Book Description:
A Civil War gunboat that vanished in 1865...

A world-famous Australian aviatrix who disappeared in 1931...

A deadly tide of poison that threatens the entire world...

While searching for a treasure on the Nile River, DIRK PITT thwarts the attempted assassination of a beautiful U.N. scientist investigating a disease that is driving thousands of North Africans into madness, cannibalism, and death. The suspected cause of the raging epidemic is vast, unprecedented pollution that threatens to extinguish all life in the world's seas. Racing to save the world from environmental catastrophe, Pitt and his team, equipped with an extraordinary, state-of-the-art yacht, run a gauntlet between a billionaire industrialist and a bloodthirsty West African tyrant. In the scorching desert, Pitt finds a gold mine manned by slaves and uncovers the truth behind two enduring mysteries -- the fate of a Civil War ironclad and its secret connection with Lincoln's assassination, and the last flight of a long-lost female pilot....Now, amidst the blazing, shifting sands of the Sahara, DIRK PITT will make a desperate stand -- in a battle the world cannot afford to lose!

This is a great adventure, turned into a Paramount motion picture, but the movie does not do the book justice. You will not want to put this one down, the end will leave you speechless. Enjoy

Sahara is an extremely well written book by Clive Cussler. It is a very interesting action/adventure book that never ceases to captivate you with its many story lines and plots. Its characters all have something to offer and don't kill the story with stupidity or lame lines. Also the main characters Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino are always on the top of their game and always have something humorous to say in the light of trouble adding a lighter side to the imminent threat of deadly toxins overshadowing the book

I decided to read this book after seeing the movie and I loved the book so much. It starts out a little slow, but once it picks up it doesn't stop. It's my first Dirk Pitt book, but I will be reading more.

Very typical Clive Cussler Dirk Pitt novel. Not at all the same storyline as the film.
