Trojan Odyssey by Clive Cussler

An exciting action paced book which will keep you hooked till you don't finish it. Cussler's hero Dirk Pitt is like the James Bond series of sea adventures. I found the book to be really interesting. Cussler has written many more books with of course Pitt being the hero in most of his novels like Iceberg, Raise the Titanic, Vixen 03, Night Probe, Pacific Vortex, Deep Six, Cyclops, Treasure, Dragon, Sahara, Inca Gold , Flood Tide, Atlantis Found, Black Wind, Treasure of Khan.
People who like sea adventure will certainly like this book. Here goes the plot of the novel - It's been two years since Dirk Pitt discovered that he had two grown fraternal twin children Dirk and Summer who he loves dearly. They, like their father, love the ocean and work for NUMA where they investigate toxic contamination that is destroying the fragile sea life in the Caribbean ecosystem. While taking samples underwater, they discover a man made palace that sunk to the bottom of the sea millennia ago. While NUMA scientists analyze the find, the twins head to an island off of Guadeloupe to see if a sailing expedition lies beneath the waters and if so is it from the same era that was found in the Caribbean. Their father is saving a floating hotel from a force five hurricane before going to Nicaragua where the toxic contamination seems to be originating from. He finds a company owned by a mysterious four hundred pound man is working with the Chinese to construct underground tunnels that will connect one ocean to another. When he learns what the tunnels will be used for, he and the U.S. government try to stop them without creating an international incident.
