"Another Isaac Bell book - this one starts on an Ocean Liner with mysterious thief after a new patent that will make talking picture a reality. Isaac is back to find the thief and bring him to justice. I like that Cussler moves the story along and finally gets Isaac and Mariam married."
— John (4 out of 5 stars)
“Scott Brick delivers straightforward narration in the audio edition of this latest thriller from Cussler and Scott that follows the adventures of detective Isaac Bell during the early twentieth century...Brick shines in his creation of European accents for the supporting cast and appropriately adjusts his pacing for the book’s inevitable action sequences. Cussler and Scott are veteran suspense writers, and Brick—a seasoned narrator—proves their equal in this entertaining audiobook.”
— Publishers Weekly (audio review)Bell just keeps getting more interesting. Cussler is turning out some of his best work.

— Kirkus Reviews" I have always enjoyed Clive Cussler. This one was no different. A good read on a rainy day. I am enjoying watching the Issac Bell character develope and am looking to more adventures "
— Barbara, 2/19/2014" Another Isaac Bell mystery, this time involving the invention of talking motion pictures. I liked this one, but not as much as the others. Too much in this one was too far beyond belief. I'll listen to another on CD if one comes out. "
— Owen, 2/13/2014" I could not fathom why everyone was making such a big deal over the device in the book. Seemed like a huge stretch. "
— Matt, 2/5/2014" Interesting bits about the birth of the film industry make this not just a good plane read, but a good plane read with a bit more. (And may we all just thank Dominique Browning for making it okay to grab bad books with good action when heading on the road. I am one of those who has gotten on a long plane ride with virtuous reading material that I NEVER opened...) "
— Betsy, 1/25/2014" Another hit from Clive Cussler, starring Issac Bell as a turn of the century detective who helps save the inventor of "talkies" from the Germany Imperial Army. If you like the three previous Issac Bell books you will enjoy this one too. "
— Jasonb, 1/20/2014" Isaac Bell returns with another action-packed adventure. Not quite as thrilling as The Race, but with another nasty villain to best, Isaac Bell comes through battered and bruised, but married to Marion. "
— Ron, 1/3/2014" Always enjoy Clive Cusslers books. Lots of action!! "
— Phyllis, 12/28/2013" I like the Isaac Bell series from Cussler and this one holds up pretty well. I would have loved a longer portion of the book set on the Mauritania. All in all though this one worked. "
— Mark, 12/24/2013" No spolier alert, but the epologue was a bit cheesy. I loved everything else and will continue to read Isaac Bell every time they come out! "
— Pastor, 12/23/2013" Stilted style, poor "Doyle" imitation, character development flat - I did not like it - only got 2/3 way through. "
— Otto, 12/22/2013" A very good read. Enjoyable , kept moving and I liked the ending. "
