Summary

A Sunday Times best seller

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

Major Dirk Pitt picked up the frantic distress call as he cruised his lumbering amphibious plane over the islands of the Aegean. Brady Air Force base was under fire, its entire force of jets destroyed on the ground...by just one First World War biplane!

A psychotic ex-Nazi, a bloodthirsty Greek strongman and a beautiful double agent set Pitt on the trail of the warped mastermind behind a devastating sabotage plot. And on that trail, danger and death are never far behind....

Of it's time, but excellent for the story

do not buy this if you are going to complain about the historical sexist language. You will not enjoy it.

However if you can place it in the timeline it is a rolling adventure with twists and turns. The bad guys are suitably bad and the goodies do their own thing.

I enjoy early Cussler like original James Bond or Carry on films. Great to visit but I don't wish to live there

Better than James Bond

Very well constructed story, incredibly intelligent hero with exceptional people skills and super-human stamina. Totally escapist!

I didn't enjoy the narrator's sing-song style

Loads of fun!

Loads of fun! I really like all the characters, I enjoy the writing. My brain isn't taxed but there's enough going on to keep me interested.
