" One of the early Kurt Austin books. Typical of Cussler's work in that there is a big build up and a quick ending. White Death is a name given to genetically modified fish (Frakenfish) that are developed by a mad scientist intending on earning billions as his fish wipe out native stocks and make only his available. It seems like a bit of a stretch but one doesn't read these novels for complete believability. All the pieces are in place - the Trouts, a call to St. Julien, the beautiful damsel in distress, and an impossible situation only Kurt and Joe can work out. This one, as do many of Cussler's novels also includes the historic - the Sword of Roland and its link to the Basque. A quick, mindless, enjoyable read. "
