Dragon by Clive Cussler (A Dirk Pitt Adventure)

In 1945, a B-29 bomber carrying a third atomic bomb disappeared over the Pacific. Now, decades later, that lost weapon has become the centerpiece of a terrifying plot to hold the world hostage. Dirk Pitt must dive into the abyss to find the plane before a new era of nuclear terror begins.

• The Vibe: A masterclass in "What If?" historical fiction mixed with modern techno-thriller action.

• Condition: Vintage / Acceptable. This copy has some "battle scars" that match its plot! There is a notable surface tear on the front cover image (see photos) and some peeling on the foil lettering. However, the binding is solid, making it a perfect, affordable reading copy.

• Why read it: It’s one of the most ambitious Dirk Pitt stories, blending WWII mystery with high-tech deep-sea salvage.
