Valhalla Rising by Clive Cussler - A Book Review

Valhalla Rising is a gripping story of marine scientists, Dirt Pitt and his many adventures on land and at sea. The novel begins by placing the reader a glimpse into a colony of Vikings in North America. After the brief history of the Vikings, the reader gets an insight into an early battle warship with a U-boat. At this point, the reader is not sure how Vikings or U-boats relate to each other, except by the sea.

Fast forward to the present, and the novel takes the readerstraight into a nightmare. A luxury cruise ship is on fire. One of the passengers is the engineer who designed the ship's propulsion system. A marine science vessel is nearby and heads to the luxury ship to help its passengers. Dirk Pitt, a marine scientist, is onboard the science vessel and coordinates a massive rescue effort. After rescuing all the passengers they possibly can, it becomes evident to Dirk and his colleagues that the fire onboard the luxury liner was no accident, and someone is after the secrets of the propulsion engineer. But why?

Explore Through a series of incidents at sea and ashore, Dirk, his colleagues and other federal agencies developed a wicked conspiracy homegrown terrorists. Will Dirk be able to stop them in time to prevent a tragedy of catastrophic proportions? What do the Vikings have to do with submarines and a cruise ship? You have to read the book to find out.

This book is fast-paced and full of adventure, intrigue,and mystery. It has fallen down and is sure to be hard to put.
