Clive Cussler’s The Corsican Shadow: A Dirk Pitt adventure (27)
£9.99
From the shadow of war comes an enduring historical mystery – and a present-day plot of destruction . . .
France, May 1940. As the German army blitzes Europe and Parisians flee their city, the chief curator of the Musee de l’Armee is ordered to take a mysterious piece of cargo out of the country. But when he learns his intended ship has been sunk, the fate of his cargo must rest on a decrepit steamer, sailing out under German fire. . .
Decades later, a diving expedition in the English Channel leads Director Dirk Pitt to a cache of uncut diamonds on a shipwreck. No sooner than they are discovered, the diamonds are stolen!
Pitt and the NUMA agency now find they must face a murderous cabal with far more destructive plans than mere theft. Vital water treatment facilities around the globe are being targeted – placing the world’s population in grave peril.
From the shadow of the Eiffel Tower to the islands of the Caribbean, only Dirk Pitt and his children, Summer and Dirk Jr., can locate the treasure that will save the world from catastrophe.

by A man who loves to read a hardback amd defies critics and always leaves a review if any are sent
Dirk cussler has mastered his father’s craft brillantly and dirk stories continue from father to son . I bought hardback and audible and kindle . I will say the Kurt and Oregon series are also standing well with the continued input from his co writers . Well done

This is pure Pitt, it is difficult to comprehend that it was not written by Clive Cussler! .The characters of Pitt and Giordano are spot on. The story of course follows previous books in style and content. The main difference being that this is bang up to date without being too over the top.
Really good read hopefully future books will follow a similar framework.. Well done Dirk.
