When a hurricane unexpectedly blows up off the coast of Nicaragua, a giant floating hotel lies in its path. With no escape for the helpless passengers and crew, it’s left to Dirk Pitt and NUMA to launch a rescue and save the day. But in the storm’s wake, Pitt and his team discover clues that point to an ancient mystery with shocking implications for today.

As Pitt investigates further, he uncovers a plot by a mysterious billionaire called Specter to dramatically alter the Earth’s climate, leaving him in control of the only solution. With foes attempting to stop him on every side, Pitt is in a race against time to prevent global catastrophe…

First of all, this author has written a whole Dirk Pitt series, and this is not the first, but I was not lost at all not having read the others. For an adventure junkie, this book is a jewel. It is 650 pages of NONSTOP adventure! But I loved this book because it was such an easy read. Plus, I loved that it incorporates Homer's Iliad story (the story of Odysseus) with the modern day time. There were some great twists all the way til the end. I definitely will be picking up more Dirk Pitt novels in the future! Plus, this book was totally clean as far as language and sex goes, which is always nice to have. You can buy it used on Amazon for less than $1, or brand new for only $2.50.
