A wonderful adventure

I just finished Clive Cussler's latest. "Artic Drift" It touched on the Northwest passage expedition of the Erebus and Terror ships in the 1840's. There is only speculation as to what happened to the ships and the crew but Cussler took a few liberties and made an excellent Dirk Pitt adventure out of it. Dirk Pitt is a serial character of Cussler's. So is his fictional company called NUMA. All the books are about ocean adventures. I really enjoyed this one. Set mainly in Canada in the not to distant future. The world is suffering from global warming and there's one really sick guy out there who can distroy all the good everyone is trying to do. Send out Dirk Pitt and his sidekick, Al Giordino to save the day. If you like adventure, oceans and antique cars then you'll love Cussler!

Enjoying a little wintry mix. Not enough snow but I'm hopeful that we'll get more.
