The New York Post called him just about the best storyteller in the business.

Good drama
seemed a bit fantasy-like what with this exclusive group of do-gooders with highly sophisticated ship, disguises, etc... but overall the plot was captivating, and kept my interest.

Great adventure!
Cussler has created another great adventure crew! This one is a bit more laid-back than the Dirk Pitt / Kurt Austin stories, but still delivers in the usual Clive Cussler way. Adventure, travel, action, drama, humor. Hard to put down. Great, relaxing read!
