Main character: Kurt Austen
Summary: A hard line traditionalist is plotting to seize power in Russia and are using underwater technology too further their cause
Detail: With a glimpse into Russian history to set the scene and a heroic rescue of an American TV crew by Kurt, Kurt and his NUMA team find a secret submarine base and rescue the crew of a US sub. This leads to the finding of a shipwreck from the early 1900s, and a plot by a fanatical Russian to dominate the world.
The best bits: Kurt defeating the Cossacks
The worst: Generally a bit on the slow side, compared to some of Clive Cusslers books.
