Iceberg (Dirk Pitt Adventure, #2) (Dirk Pitt) (The Dirk Pitt Adventures)

'Cussler is hard to beat' Daily Mail

The superb third Dirk Pitt classic from multi-million-copy king of the adventure novel, Clive Cussler.

The towering iceberg drifting in the North Atlantic was a floating tomb. Embedded in the great gleaming mass was a ship - sealed in so solidly that not even its mast protruded.

Here was a sea mystery to rank alongside the Bermuda Triangle and the Marie Celeste. But for Major Dirk Pitt, top troubleshooter for the National Underwater and Marine Agency, it was also the first link in a fantastic chain of events that would lead him too close - and too often - to violent death. And to the discovery of the most sinister and bizarre conspiracy of the century . . . ICEBERG.

The third instalment in the Dirk Pitt series and Clive Cussler's writing continues to get better and better.

This time, Dirk finds himself caught up in a plot that stretches across the globe, from an Iceberg in the North Atlantic, to the beautiful country of Iceland and across again to South America and California. Dirk Pitt is a believable and likeable character, with a sharp mind and witty tongue but who isn't flawless. He's also very loyal and fair to those he works with and the good guys he meets. My only disappointment with this one is that his best friend and sidekick Al Giordino doesn't feature, but the replacement with Admiral Sandecker and Tidi Royal make it just as fun.

I can't wait to read the next one.

Worst Dirk Pitt novel ever. Instead of the charming, rakish Pitt of the later novels we get this really offensive version. I don’t know if it was just a sign of the times (the book was published in 1975) or what, but I didn’t like it. His usual sidekicks are conspicuously missing, and the mystery just wasn’t as interesting as I’m used to from Cussler.
