Clive Cussler: Iceberg (UK 2024)

From the Publisher:
The superb third Dirk Pitt classic from multi-million-copy king of the adventure novel, Clive Cussler.
The towering iceberg drifting in the North Atlantic is a floating tomb. Embedded in the great gleaming mass is a ship - sealed in so solidly that not even its mast protrudes.

Here is a sea mystery to rank alongside the Bermuda Triangle and the Marie Celeste. But for Major Dirk Pitt, top troubleshooter for the National Underwater and Marine Agency, it is also the first link in a fantastic chain of events that will lead him too close - and too often - to violent death. And to the discovery of the most sinister and bizarre conspiracy of the century... ICEBERG.

From the Publisher:
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.

From the Publisher:
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 discovery of a long-missing luxury yacht, en route to a secret White House rendezvous, frozen solid in a million-ton tombstone of ice.

Tunneling his way into the core of the berg, Pitt comes upon a gruesome scene -- a crew of corpses, horribly incinerated at their posts -- but the vessel's priceless 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 ruthlessness 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.

Clive Cussler: Iceberg (USA 1975)

From the Publisher:
The towering iceberg drifting in the North Atlantic was a floating tomb. Imbedded in the great gleaming mound was a ship, sealed so solidly in the ice that not even its mast protruded.

The crew of the Coast Guard Patrol plane had spotted the blurred outline of the unknown vessel, dropping a red dye marker for identification. As soon as their aircraft disappeared, two men, camouflaged in white snowsuits, rose from a hiding place on the iceberg and started sending signals on their radio transmitter.

Later that week, official investigators Major Dirk Pitt of the Air Force and world-famous oceanographer Dr. Bill Hunnewell found that the red stains had been chipped off the berg. Someone wanted to prevent the discovery of the mystery ship and its macabre secret. Realizing they had failed, the unknown enemies resorted to brutal violence to prevent the major's helicopter from reaching Iceland.

So Dirk Pitt set out on a mission that was to bring him into conflict with conspirators who concealed their aims as well as their identities. It would send him, wounded and on foot, across the lonely tundras of Iceland, and it would take him far beneath the surface of the waters surrounding its shores. He would become involved with a hauntingly beautiful woman, with a few allies and with many enemies. His strength and skills, his reckless disregard of danger had become a legend, but would they be enough to end a cleverly plotted campaign of terror and cold-blooded murder?

ICEBERG is a bold novel told with cinematic immediacy, a superb blend of action and high drama with as many surprises as an unexploded hand grenade.

CLIVE CUSSLER grew up in Alhambra, California, and left Pasadena City College to join the Air Force. He later became an advertising copywriter, winning a score of national honors for his work in radio and television commercials. He lives in Denver, Colorado, with his wife and three children.
