This would make a great movie
I couldn't get enough of this book, my first Cussler novel, won't be my last. The narration was great, allow, as Scottish preson that has lived in Inverness, I found some of the Scots accents, pronunciations were a little ropey and the author's scale of distance and time not very accurate with regards to travel around Loch Ness. Overall a very exciting listen and I managed it in one sitting, I just didn't want to stop.

These later books are lighter in detail than the original Pitt adventures. They can also be confusing by having father and son share the same name, the book jumps around a lot between locations and it did not work as well as an audio book.
