Synopsis

Renowned marine adventurer Dirk Pitt returns to stem a toxic outbreak.

While investigating a toxic outbreak in the Caribbean Sea that may ultimately threaten the United States, Pitt unwittingly becomes involved in something even more dangerous - a post-Castro power struggle for the control of Cuba.

Meanwhile, Pitt's children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, are on an investigation of their own, chasing an Aztec stone that may reveal the whereabouts of a vast historical Aztec treasure. The problem is, that stone was believed to have been destroyed on the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898, which brings the pair both to Cuba as well - and squarely into harm's way.

Pitt father, son and daughter have been in desperate situations before . . . but perhaps never quite as dire as the one facing them now.

Dirk Pitt returns in Havana Storm, the thrilling new novel from the grandmaster of adventure and No.1 New York Times bestselling author, Clive Cussler.

About Clive Cussler

During a very active, interesting life, author. Clive Cussler became interested in writing. He was in the Air Force during the Korean War followed by a career in advertising writing award winning commercials. In 1996 he wrote his first notification work, The Sea Hunters. From that work he was awarded a Doctor of Letters degree, with his work being accepted in lieu of a thesis. Then, in 2002 he was awarded the Naval Heritage Award for his efforts in the subject of marine exploration. He is also a Fellow in three prestigious marine organizations.

In keeping with his marine interests, his books revolved around character, Dirk Pitt, who was a marine engineer, government agent, and adventurer. His first two novels were more traditional maritime thrillers, but the third, Raise the Titanic, established his iconic style.....a blend of high adventure and high technology involving villains, sunken treasure, and beautiful women.

Cussler writes in the style like fellow authors, Michael Crichton, creating techno - thrillers that do not depend on any certain settings with great spectacular and outlandish plot devices. He has had more than seventeen titles on the New York Times fiction best seller list.

We all have our guilty pleasures and reading this series by Clive Cussler is mine. I have been reading his Dirk Pitt novels for many years now. They are full of international intrigue and dire consequences with some sort of historical connection. Of course, there is always a diabolical villain at the......more

I have to disagree with any reviewer that says this is another great book by Clive Cussler, who has become as formulaic as anyone writing today.

E mi ritrovo a divorare una nuova avventura di Dirk Pitt, il mio primo protagonista di storie di avventura (come ho già detto nelle altre recensioni, ho tutta la saga completa).

Goodreads review by Stacey on October 14, 2014

For years my father and brother have been telling me to try Clive Cussler novels. My response has always been "that's not my type of book." Well, recently I've decided to branch out from what I normally read and I decided to give this a shot. I'm glad I did. As a first time reader to the series, it w......more

No words to describe another winner from the Master of Adventure! I loved especially the Cuba/Havana setting in this Dirk Pitt outing! Dirk Pitt and NUMA are on the waters of Cuba investigating a toxic outbreak growing in the sea, turning into something far more deadly when Pitt realizes he's up agai......more
