When Kurt Austin is injured attempting to rescue the passengers and crew from a sinking yacht, he wakes with fragmented and conflicted memories. Did he see an old friend and her children drown, or was the yacht abandoned when he came aboard? For reasons he cannot explain, Kurt doesn’t trust either version of his recollection. Determined to know the truth, he begins to search for answers, and soon finds himself descending into a shadowy world of state-sponsored cybercrime, and uncovering a pattern of vanishing scientists, suspicious accidents, and a web of human trafficking. With the help of Joe Zavala, he takes on the sinister organization at the heart of this web, facing off with them in locations ranging from Monaco to North Korea to the rugged coasts of Madagascar. But where he will ultimately end up¾even he could not begin to guess. Review: Clive Cussler's "Ghost Ship" was enjoyable to read. - A great story, knowledge of the subject, introduction of and development of characters is right on the mark. As always the storytelling is exciting, intimate, full of respectful commaraderie, and suspense. The US servicemen in the story are given respect For what they do in real life. Great work. Review: Quite possibly the most intense Kurt Austin adventure yet! - Yet another NUMA Files adventure of the intrepid Kurt Austin and his equally intrepid best friend and sidekick Joe Zavala, and yet another action-packed non-stop page turner by Clive Cussler. This time, Kurt, Joe, and the rest of the NUMA team (to include the hubby-and-wife duo of Paul & Gamay Trout, new supporting characters Duke and Elena, plus Dirk Pitt and Hiram Yaeger in a most behind-the-scenes role) must deal with the murderous Brevard family, a multigenerational family of wealthy gangsters living in their posh compound/palace in Madagascar; mastermind Sebastian, brothers Egan and Laurent, and mysterious sister Calista (is she really a member of their family or not?). The Brevards are making use of both a mind-control technology and the kidnapping & extortion of super-hackers and technology experts from around the world to advance their criminal enterprise. Among the victims of the Brevards' mind-control technology is none other than Kurt Austin himself; did he or did he not really see his friend and former lover, technological genius Sierra Westgate, perish in the sinking of a luxury yacht, and if she did survive (which nobody else but Kurt is initially inclined to believe), is she now in fact a pawn of the Brevards (and other villains like a certain Mr. Acosta)? Wow, while most of Cussler's other heroes--with the possible exception of the Fargos--have suffered their fair share of tragedies and emotional traumas (Dirk Pitt losing his beloved Summer Moran and Maeve Fletcher, Juan Cabrillo losing his wife in a vehicle accident may years prior to the timeline of his Oregon Files adventures, Isaac Bell losing friends and mentors in the line of duty), in "Ghost Ship" quite a different unexpected turn from Kurt Austin suffering from survivor guilt, PTSD, and questioning his own sanity. Still though, dating his therapist (p. 31) would seem be a conflict of interest if this book was a true story. Last but not least, as is the case with many Cussler novels, there is a maritime history element that plays a key role in the plot, in this case the titular "Ghost Ship," the real-life passenger liner S.S. Waratah, which disappeared while en route from Durban to Cape Town, South Africa in July 1909. Filled with the action, intrigue, cool gadgetry, exotic locales, and lovely ladies that Clive Cussler's readers have come to expect. The banter between Kurt and Joe is filled with comedy as always, and I daresay the banter between the Trouts and Elena is even funnier! And speaking of Clive, while he doesn't directly insert himself into this book like he does in many of his Dirk Pitt novels (a la Stephen King in the filmic adaptations of his own books), we still get this indirect and thinly-veiled referral to the author by Paul Trout on p. 222: "NUMA even took a stab at it with the help of this famous author whose name escapes me at the moment." Heh heh heh, I wonder who THAT could be..... A few nitpicks here: --on p. 249, Joe refers to North Korea as the "Democratic Republic of Korea" when in fact the full formal name of that country is the Democratic *People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) --on p. 26, should the "wall" be called the "bulkhead," since it's on a ship deck? --on p. 177: "The seafloor was black, the water around them into the distance was black. Directly above was black. Though it was broad daylight at the surface with a cloudless sky, no light could penetrate this deep." WRONG! This scene takes places at 800 feet deep, and sunlight certainly DOES still penetrate at that depth. albeit very dim! Heck, sunlight can penetrate up to 1,000 meters (3,280 feet)! I would expect an oceanographically-astute author like Clive not to make such an egregious error. (In fact, IIRC, in "Dragon" published back in 1991, Clive did acknowledge the presence of dim natural light at the depth of 1,000 feet.) Granted, Graham Brown is doing the lion's share of the actual writing here, but still....to quote the ESPN NFL crew, "C'mon, Man!" But enough nitpicking! Another fun and worthwhile Cussler read. And as a side note, if "Ghost Ship" were even made into a movie (fat chance given Clive's displeasure with the filmic adaptations of "Raise the Titanic!" and "Sahara," but eh, we can still dream, can't we?), I would cast Maria de Medeiros (best known to American audiences for portraying Bruce Willis' girlfriend Fabienne in Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction").

Enjoy! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Computer Hacking on Steroids *by W***C on June 1, 2014* I always get excited when a new Clive Cussler novel is coming out. But I ask myself, "Can he do it again and pull off another fascinating story?" I also ask myself, "What Global Topic hasn't he covered?" Well, here it comes. The world has grown so dependent on computer systems that we don't fully understand just how vulnerable that can really make us. We all know that hackers are out there and they are stealing identities from people every day and ruining credit scores and lives. But what if the hackers were to actually hack a "Government" and steal that "Government's" identity? How devastating could that really be, and is it really possible. Add to that some detective work, some advance bioengineering issues and you have a novel that is fun to read, fast paced and typical Cussler good times. Kurt Austin is struggling as we start the book. He has appeared to have an emotional melt down. He is seeing a psychiatrist to try and get himself back in the game. Really, come on, Kurt Austin? He is our hero of hero's, how can he have a mental breakdown. But it is true and those around him are concerned about his ability to function. Throw into the mix that he answers a rescue call for a ship in distress to discover that it is an old love, Sienna, who is on the ship with her husband and their children. When he and Zavala get there the boat is sinking. He goes aboard (in a huge storm) to try and effect a rescue. But all he does is see the floating body of what is most likely one of Sienna's children. He then is knocked out cold and has to be rescued himself. When he comes to, he accepts the fact that Sienna is dead and moves on. But is that true Kurt Austin fashion? Not on your life and that leads us to believe there truly is something wrong with him. In another "Side" story the Trouts are later diving on the sunken ship that Sienna was in when all their computers go haywire and the computers attempt to thwart their investigations as well as try to kill them. Futuristic computers out of control! That is the stuff of the future thrillers. The Trouts then discover, of all things, a ghost ship. A boat that has been missing for a 100 years. What possibility can this ghost ship have to our current sinking? Well, keep reading to find out. I won't give you any more details, you have to read on your own. But Cussler and his co-writer have done it again, they have given us a fun read that is probable even though fantastical to comprehend. Will Austin come out of his funk? Will he have a chance to save a beautiful girl? Will the world melt down due to a global computer virus? Keep reading to find out.
