Publisher's Summary

A Sunday Times best seller

The superb third Dirk Pitt classic from multi-million-copy king of the adventure novel, Clive Cussler.

The towering iceberg drifting in the North Atlantic was a floating tomb. Embedded in the great gleaming mass was a ship - sealed in so solidly that not even its mast protruded.

Here was a sea mystery to rank alongside the Bermuda Triangle and the Marie Celeste. But for Major Dirk Pitt, top troubleshooter for the National Underwater and Marine Agency, it was also the first link in a fantastic chain of events that would lead him too close - and too often - to violent death. And to the discovery of the most sinister and bizarre conspiracy of the century...Iceberg.

An old and unusual Dirk Pitt book

As Clive Cussler said, Iceberg was the last book of the simple storyline adventures of Dirk Pitt. I think it only rates a 3 or 4 in story because the subsequent books are so much better, but I'm rating this a 5 because Cussler said that this was his favourite book of the series, for sentimental reasons - it represented a transition to more complex plots. So as a hat tip to the late master storyteller, Iceberg gets a perfect rating on the strength of the series and the loveable Dirk.

We must also remember it was written in 1975, and I'm now reading it for the second time in 2023.

I think it is the only book where we get to see Sandecker play a prominent action hero role, and it is the only book that Giordino isn't in the book, at all.

As always, Scott Brick gives a very enjoyable performance.

A couple interesting curveballs at the end. 

Just good, entertaining story that’s what I would expect from a book book this genre. A little escapism, entertainment, sometimes a tear, sometimes I laugh.

One of Cussler's weakest

First of all. Scott Bricks Narration is masterful. He's fantastic in general and this is one of his best. The story is weak in plot, overly lengthy and descriptive even for Cussler who is known for that. The content isn't great and the pieces of the puzzle just don't fit together easily and then are explained for to late in the novel or even never. I have easily listened to 20 cusslers across all his Story Arc's this is the only one I felt so far was not worth the time. However it is 40 years old. So it's one of his earlier Novels. it makes since it dosnt have the refined edge that many of the others have.
