A fun (and fast) read, but as the seemingly indestructible characters get involved in one improbable scenario after another, it all gets a little tiring and is not a satisfying read. The idea behind the novel is interesting - sea level rise due to damage from a mining operation - nevertheless this doesn't really save the whole thing from a rather low rating from me. ( ) Another NUMA Kurt Austin story that lives up to the standard. A bit of history, a lot of adventure - sometimes stepping into the unbelievable - and in this one, a good serve of science fiction. This story included some international diplomacy as well. At times, and perhaps due to it's setting, it reminded me of Ian Fleming's "You Only Live Twice" (the novel, not the movie). Sadly for various reasons this novel took me around 6 months to read in stages and I think I would have enjoyed it more if I could have read it in a shorter time span without the enforced breaks. While an enjoyable read, as are all of Clive Cussler's novels; this was along the same lines as many of his other collaboration books. Wolrd disaster unless NUMA saves the day. Of all his novels, I prefer the Dirk Pitt novels. They had class and style with the old fashioned Errol Flynn style about them. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
An alarming rise in the world's sea levels--much larger than could be accounted for by glacier melt--sends Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA scientific team rocketing around the globe in search of answers. What they find at the bottom of the East China Sea, however, is even worse than they imagined: a diabolical plan to upset the Pacific balance of power--and in the process displace as many as a billion people. A rare alloy unlike anything else on earth, a pair of five-hundred-year-old Japanese talismans, an assassin so violent even the Yakuza has disowned him, an audacious technological breakthrough that will become a very personal nightmare for Kurt Austin - from the shark-filled waters of Asia to the high-tech streets of Tokyo to a forbidden secret island, the NUMA team must risk everything to head off the coming catastrophe.
