About this listen
A foundered Victorian ship looking for the fabled Northwest Passage holds a secret in its icy grave . . .
When Dirk Pitt of NUMA is almost blown to pieces in a lab explosion, he suspects sabotage. The lab in question belongs to a scientist hoping to use a rare mineral to combat greenhouse gases - but who would want to destroy our one chance to save the planet?
But there are those who will do anything to control such a valuable prize. Pitt's investigations take him to the Arctic in search of a clue to the origins of this precious mineral. There he and NUMA colleague Al Giordino must battle for survival against the hostile elements and an evil megalomaniac who is about to plunge the North American continent into war . . .
Arctic Drift is a white-knuckle ride of a novel that sees Clive Cussler's greatest hero, Dirk Pitt, fighting his enemies in the cruel Arctic.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 559
Fully armed and with all hands onboard, the nuclear submarine Starbuck sailed into the calm Pacific Ocean for sea trials - and vanished. No wreckage, no signals, no survivors: nothing...until ace maritime troubleshooter Dirk Pitt finds a single chilling clue in the shark-torn surf off Hawaii - the log of the Starbuck. 'Do not search for us, it can only end in vain....' A crazed journal of madness and death is all that remains.

Det vakthavande befälet på den amerikanska flygbasen trodde inte sina ögon. Planet som kom flygande rakt emot honom var en antik tysk Albatross från första världskriget! Men det fanns inget antikt över kulsprutorna som förvandlade de parkerade jetplanen till flammande skrothögar. Allt skulle ha varit förlorat om inte Dirk Pitt och Al Giordino just då hade kommit flygande i sin gamla Catalina.

Van Dorn agent Isaac Bell knows that when the President of the United States asks you to undertake a special mission, the only appropriate answer is, “Right away, sir.” As an official observer, Bell is supposed to avoid action, but that’s like asking a fish to shun water. After battling in the trenches, he finds himself flying beside a group of Allied aviators, unwilling to let them fight alone, even when they are faced with capture. Bell and his compatriots are imprisoned in a medieval castle—one that’s withstood the test of time and countless assaults by conventional weapons in its history.

Another good read.
I’ve read almost all of Cussler’s books. I’m glad it is fiction, because the leaning on the global warming narrative gets tiresome.

If you are a Greta Thornburg fan you’re going to love this book force fed down your throat
I have read / listened to just about every Clive book. This was the first one I felt was inappropriately over the top to the point it was annoying distracting re: global warming. Multiple points in the book slither down endless and unnecessary rabbit holes in an attempt to force the reader / listener to embrace the authors belief as fact. Time to find a new series author. Save yourself the 2 bucks and buy a cup of coffee with it.
