Book: The Ghost Ship
Author: Clive Cussler and Graham Brown
Publisher: Putnam
Review: A breathtaking ride of thrills and danger!
This is once again the case for Cussler’s latest offering – The Ghost Ship.
The grand master of adventure takes the reader across the globe, from South Africa to Monaco, to North Korea and also to the rugged coasts of Madagascar.
The plot revolves around Kurt Austin, who is injured while attempting to rescue the passengers and crew from a sinking yacht.
He then wakes with fragmented and conflicted memories. Did he see an old friend and her children drown, or was the yacht abandoned when he came aboard? For reasons he cannot explain, Kurt doesn’t trust either version of his recollection.
Determined to know the truth, he begins to search for answers and soon finds himself descending into a shadowy world of state-sponsored cybercrime, and uncovers a pattern of vanishing scientists, suspicious accidents and a web of human trafficking.
With the help of Joe Zavala, he takes on a sinister organisation at the heart of this web.
Austin and his National Underwater Marine Agency team have no choice but to brave dangers to save the world yet again, this time from a criminal family who have been hijacking the innocent and taking hostages for four generations.
The reader is guaranteed to be confronted with plenty of twists, turns and excitement as Cussler takes us on another unforgettable ride. RE
