Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Written in the bestselling style of Pacific Vortex! and Deep Six, and with the indestructible Dirk Pitt as its hero, this latest Cussler suspense caper features, and ingeniously connects, a maverick American colony on the Moon, a fabulous sunken treasure sought by an unscrupulous, blimp-owning financier, and two cunningly devised Soviet schemes, one to steal U.S. space secrets, the other to replace Fidel Castro with a Kremlin puppet, no matter what the cost in human lives. The nonstop action involves murder and torture as well as superpower politicking, and Pitt extricates himself from one desperate situation after another, even finding time for a little romance. The writing is brittle, but the reader is not likely to worry about that in a story whose plot resembles a box of exploding fireworks and poses some interesting questions regarding both Cuba and the militarization of space. Paperback rights to Pocket Books. February 7

5.0 out of 5 stars
This is one of his best!!!,
By Travis Teel "travanian" (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cyclops (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read more than ten of Cussler's books and can honestly say that this is one of his finest reads. Lots of nail bitting, edge of your seat action and the usual Cussler twist, but I have to tell you, I could'nt put the book down. Great job!!!!
5.0 out of 5 stars

ONE OF THE BEST READS,
By sanjeev sood (MUMBAI (INDIA)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cyclops (Mass Market Paperback)
Clive Cussler is one of my favourite writers.I would like to thank my friend who introduced me to this author. She recommended his Sahara but i laid my hands on Cyclops first and now wont let go of Cussler. I however didn't like his The Serpent, which was a total washout. I dont blame him when almost everybody has faltered at some time or the other. this book is a real roller coaster ride and you will thoroughly enjoy this book. It crackles at a fast pace and will leave you gasping for more. The hero Drik Pitt is almost a leged for all Cussler fans.... In me Cussler has his biggest fan.......
