Raise the Titanic!

In the mood for some daring do and adventure on the high seas? Come join the ride with Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt in Raise the Titanic! Written before they actually found the Titanic, the book provides a big "what if" to the concept of having the ship rise to the surface. And that is just part of the story!

Scientists are hunting for a rare element to create a anti missile security system. As they track the element down - they found out that someone else has been in on the trail - in 1911. And one of the miners - was on the Titanic. N.U.M.A. and Dirk Pitt to the rescue!

It is a tightly written story - a bit dated - but it takes you on a roller coaster ride. If you can't handle the "Armageddon Factor" (the unbelievable task of landing two space shuttles on an asteroid flying into the planet Earth) then you won't be able to have fun reading this book. But try it - you might like it. A fun read.
