Terrorists Probably not the best in the series--it certainly did not grab me! #24 seems to follow the old formula --- is predictable, too long and boring. This one is even worse than the last two in the series--pitch trim is set for a descent and we're about to crash. To expect the Director of a Cabinet level US agency to be out diving in the Black Sea is complete lunacy: 1) security trolls wouldn't have it, 2) some other agency would eat NUMA up and gobble it's budget. The author doesn't really know what happens in DC. Positive reviews must have been written by a Russian troll-bot to improve ratings in the current Ukraine war. This is terminal writing and I won't bother with another Dirk Pitt novel. DNF -- the ultimate downer. Three eras of Russian history in the last century converge in a dangerous combination of treasure, war, personal greed, and personal vengeance that affect four nations in various ways. Odessa Sea is the twenty-fourth book in Clive Cussler’s Dirk Pitt series and the seventh cowritten with his son Dirk. After three consecutive books that had fun narratives but were weighed down by tired tropes compared, the Cusslers wrote a book on par with their first three collaborative efforts. The backdrop of the still ongoing, even in 2021, Russo-Ukrainian war and an apparently duplicitous industrialist that appears to be selling weapons to both sides but with an agenda quite different was a great twist at the end of the book. The black-market smugglers-salvagers that the elder Pitt deals with throughout the book’s main subplot were competent villains, one half of which were stopped by Pitt and Giordino doing their thing while the other half were taken out by the antagonist of the second subplot. Dirk and Summer’s battle with a Russian spy to find missing Romanov gold was a fun mystery—that once again took them to London which is becoming a trope now—which featured the antagonist-antagonist battle and Summer for once not being a damsel-in-distress but showing she had the Pitt genes to take care of herself. Odessa Sea is the penultimate collaboration between Clive and Dirk Cussler, but of the seven it probably is the best overall book featuring two intriguing subplots that interact in interesting ways without being weighed down by the tired tropes that hampered their previous three efforts. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Gehört zur ReiheDirk Pitt (24)
Die umfänglichen Thriller des Autors, diesmal wieder mit Dirk Pitt, dem Direktor der NUMA, und seinem Freund und Kollegen Al Giordino werden ohne längere Pause fortgesetzt. Im Schwarzen Meer untersuchen sie das Wrack eines im 18. Jahrhunderts gesunkenen Schiffes. Da erreicht sie der Notruf eines Frachters, der führungslos im Meer treibt. Von der Mannschaft hat nur ein Seemann überlebt. Ein Gasleck, vielleicht auch radioaktive Substanzen können der Grund sein. Zudem transportierte das absichtlich versunkene Schiff waffenfähiges Uran. Dahinter steckt der verbrecherische Waffenhändler Mankado. 1955 stürzte ein russisches Tupolew-Flugzeug ab. An Bord befand sich eine frühe Atombombe. Mankedo soll sie geborgen haben, um sie zu besitzen und Unheil damit anzurichten. Dirk Pitt ist Zeuge bei allen riskanten Vorgängen und kann sich stets behaupten. - Spannung für alle Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden.
