The Rising Sea

De: Clive Cussler, Graham Brown

Narrado por: Scott Brick

Everywhere, waters are rising--and that's just the beginning of the world's peril unless the NUMA crew can beat the clock in this thrilling #1 New York Times-bestseller from the grand master of adventure.

An alarming rise in the world's sea levels--much larger than could be accounted for by glacier melt--sends Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA scientific team rocketing around the globe in search of answers. What they find at the bottom of the East China Sea, however, is even worse than they imagined: a diabolical plan to upset the Pacific balance of power--and in the process displace as many as a billion people.

A rare alloy unlike anything else on earth, a pair of five-hundred-year-old Japanese talismans, an assassin so violent even the Yakuza has disowned him, an audacious technological breakthrough that will become a very personal nightmare for Kurt Austin - from the shark-filled waters of Asia to the high-tech streets of Tokyo to a forbidden secret island, the NUMA team must risk everything to head off the coming catastrophe.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Another entertaining and diverting read from a true legend in the adventure business. . . . invok[es] the classic feel of James Bond reimagined as an oceanographer.” --Associated Press

“An action-adventure for the age of climate change. . . Plenty of action and drama. Fans will not be disappointed.”--Charleston Post and Courier

“One of the best recent novels to bear the Cussler name… The writing here is spot-on… and the story is first-rate, with just enough of a ripped-from-the-headlines feel to it that we imagine it could actually happen. A fine entry in an always-popular series, and a sure bet for those who crave high-concept adventure.” --Booklist

Science so so

Geology is weak but but story was good . A bare wire wrapped around a metal nail—- really?

Great

Another interesting story by Mr. Cussler! Kept my attention and the history aspect of the Japanese swords was intriguing.

Samurai meets AI

excellent blend of ancient metallurgy. modern robotics and against backdrop of US vs China competition

the rising sea

excellent book by cussler as always. narrator

The science

nothing at all. I am so sleepy. I am so sleepy. I am so sleepy. I am so sleepy. I am so sleepy. I am

Always an Adventure

Even though the basic storylines for most Clive Cussler books are predictable (historical backstory, modern problem, bad guys bent on world domination, insanely awesome protagonist, etc.), the books are always an enjoyable listen. This story in particular discussed the Chinese and Japanese cultures and history as a premise for the historical background. Even though Kirt Austin is going to win and be awesome while doing it, the story has some unique twists and turns. All-in-all, I loved being a part of the adventure.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

Awesome plot, awesome characters. loved every second of it. From the ancient Japanese scene to the revolution in technology, farther than the imagination can go

exciting

really good book. not too predictable I stayed engaged and the narrator really sold the story

Cussler et.al. never disappoints

Once again Cussler and friends take you on a roller coaster ride with action every minute. excellent story and a very believeable scenario.
