Black Wind - first US edition
by Clive Cussler - signed
Seventeenth in the series; about halfway through
this rip-snorting adventure thriller, a "white-haired man" rescues heroes Dirk
Pitt Jr. and his sister, Summer, from death by drowning. That man is revealed to
be author Cussler (Trojan Odyssey, etc.), reminding Dirk of "an older version of
his own father," legendary oceanographer Dirk Pitt, hero of Cussler's previous
novels. This time the villain is a South Korean industrialist working for the
North Koreans with an eye toward unifying Korea by ridding the country of
American troops, allowing for an invasion of the South.
