Average Cussler (0/0 people found this helpful)
Kurt Austin takes on a wealthy Russian tycoon who is determined to overthrow the Russian government and replace it with a new Czar and Cossacks.
This is a fairly average Cussler book. The whole concept of Czar's and Cossacks gripped me along with the mysterious monk who advises the tycoon. However, I felt this area could have been explored further. There's only really one major scene with the Cossacks and the monk mainly stayed in the background.
Austin is a bit of a swashbuckler and at times his exploits are a bit unbelievable.
As with most Cussler books it is an enjoyable if slightly unbelievable read.
7/10.
Trouble in North Africa (0/0 people found this helpful)
Clive Cussler was born in 1931 and grew up in Alhambra, California. He attended Pasadena City College before joining the Air Force. He went on to a successful advertising career, winning many national honours for his copywriting. He has also explored the deserts of the American Southwest in search of lost gold mines, dived in isolated lakes in the Rocky Mountains looking for lost aircraft and hunted under the sea for shipwrecks of historic significance, discovering and identifying more than sixty. He is married with three children, and divides his time between Colorado and Arizona. His credentials as a best selling author cannot be doubted and he has a large `stable' of best selling adventure novels.
This time Clive Cussler takes up to North Africa, a place in turmoil. The unrest that has been simmering there for years suddenly comes to a head. The new Libyan president has had the new Egyptian president assassinated. There are bound to be repercussions and the Egyptian president's widow, Susan Salaam has vowed to take revenge on his killers and the man who instigated the assassination.
She enlists the help of Air Force general Patrick McClanahan and his Night Stalkers. But the Libyans and their allies hold an ace up their sleeves. One that has a personal meaning for McClanahan and it could be one that will leave even the Night Stalkers powerless to do anything about . . .
