand Master of Adventure", sends his intrepid heroes Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino on their wildest, boldest mission into the ancient world, unlocking extraordinary secrets and solving hideous crimes. Another fabulous story from the most beloved series from the number-one New York Times best-selling author.

The murders of a team of United Nations scientists in El Salvador.... A deadly collision in the waterways off the city of Detroit.... An attack by tomb raiders on an archaeological site along the banks of the Nile.... Is there a link between these violent events? The answer may lie in the tale of an Egyptian princess forced to flee the armies of her father 3,000 years ago.

During what was supposed to be a routine investigation in South America, NUMA Director Dirk Pitt finds himself embroiled in an international mystery, one that will lead him across the world and will threaten everyone and everything he knows - most importantly, his own family. Pitt travels to Scotland in search of answers about the spread of an unknown disease and the shadowy bioremediation company that may be behind it.

Meanwhile, his son and daughter face a threat of their own when the discoveries they have made in an Egyptian tomb put killers on their trail. These seemingly unrelated riddles come together in a stunning showdown on the rocky isles of Ireland, where only the Pitts can unravel the secrets of an ancient enigma that could change the very future of mankind.

excellent read

Sadly I know Clive passed away recently but his son Dirk is carrying on his legacy. I've been a Cussler fan for years and I hope Dirk keeps the stories coming. The other authors that have collaborated with Clive are exceptional as well i.e. Jack Dubrul, Graham Brown to mention a couple. P.S. All those cars mentioned in the Cussler books are actual vehicles in the Cussler collection housed in Colorado. I've been to the museum and it is well presented. They have a placard that mentions what book each vehicle was highlighted in.

Easy and fun to read. The Pitt family are very lucky and very dumb! After numerous attacks on their lives, day after day, they don't think to carry self defense. Very dumb characters!

Probably my last Dirk Pitt novel

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

I haven't read a Dirk Pitt novel for a while as I lost interest in the series after the introduction of the miraculous conception twins. Unfortunately I wish I hadn't bothered trying again. Outdated and wooden characters with the same old plot line that is given away to the readers way before the characters so it's just a boring trudge to get to the end as you know exactly what is going to happen. Die hard fans will probably like it but anyone who is used to more modern and sophisticated thrillers won't.

A ripping yarn!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 19, 2022

Verified Purchase

Like: it's Dirk Pitt; it's a Clive Cussler novel; it was a good price; it was a sensibly-sized paperback (not one of those small "mass market" things) .
Dislike: nothing.

If you like multifaceted adventure stories, with lots of technical detail, you may well like this. The main criticism of Cussler novels is that they are formulaic ... or some might say dependable.

exciting story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 6, 2021

I loved this story, I kept thinking it was like a film I was watching instead of reading it. The characters just came to life in my mind, this is the same with all the Cussler books I have read & also lots more authors I have known. I recommend this book to all who enjoy a good mystery story.

Typically gripping, exiting and hard to put down right from the start to the end. This author never dissapoints. I have read a number of his books and I will certainly be reading more.

As good as ever

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 15, 2019

Verified Purchase

Clive never fails to deliver, , this sees a real return to form and all our favourite characters involved.
There are to main story threads, Dirk, Loren and Al and Dirk and Summer both of which join up towards the end of the book. A very interesting take on an ancient plague that kills of the male gene.
Totally recommend and unfortunately looks like its going to be another 2 years until the next Dirk novel oh well plenty more in the offing from Mr Cussler to keep me occupied.
