A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'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.

Ratings and reviews

Weirdly got worse as it went on...No idea how he wrote so many novels, likely won't buy another Cussler after the last 4.

I think that Clive Cusslers book's remind me of the old Biggels books with the hero and his offcider facing the action it may not get to many literary awards but I really love reading them

16th February, 2021. Always adventure packed. i did notice a review from 2016 complaining that the book was outdated in its language given that it was published in 2009. This is incorrect. the book was first published in 1975 and this particular issue was published in 2009. perhaps it's better to get one's facts straight before dissing an excellent author.
