For those of you who have never tried Clive Cussler, you really don't know what you are missing. His books are adventure from beginning to end. They normally start out with something happening far in the past. In this book, a German pilot finds the Ark (yes, Noah's Ark) in the Arctic Circle during WWII. Then you fast-forward to a little into the future from today. Bad guys are always trying to do something horrible to affect the earth. In this case, there is a group called Responsivists who thinks that the human race is breeding itself into extinction. So, to join to cult-like group, you must get a vasectomy or tubal litigation. At this point, the Oregon, a ship from many of Cussler's previous books, comes across a cruise ship on which everyone has been killed horribly by a mysterious disease (yes, I know, pretty far-fetched). There turns out to be one survivor, so they then go about figuring out what happened. Overall, an excellent book as long as you have a good "willing suspension of disbelief". Adventure from beginning to end.
