White Death (Abridged) Audiobook

" Really enjoyed this title; whilst some plots are verging into unrealistic in Cussler's books (yet still enjoyable) this was both realistic & enjoyable. Would read again! "

" Kurt Austin saves the world--again, and again. how about an evil corporation trying to controll the seas of the world and killing all who tamper with their nefarious plan. There is a cataclysmic environmental disaster on the horizon and only one person to count on . . . well, maybe two if Dirk Pitt is anywhere in the vacinity. Consider this an in-between book. In between Rollins books! "

" 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. "

" Not one of his best books but the story line kept it interesting and still very much worth the read. "

" This is the first book of Cussler's that I've read and I'm afraid I wasn't impressed. The Prologue was an excellent scene set at sea in the 16th century but unfortunately we don't meet any of these folks again. The main story takes place in the present day and here the characters are at best stereotypes but more often caricatures. The plot quickly veers from the improbable to the unimaginable. There are some lovely descriptions of the Faeroe Islands, which makes me want to visit these remote outposts, and some thrilling scenes, but overall I regretted the time I spent with this book. "

" Cussler reads quick and easy. Not brain benders, but good for trips or if you don't want to underline anything important in a book. "

" If you don't have anything better to do, you could kill time decently by reading this book: adventure, landscapes (usually near the sea)... This is the second book by Clive Cussler I ever read, and I never went into a third one, so far... "

" german zeppelin?...modified fish?...how cool is that?... "

" I prefer the Dirk Pitt novels to this or any of Cusslers others. I always give them a try just in case they are as good, But I've read Dirk since HS and he was one of my first loves. Its hard to read about anyone else when Cussler does him so well. "

" Clive Cussler is an entertaining author. Another fun book with lots of action. "

" This is my favorite Clive Cussler up to date. It has lots of intrigue and surprising discoveries like a deep freeze. It can't be beat for a good read. "

" Thus far this has been one of my least favorite Cussler books, though they are clean, fast reads. "

" How many times can you get beatin in one book. "

" A ruthless corporation is about to take command of the seas. This is a mission for Kurt Austin and the NUMA team. "

" I know it's a bit formulaic, but I like the Cussler books. Good entertainment for boys like me. . . . "

" Started 11-18-09. Kurt seemed awfully cranky in this book. Plus Joe wasn't present for too much of the book. So it's a low three stars. Still, I did like it. "

" Another awesome one. It is like trash reading for mysteries/adventure. The story was a good one (scary idea) and, as always, well-written... if not a little predictable. After all, Kurt can't die "

" Kept my interest, but didn't lose sleep to read it. As his books usually do, this felt like watching an action movie. "

" A palate cleansing action adventure. Refreshing as a gentle spring shower. Nice fast easy read. An interesting switch, big business bad... government good... Doesn't Cussler watch faux news? The villains are evil, the good guys are good. An added plus, the good guy gets the girl. "

" My blog post about this book is at this link "

" So, pretty typical of Clive Cussler's books. Fun and entertaining, but somehow this one was more flat for me than most of his books. Maybe it was my mood reading it. "

" I was on vacation when I finished my other book, so I borrowed this from my then-boyfriend. It is a super easy and fast read. But it has no depth (as I assume most Clive book don't). It was more predictable and had more cheesy one-liners than a Bond movie. "

" Best part was the information about fish farms, both the truthful and the far-fetched. "

" This is the second time I read this book. Somehow I had forgotten to make it as read on Goodreads. Oops! :-D It is still a fun read in the Typical CLive Cussler mode of story telling. "

" Good story line - Kirk saves the world again! "

" Didn't like this one. Wasn't crazy about the characters but I did finish the book. I like his Oregon series much better although that is a pretty light read itself. "

" Solita avventura di Cussler, anche se va riconosciuto il merito di una storia avvincente e per certi aspetti un po' più originale del solito. "

" I haven't read a Clive Cussler book in a long time, so the NUMA adventures are new to me. Can't wait to read more. I enjoy the technology wound into the story and the exciting adventures and rescues experienced by Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala. I hope to read more of this series. "

" First book I read by Cussler. Picked up randomly on a library shelf. Was awesome! Cussler is one of my favorite authors as a result. "

" german zeppelin?...modified fish?...how cool is that?... "

" I guess Dirk Pitt may have been getting a bit old to be going off on adventures. Kurt isn't too much unlike Dirk, and just as resourceful. "

" Not one of his best books but the story line kept it interesting and still very much worth the read. "

" Started 11-18-09. Kurt seemed awfully cranky in this book. Plus Joe wasn't present for too much of the book. So it's a low three stars. Still, I did like it. "

" arggh.....how deep can you get with the old Clive Cussler....I think I was stuck in an airport without a book and this little gem ended up in my briefcase....pretty boring crap...crusty old detective ( likely with a pot belly) saves the world with some pretty tough talk and a bad ass attitude "

" I was on vacation when I finished my other book, so I borrowed this from my then-boyfriend. It is a super easy and fast read. But it has no depth (as I assume most Clive book don't). It was more predictable and had more cheesy one-liners than a Bond movie. "
