About this title

Review:

Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel"Pitt has been compared to other popular adventure heroes, but Cussler has created a one-of-a-kind... [DRAGON is] an imaginative and suspenseful novel." Publishers Weekly"A page-turning romp that achieves a level of fast- paced action and derring-do that Robert Ludlum ...might well envy.... Solidly entertaining." San Diego Union"Pure fun.... Cussler's ability to dredge up forgotten facts and link them to imagined future events lends fresh twists to the techno-thriller.... Watch ou for paper cuts as you turn the pages faster and faster to keep up with Cussler's intense pace." Atlanta Journal and Constitution"Chock-full of marine technology, gentle twistings of historical fact, and enough undersea action to keep readers turning pages. Lovers of undersea adventures who have yet to pick up a Cussler novel should get to know Dirk Pitt." Sunday Oklahoman "Action-packed... Cussler grabs the reader in the opening chapter, starting a rollercoaster ride of heart-stopping adventures, disasters, and coincidences.... "Dragon" is every bit as thrilling as his earlier "Raise the Titanic"! Chattanooga News-Free Press"From one hair-raising scene to another, "Dragon" is an incredible and satisfying thriller.... Full of swashbuckling drama and enough twists and turns to keep the reader's attention to the last page.... Ocala Star-Banner"Cussler once again bounces to the top of his field by combining current events with an active imagination.... A fine writer.... A spectacular ending." Richmond Times-Dispatch"Cussler is a master of building suspense and tension.... DRAGON is high-tech adventure, a little romance, and a whale of a story...." Kirkus Reviews"Cussler keeps a tight plot under a favoring wind. ...Much fun, crisply told, with exciting special effects." New York Daily News"Unrelenting... DRAGON is a swell adventure story."

From the Back Cover:

'THE POWER TO BLOW UP ANY CITY IN THE WORLD IN TIME FOR THE SIX O'CLOCK NEWS...'

That is the threat posed by the Kaiten Project, master-minded by Hideki Suma, a sinister Japanese industrialist with a stockpile of atomic weapons and an army of robots at his command. But he has not reckoned on the courage and resource of troubleshooter Dirk Pitt, whose underwater skills are put to the test as never before and emerge triumphant.

Another gripping tale from Clive Cussler, the master of action-packed suspense.
