Book Reviews of White Death (The Numa Files)
Book Review: Killer Fish by Brian Hoch
Summary: 5 Stars
White Death is an exciting fiction novel Written by Clive Cussler. I enjoyed this book very much. I found it to be a page-turner and it was very interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a lot of action, or is a fan of Clive Cussler.
One reason I liked this book is how there was constant action. Books that have slow moving plots easily bore me. In White death, Clive Cussler makes the main character, Kurt Austin, a James Bond like character. In the book Kurt works for N.U.M.A., a governmental agency that specializes in marine work. Kurt stops the bad guys by using a lot of marine vehicles to infiltrate the fish plant where some shady things are happening.
Another reason I found this book worthwhile was how Kurt Austin would outsmart his enemies in order to save him self. During the book Kurt would constantly be caught up in tight jams. By infiltrating the fish plant, he got the plant owners extremely worried that he might have discovered there secrete project. Because of this they will do what ever it takes to knock Kurt off the map.
The third reason I like this book am how the main topic was at a marine setting. My family has a boat so I am constantly in touch with the marine environment. I like reading books like this because I am so familiar with marine life Kurt encounters. In the book a plant is breeding a mutant fish that will have a huge impact on the marine environment and destroy the local fishing. This will make the fish plant the one provider of fish in the area.
I thought that White Death by Clive Cussler was a very good book. It had all of the things that I like to see in a book. White Death had constant action, a witty main character, and a setting in a marine environment. Having the book take place in settings that were so familiar to me helped me relate my self to the main character. One time in the book Kurt is inside the fish plant when he stumbles upon the tank of the secrete project. He finds the mutant fish but as he's observing this he hears footsteps approaching. He quickly gets off the ladder and hides behind the tank. After the guard walked by Kurt sneaked up behind him and knocked him out. This is a example at how The main character used his wit to get out of a jam. I can also connect myself because I play paintball and I have to outsmart my opponents by sneaking up on them, or letting them walk into an ambush.
