Kurt Austin Adventure: Fire Ice

More about the book

In SERPENT Clive Cussler introduced Kurt Austin, the leader of the National Underwater and Marine Agency's (NUMA's) Special Assignments Team. In previous encounters, they battled eco-extortionists and mad empire builders. Now they face an even deadlier threat. In the heart of the old Soviet Union, a mining tycoon has proclaimed himself czar of Russia. Claiming Romanov ancestry and backed by billions of dollars, he is determined to overthrow the already shaky Russian government - and U.S. opposition doesn't bother him one bit. A little crisis of their own should distract the Americans for awhile, and he knows just the thing. . .filled with all the hair-raising action and endless imagination that are Cussler's hallmarks, FIRE ICE is a dazzling thriller.
