A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
'Cussler is hard to beat' Daily Mail
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 bi-plane!
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 . . .

Thank goodness we have come a long way since this mysoginistic tripe was written. Dirk Pitt portrayed as a sexist sociopath. If I was CC I'd have this excised from the back catalogue.

An alright adventure, but the conclusion is a bit underwhelming (again). Im looking forward to reading another cussler novel sometime in the future.

Good read but seemed a bit condensed at the end, later books in series much better balance.

About the author
Clive Cussler was the author of more than eighty books in five bestselling series, including Dirk Pitt®, NUMA Files®, Oregon Files®, Isaac Bell®, and Sam and Remi Fargo®. His life nearly paralleled that of his hero Dirk Pitt. Whether searching for lost aircraft or leading expeditions to find famous shipwrecks, he and his NUMA crew of volunteers discovered and surveyed more than seventy-five lost ships of historic significance, including the long-lost Civil War submarine Hunley, which was raised in 2000 with much publicity. Like Pitt, Cussler collected classic automobiles. His collection featured more than one hundred examples of custom coachwork. Cussler passed away in February 2020.
