Publisher's summary

A Sunday Times best seller

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 biplane!

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....

As always, those hooked on Cussler’s stories can only wish we were so daring and talented as Dirk and Al in meeting challenges with so many twists and turns. Always makes you try to anticipate what is really going to happen next.

GREAT ENTERTAINMENT!

Reading the Dirk Pitt series in sequence is great! Moreover, returning to early Cussler writings gives the reader a wonderful understanding of what made him famous. Much of these works shows not only his development as an author, but some of his best work, I think! Scott Brick is one of my favorite readers, as well.

Great book

The history & knowledge really helps make a realistic book.
Great action packed book but needs to cut out the smoking but it was written in 1972 a different time
ENJOY

Eager Cussler reader.

Clive Cussler came along ways in developing his characters to what they became in his later years.
I like how he softened Dirk’s personality.
Always a fun read.
