Title: Reads like a B- movie
Review: Melodrama, poor writing, extremely unbelievable action sequences and a massive once in a millenia storm. Am I describing a new Steven Seagal movie? No I'm talking about Clive Cussler's novel: "Trojan Odyssey". Which isn't to say that the novel was all bad. The alternative history detailed in the first few pages of the book had me hooked. There were also some well thought-out scenes where Cussler was able to demonstrate his considerable knowledge of marine wildlife and archeology. These items alone weren't enough to carry the book however.If you are looking for intelligent edge-of-your-seat storytelling I wouldn't recommend this book for you. Then again I, like most of us I think, enjoy a good B-movie once in a while.
