Worth Reading: Yes.

Summary: After an arms deal goes wrong, Juan Cabrillo - Chairman of the Corporation is stretched between regaining the weapons and aiding a mysterious woman on the hunt for a record haul of rough diamonds lost in the sands of the desert along the Skeleton Coast.

A scientist has been kidnapped. No ransom has been demanded. Eco-terrorists seem to be behind the snatch. His traded weapons are now being used in a private army that will aid in showing the world the error of it’s ways.

This is a rollicking tale, but it took me a while to get into it. I put this down to Skeleton Coast being my introduction to the world of Clive Cussler. The characters are interesting in both skill sets and personalities. I think I’ll be trying another of Clive’s novels.
