Dirk Pitt returns in the extraordinary new novel from the #1 New York Times--bestselling author. In A.D. 327, a Roman galley barely escapes a pirate attack with its extraordinary cargo. In 1916, a British warship mysteriously explodes in the middle of the North Sea. In the present day, a cluster of important mosques in Turkey and Egypt are wracked by explosions.

Too many things about this book annoyed me for it to get three stars...although it's much better than two. There are...odd...word choices. Many adverbs lack their lys. I got this bizarre feeling that someone went back and added a lot of unnecessary and slightly inappropriate/"off" adjectives, ran...
