In my day I have read a lot of books and so far I have not read one that is Dragons equal. Dragon is extreamly well written and has a fabulous plot. It talks of underground mining and a sinster plot to plant nucleur bombs all over the world and hold the world hostage. And this all being done from private companies out of Japan looking for finacial gain. Dirk Pitt, the protagonistis a mix between James Bond and Jaques Cousteau. If you are looking for a fabulous book with get to the next page action Dragon is the book you want.
