Title: Iceberg
Description: Just seventy-two hours ago, Dirk Pitt was lying in 
the hot California sun with a beautiful woman, a 
Scotch-rocks in one hand, but an urgent call from 
Admiral James Sandecker, his commander at the 
National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), 
brings Pitt out of the warm Pacific breezes and straight 
into a North Atlantic deep freeze. The reason: the dis- 
covery of a long-missing luxury yacht, en route to a 
secret White House rendezvous, frozen solid in a mil- 
lion-ton tombstone of ice. 
Tunneling his way into the core of the berg, Pitt 
comes upon a gruesome scene -- a crew of corpses, hor- 
ribly incinerated at their posts -- but the vessel's price- 
less cargo, which could alter the balance of world 
power and put the threat of annihilation at America's 
doorstep, has vanished. 
This discovery is the springboard from which Clive 
Cussler -- The Grand Master of Adventure -- launches a 
compelling and powerful story that takes Dirk Pitt from 
the remote, uninhabited tundra of Iceland to the frigid 
abyss of the North Atlantic, determined to force his 
deadly, unseen opponent -- a multibillionaire in the 
business of playing God -- to make his next move. But 
first Pitt will have to penetrate the shroud of mystery 
concealing a titanic network of international financial 
intrigue -- and mass murder. 
Lives, nations, continents are at stake. And 
although his enemies may have the firepower as 
always, Dirk Pitt has the skill and the daring, the ruth- 
lessness and resourcefulness to meet it. He also has 
Kirsti Fyrie, an Icelandic beauty whose twin brother 
died on the ice-encased yacht and who carries in her 
heart the secret that Pitt needs to destroy his opponents 
in this deadly game. 
Iceberg is classic Cussler.
