Helpful Score: 1
Exciting read about lost treasures of Alexandria and global intrigue, typical Cussler style. I can only assume that there might be a cross-over of details with Steve Berry's newest release on a similar treasure!
Helpful Score: 1
I am a BIG fan of Clive Custler. I enjoy this book, it takes you on an around the globe trot on the sea, under it, and on and above land. Get set for a facinating and enjoyable roller coaster ride!!

Dirk Pitt is battling the ulitmate conspiracy.
An ancient ship found in Greenland's frozen wasteland. A plot to plunge the world into a bloody chaos.
Dirk Pitt discovers the treasures of Alexandria.
I loved this one, it incorporates ancient history with current intrigue and all the other common nuances of Cussler's work. Great read!
Excellent early Cussler
I really enjoyed this book as well as all of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt adventures.

My husband read and enjoyed this book very much
I found this information inside this book. I liked it because it was so interesting and funny, that I decided to share it.
"A NOTE TO READER:
Please forgive the inconvenience of converting measurements from what most Americans are used to. But in 1991 the United States finally became the last nation on earth to convert to the metric system.
It's easy:
1 kilometer roughly equals a little more than 1/2 mile.
1 meter is slightly more than 1 yard, about 39 inches.
2 centimeters to the inch.
And there you have it."
