Book Description:
In Serpent, Clive Cussler introduced a hero for the new millennium in Kurt Austin, the leader of NUMA's Special Assignments Team. In previous encounters, Austin and his colleague Joe Zavala have battled eco-extortionists and mad empire builders-but they have never faced a menace like the one before them now. In the heart of the old Soviet Union, a mining tycoon has proclaimed himself czar of Russia. Claiming Romanov ancestry and backed by billions of dollars, he is determined to overthrow the already shaky Russian government-and U.S. opposition doesn't bother him one bit. A little crisis of their own should distract the Americans for a while, and he knows just the thing. . . . Filled with all the hair-raising action and endless imagination that are Cussler's hallmarks, Fire Ice is a dazzling thriller from the grandmaster of adventure fiction.

In the heart of the odl Soviet Union, a mining tycoon has declared himself tsar of Russia. Claiming Romanov ancestry and backed by billions of dollars, he is determined to over-throw the current Russian government-while distracting the U.S. with a man-made natural disaster. All along America's eastern seaboard lie pockets of methane hydrate-a notoriously unstable compound known as "fire ice". Detonation of this compound could create a tidal wave big enough to destroy a major city. But there's one thing this poiwer-hungry madman didn't count on: Kurt Austin and his Special Assignment Team are about to make a few waves of their own.

Another awsome Clive Cussler book. I enjoyed it very much, the story grabs you from the first page.
North Africa is in turmoil. The new Libyan president has had the new Egyptian president assassinated, and the latter's widow, Susan Salaam, vows revenge. She enlists the high-tech help of Air Force general Patrick McClanahan and his Night Stalkers. But the Libyans, and their scheming secret allies, hold a trump card-one with a deeply personal meaning for McClanahan-and it may be one that will leave even the Night Stalkers powerless..
Beneath the Eastern seaboard of America lies a danger beyond imagining, a disaster waiting to happen. It's called FIRE ICE.
This will leave you breathless!
This is a Kurt Austin story along with Numa. Always great. Beneath the Eastern seaboard of America lies danger beyond imagining, a disaster waiting to happen.
A Kurt Austin Adventure by Clive Cussler with Paul Kemprecos, a fun read
Michael C. (This is another one of his best books. If you love good suspense type books, this is a great read.
