Book Report Time, Fire Ice


Fire Ice by Clive Cussler with Paul Kemprecos. This is a Kurt Austin Adventure.

The story begins around 1900, on the Black Sea on the Russia side on the sea. Theirs the bad guy who want to take over Russia, and restore it to power of the old days, a world power. Its always amazing how fast these people can travel all over the would in a blink of and eye, they travel half way across the world in a mater of hours, LOL. Its not a Durk Pitt story, but all the same is was a fun book to read.

The Fire Ice, is a substance:

Methane clathrate, also called methane hydrate or methane ice, is a solid form of water that contains a large amount of methane within its crystal structure (a clathrate hydrate). Originally thought to occur only in the outer regions of the Solar System where temperatures are low and water ice is common, significant deposits of methane clathrate have been found under sediments on the ocean floors of Earth.

The story is will writen, but when another writer, joins in with Cussler, the Cussler style and touch is just not there.

I always think it would be so difficult to co-write a book, especially fiction. And I'd probably be nazi-ish about it anyway. Speaking of which, I think NaNoWriMo starts soon...are you gonna do it again?

Nobody can replace or share in the glory with MY hero Dirk Pitt. So it's a no go for me!
