Sinopsis de ODESSA SEA: DIRK PITT #24
Dirk Pitt has always had a knack for finding trouble, but this time, it has found him, in this big New York Times bestseller from the grand master of adventure.
Dirk Pitt, the director of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, is on the Black Sea, helping to locate a lost Ottoman shipwreck, when he responds to an urgent Mayday—“Under attack!”—from a nearby freighter. But when he and his colleague Al Giordino arrive, there is nobody there. Just dead bodies and a smell of sulfur in the air. As Pitt and Giordino explore, a blast from the stern scuttles the ship swiftly, almost taking them with it.
The more the two of them search for the secret of the death ship, the deeper they descend into an extraordinary series of discoveries. A desperate attempt in 1917 to preserve the wealth and power of the Romanov Empire. A Cold War bomber lost with a deadly cargo. A brilliant developer of advanced drone technology on an unknown mission. Modern-day nuclear smugglers, determined Ukrainian rebels, a beautiful anti-terrorism agent from Europol—all will combine to present Pitt with the most dangerous challenge of his career.
And not only Pitt. His two children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, are exploring a mysterious shipwreck of their own, when they are catapulted into his orbit. The three of them are used to perilous situations—but this time, they may have found their match.
Filled with breathtaking suspense and remarkable imagination, Odessa Sea is further proof that when it comes to adventure writing, nobody beats Clive Cussler.

Escrito por Clive Cussler
Clive Cussler (1931 - 2020) poseía una naturaleza tan aventurera como la de sus personajes literarios. Batió todos los récords en la búsqueda de minas legendarias y dirigiendo expediciones de NUMA, la organización que él mismo fundó para la investigación de la historia marina americana, con la que descubrió restos de más de sesenta barcos naufragados de inestimable valor histórico y que le sirvió de inspiración para crear dos de sus series más famosas, las protagonizadas por Dirk Pitt y por Kurt Austin. Asimismo, Cussler fue un consumado coleccionista de coches antiguos, y su colección era una de las más selectas del mundo. Sus novelas han revitalizado el género de aventuras y cautivan a millones de lectores. Los carismáticos personajes que protagonizan sus series son: Dirk Pitt (El complot de la media luna, La flecha de Poseidón, ...), Kurt Austin (La tormenta, Hora cero, ...), Juan Cabrillo (El mar del silencio, La selva, ...), Isaac Bell (El espía, La carrera del siglo, ...) o el matrimonio Fargo (El reino, Las tumbas, ...).
