Lost city by Clive Cussler with Paul Kemprecos

"Lost city" a novel by Clive Cussler with Paul Kemprecos.

This is a Numa Files adventure and the protagonist is Kurt Austin, director of Special Assignments team of NUMA (National Underwater & Marine Agency - underwater equivalent of CIA) alongwith his sidekick Joe Zavala.

A frozen body of an aviator is found entoumbed in a glacier with a strange helmet. Its the body of a person from one of the most powerful families that has thrived on arms business for centuries. Scientists on a deserted island may have reinvented elixer of life and horrible mutants. What links the two? How does Numa get involved? What is the relation of all this with the Lost City (a field of hydrothermal vents in atlantic ocean)?
                    
Clive Cussler thrillers are all centered around the theme of water. I wonder how he can write so many novels. This is 6th in Numa series that I read and I  have read another 16 of Dirk Pitt adventures, Oregon files, Isac Bell adventures & Sam Fargo adventures. And there are more  to be read.
               
Clive Cussler is a master story teller and keeps you transfixed to the book till the end. This book is no exception. This thriller enters into science fiction zone.
                               
If you like Cussler read it. However this is not a book to start reading Cussler.

Night probe by Clive Cussler

"Night Probe", by Clive Cussler. This is a Dirk Pitt adventure.

There is a secret treaty by which one country had SOLD another country to America 75 yr ago. Unfortunately persons carrying the copy of treaty met with accident and their respective vessels went under water. The sale and transfer never took place.

American president wants Dirk Pitt to salvage the copies of treaty so that he can claim the country. There are forces of the 'seller' country trying to stop Pitt. Can Pitt salvage the copies of treaty? Who wants to stop him? Will the 'sold' county mearge in America?

Story happens in 1989. The back drop of Qubec independence movement is used for the story.

Novel is lenghty & becomes boring. The title has little significance to the story. However entry of James Bond adds spice at the end.

Although I am a fan of Cussler, this one does not qualify to his usual standards.
