Black Wind: A Dirk Pitt Novel by Clive Cussler

Another good yarn from Cussler, September 11, 2005****


Having been disappointed by Cussler's sideline OREGON series, I welcome this father and son collaboration featuring our old friend Dirk Pitt and his son Dirk Jr. and daughter Summer. As usual Cussler starts with an historical backdrop-an attempt by a Japanese submarine near the end of the Second World war to launch a viral attack on the U.S. But we are soon racing through the present as an evil South Korean industrialist(a North Korean agent) plots the reunification of the Koreas, prepared to wreak havoc on America using germ warfare if necessary to achieve his diabolical aims.If it's action you want, it's action you get. All in all, not great literature but a page-turning good read!
