Narrated by: Scott Brick

Length: 10 hrs and 20 mins

Publisher's summary

A Sunday Times best seller

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.

Always a fan of Dirk Pitt

I love all Pitt books. However, I did miss Al in this one….
Great reading by Scott Brick.

IceBerg

I had read this book years ago and remember some parts, but a re read has brought it back into clear focus. I have enjoyed the adventures and wits of Dirk Pitt and plan to read the books in series again.

Fun story with twists and turns

Good story except for the nasty way that gay men were treated. Ironic that the most beautiful woman turns out to have been a man.

One of the greatest club coaster books I’ve ever read, and I’ve read most of them

One of the greatest Clive Cussler, books that I’ve read in all my years of reading him

Good Story Well Performed

This is an early Pitt story which helps form the basic format of all stories in the series. it is unfortunate that the early stories have such a sexist and mysoginistic tone.

The performance is excellent. Looking forward to the later and more mature stories.

Old school

Reading the woke comments made me respond…this was a GREAT read, books take us places and this adventure did just that. Writing, like acting is Art and can’t be falsely represented or made to conform to any one else’s guild lines.
Loved this book and story dragged me along for a good journey….thanks Clive !

I love Dirk Pitt

I just could not stop listening to this book. Can't wait to start the next one.

Dirk Pitt vs. a cabal of billionaires

Dirk Pitt returns to solve a seagoing mystery of a ship frozen inside an iceberg. From there he is thrust into attempt after attempt on his life. The action is nonstop from that iceberg to Iceland to California Disneyland of all places.

In the previous books, Dirk has been a poster child for misogyny. He's a bit better on that score in this outing, but he won't get any awards from the LGBTQ community as he goes undercover as a REALLY flamboyantly gay man. This was written in 1975, so some " of it's time" allowances must be made.

All in all the book was fast paced and entertaining. If you enjoy the James Bond books and films, you will probably enjoy this as well.

INTERESTING STORY

I really liked this story until the epilogue. Should have been rewritten to completely change the ending.

Most folks would welcome a Dirk Pitt in their lives. I do!

I really like reading the Dirk Pitt novels for a lot of reasons:
Fun “very tough” character complete with flaws and strokes of brilliance. Aside from the “very tough” part, I believe we all share flaws and strokes of brilliance in our lives. I also believe that we all would like to be a little “tougher” than we are; but with the charm and wit of Dirk Pitt. Tough does not have to mean “asshole”. Thumbs up 👍👍 for Dirk Pitt!!
