Helpful Score: 1
For fans of Cussler, etc. this is a great read. Some twists, some predictibility. The hero always gets the girl, and the world is always saved. The action is good and the writing is great.

What I am at odds with in this book is the engineering relative to liquid nitrogen. It is a big stretch of the imagination to conceive of an unpowered container that can hold such liquids for months. ... Otherwise it is an interesting scenario.
Action adventure in the best selling tradition of Dale Brown, Clive Cussler, and Tom Clancy...
A good read on a long winter's night!
SLow start but worth keep reading,
Great mindless thriller!
A lot te same as first book
Ivan Kerikov, ex-leader of the KCG's secret science division, has joined forces with a renegrade Arab oil minister to control the supply of oil to the U.S. They plan to mount a coup in the minister's home country, blow up the Alaska Pipeline, and crash a fully loaded supertanker in the middle of San Francisco Bay. They're helped by Aggie Johnson, the beautiful daughter of a petrochemical magnate, who feeds company secrets to the eco-terrorists. But Kerikov hasn't accounted for geologist Philip Mercer. Mercer knows all the right people in all the right places... or is it all the wrong people in all the wrong places? And he's not about to let Kerikov cripple the U.S. politically, economically, and environmentally. Can one man stop an army? If that man is Philip Mercer... the odds are in the Free World's favor.
