Iceberg (Dirk Pitt Adventure) Mass Market Paperback – March 2, 2004

High seas explorer Dirk Pitt must stop an American millionaire from using impoverished nations for his own personal experiments in this #1 New York Times-bestselling action adventure series.

A routine survey mission over the North Atlantic exposes a missing luxury yacht frozen inside a million-ton mass of ice. The ship had vanished en route to a secret White House rendezvous, making it the responsibility of the National Underwater and Marine Agency to find out what happened. In other words, it's time for Dirk Pitt to cut his sunny, California vacation short and get back to work.

Of course, when Pitt arrives on the scene and discovers the charred remains of the entire crew, who burned alive but never left their posts, he begins to suspect the tragic loss of the ship to be only the first, deliberate step in a far more sinister plan.

Review

"Cussler has developed and patented a vibrant, rollicking narrative style that seldom shows signs of relenting." -Chicago Tribune

About the Author

Clive Cussler is the author of more than fifty books in five bestselling series, including Dirk Pitt, NUMA Files, Oregon Files, Isaac Bell, and Fargo. His life nearly parallels that of his hero Dirk Pitt. Whether searching for lost aircraft or leading expeditions to find famous shipwrecks, he and his NUMA crew of volunteers have discovered more than seventy-five lost ships of historic significance, including the long-lost Confederate submarine Hunley, which was raised in 2000 with much press publicity. Like Pitt, Cussler collects classic automobiles. His collection features more than eighty examples of custom coachwork. Cussler lives in Arizona and Colorado.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Cussler Thriller
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2013

Cussler is again the master of suspense in "Iceberg". There is plenty of action throughout this book and I was always surprised by the next sequence of events. Although most of Cussler's books have some element of historical truth, this one appears to be completely fictional. It is face paced and hard to put down once you start reading it. Most enjoyable reading for any Cussler fan!!

The Dirk Pitt character never fails to please the reader. Cussler builds the role of Pitt masterfully. Any of Cussler's novels never are a disappointment.

I've enjoyed Clive Cussler novels so much, that I've begun reading them in order from earliest publishing date to latest. As is true in every Cussler novel I've read so far, this one is very exciting and suspenseful and a real page turner. I have to force myself to put the book down and go to sleep at night.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vintage Cussler--bloody, profane, and not for the faint of heart or the politically correct
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2013
Verified Purchase
As with "Raise the Titanic," "Vixen 03," and Pacific Vortex," I've now read "Iceberg" three times in the past 27 years, and just like with those other vintage Cussler/Pitt novels, this one is every bit as readable, fast-paced, and damn near impossible to put down as the previous reads. And as with those other classic Cussler books, it's far bloodier and more profane and sexually-charged than the more tepid PG-level books that Clive has written since the early 1990s (particularly the ones ghost-written by his son Dirk). WARNING (SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!! SPOILER ALERT!!!): this book is not for the faint-of-heart or for the politically correct; the brutal beating that Pitt arbitrarily takes from main villain Oskar Rondheim roughly 2/3 ofthe way through the novel will make you cringe, Pitt's attitude toward women is decidely sexist and 1970s-era chauvinistic (and I say this as a *very* anti-PC, conservative-libertarian male), and Clive's portrayal of Pitt going undercover as a flaming effeminate homosexual would be publicly excoriated in this politically correct and hyper-sensitive day and age.

All that said, not Cussler's best (as others have pointed out, Al Giordino), but still highly enjoyable, and (SPOILER ALERT AGAIN!!!) the climactic fight scene at Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean ride is deeply satisfying.

P.S. to female readers: Ladies, take heart, Pitt's attitude toward women does improve in later novels (remember, "Iceberg" was first published in 1975) to the point where he treats them as equals!

Nobody writes em like Clive Cussler...sort of like James Bond meets Jacque Cousteau. Excellent book for history and science lovers...and there is always a twist...can you spot Clive Cussler's character in the book? I love that part...he always inserts himself into his work. I know of no other author who does that. Hope you enjoy the read! This is my 2nd time around :o)

people should know that this book is a hard cover book the size of a paperback not a 'normal' hard cover size... I buy hard cover books because of the size and ease of reading.. This book although well written lacks those two important items..
