Goodreads review by Glen on January 29, 2020

A Soviet submarine is frozen in an iceberg. Dirk Pitt and cronies race against time to explore the sub before the Russians can get to it. The submarine is actually just the beginning of the problems Pitt faces. Really well done suspense, even if the ending might possibly trigger some snowflake today.......more
