VALHALLA RISING: Dirk Pitt Adventures. (C.Cussle

The apparently tireless Dirk Pitt returns to perform nautical miracles, the first of which is the rescue of thousands of cruise ship passengers and crew. As always, the author packs this page-turner with adept plotting, high-tech conspiracies, and almost nonstop action. Definitely up to Cussler's high adventure standards.
