Sea of Greed : Numa Files #16

This is yet another sea-based adventure from the prolific Clive Cussler franchise that blends Cussler's shipwreck expertise with a, admittedly somewhat over-the-top plot, that thrives on good action writing.

I am being circumspect in this review more because it awakens in me my inner self, which is a mixed blessing. This story refers to a couple of vessels sunk at sea in 1968. Just four years later, my small ship, Patrol Gunboat, actually, nearly sunk due to a collision in or adjacent to the Bermuda Triangle. What I'm getting at is that I sometimes reawaken old memories by reading books such as this one.

Anyway, in regards to this Action-Adventure, the latest in the Cussler/Brown teamwork will, for most readers, be just good plain fun. As always, readers can count on a story with solid technical fundamental, mixed with interesting characters dealing with plausible what-if musings.

Being that this is the 14th book in the series, and the fact that few will (or should) attempt to read this without having read several, if not all, of the preceding stories, I shan't attempt to go into great detail.

BLUSH FACTOR: No worries here. Insofar as today's societal speaking habits, there are zero profanities. This book is suitable for all ages, Young Adult and older.

CHARACTER: The added dimension in this story is the character development. Not only is it authentic, it features a, uh, rascally woman of beauty.

As stated earlier, I need to cut this short. Suffice it to say, this is a action-packed page-turner I found worth my time and money.
