Resumen del Editor

Over the years Dirk Pitt has always had a knack for finding trouble. This time it has found him.

The extraordinary new novel from the grand master of adventure and number-one New York Times best-selling author.

Pitt, the director of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, is on the Black Sea, helping to locate a lost Ottoman shipwreck, when he responds to an urgent Mayday - "under attack!" - from a nearby freighter. But when he and his colleague, Al Giordino, arrive, there is nobody there. Just dead bodies, a smell of sulfur in the air, and, as Pitt and Giordino explore, a blast from the stern that scuttles the ship swiftly, almost taking them with it.

The more the two of them search for the secret of the death ship, the deeper they descend into an extraordinary series of discoveries. A desperate attempt in 1917 to preserve the wealth and power of the Romanov Empire. A Cold War bomber lost with a deadly cargo. A brilliant developer of advanced drone technology on an unknown mission. Modern-day nuclear smugglers, determined Ukrainian rebels, a beautiful antiterrorism agent from Europol - all will combine to present Pitt with the most dangerous challenge of his career.

And not only Pitt. His two children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, are exploring a mysterious shipwreck of their own when they are catapulted into his orbit. The three of them are used to perilous situations - but this time they may have found their match.

Filled with breathtaking suspense and remarkable imagination, Odessa Sea is further proof that when it comes to adventure writing, nobody beats Clive Cussler.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“The pages whip by as the characters, at least the good guys, survive one deadly encounter after another, and the bad guys get their comeuppances. Readers will anxiously await Dirk’s next adventure.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Sketch out some exotic, ephemeral settings, make every villain as nasty as possible, and it's another of Cussler's cinematic-style entertainments spinning out at hold-on-to-your-hat speed.” (Kirkus Reviews)

great book

It was very very very very very very very very very very very good and it was cool

loved it huge fan of Clive Cussler

All you have to say is Dirk Pitt and his wild adventures, never knowing where he winds up next

Good but not my favorite

Love Dirk and gang and Scott Brick is the best, but this was not my favorite. For me there was too much going on. Seemed splintered.

fantastic writer

always loved reading his books Clive Cussler is a fantastic storyteller. his Dirk Pitt books are my favorite

Great performance in audio from Cussler's story

Very entertaining story. The usual Cussler's twist and turns and Scott's narrative was great.

They have done it again!

The whole Pitt clan battling evil all over the world! Even St Julian comes out for this one!

Another predictable adventure

You can always count on kidnapping, hacking computers, following close behind…until Dirk finally gets that someone other than NUMA wanting whatever it is he is going after. After this many novels it would be nice for once to read that US Gov. Digital access to be SECURE???
Finger prints, facial rec…you know like the average person has today?? Different adventure, yet predictable actions…

Another great Cussler!

action-adventure, suspense

Never met a Cussler novel I didn't love, and this one is no exception! Two parallel plots, one with Dirk and associates, the other with Summer and Dirk the younger make for classic nail-biting suspense. The only tidbit that I'll tease with is the part where Dirk comes out of a black powder cloud with a cutlass in his teeth to face off with a villain!
Scott Brick always does Cussler proud!

good book

very good story. when I first started the story I was leary as to whether I would like it or not but it grew on me.
