Thanks for letting us know about Clive Cussler. I didn't know he had died. I enjoyed many of his books.

I have been enjoying the Steve Berry books. This one is mostly as good as the others, except for one annoying thing. Apparently Mr. Berry is a big Ronald Reagan fan and praises Reagan throughout the book. He advances the MYTH that Reagan, with a little help from Pope John Paul II, single-handedly broke up the Soviet Union. I think I'll need to take a break from Mr. Berry's books after this one.
