Once, when I picked up a book from the local library, the librarian asked to tell her what I thought about the book when I would bring it back. Well, why not write a few lines about all the books I read so everybody could see what I thought about it? I'm often also happy to have friends recommend a certain book or tell me this and that is not really worth reading. I won't comment about the tons of books I have read so far, but about books I read from now on.

Terrorists bring down a chartered plane with the UN Secretary-General. When the plane crashes on Greenland, Dirk Pitt is nearby on a NUMA ship and hastens to help. There are survivors indeed. The terrorists, too, learn that not everybody died in the crash and launch a follow-up attempt. Dirk is involved again in trying to rescue the US Secretary-General. But not only her, there are also other important people needing rescue from a superbly planned attempt at their lives. The stakes are high, multinational and the results would be disastrous if the terrorists succeeded. And they are good, those terrorists.
I felt Dirk Pitt is just a bit too much of an over-hero, too good, too flawless. Other than that, the book is well written and the story interesting.
