I've been a fan of Clive Cussler for several years.
While none of his books are likely to win the Booker prize, they are what they are - highly enjoyable adventures.
Cussler's male characters are tough, good looking and heroic. They're almost comicbook styled personnages, but that does not make them any less enjoyable.
Kurt Austin, and his "sidekick" Joe Zavala, this time round are up against a deadly virus and the Chinese triads.
The story takes them from the US to a number of exotic locations, with plenty of action, romance and tension.
Of course we know that Austin will save the day, but how he manages to get there is the fun part.
If you're a fan of good clean action then Austin makes a nice maritime James Bond style figure.
A good enjoyable read - perfect for the holiday season.
