Publisher's Summary
A Sunday Times best seller.
The 13th adrenaline-filled Dirk Pitt classic from multi-million-copy king of the adventure novel, Clive Cussler.
A hundred and forty years after a British ship wrecks on the way to an Australian penal colony and the survivors discover diamonds on the tropical island where they wash up, Maeve Fletcher, one of their descendants, is stranded on an island in Antarctica with a party of passengers after their cruise ship seemingly abandons them.
Dirk Pitt, on an expedition to find the source of a deadly plague that is killing dolphins and seals in the Weddell Sea, finds Maeve and the passengers and rescues them from death. When Pitt later uncovers the cause of the plague, he discovers that Maeve's father, Arthur Dorsett, and her two sisters are responsible because of their diamond-mining technology. A deadly race develops to stop Dorsett from continuing his murderous mining operations and to head off a disaster that will kill millions. Pitt's struggle to foil Dorsett's ruthless plan to destroy the market for diamonds and thus gain a monopoly of his own takes him from harrowing adventures off the west coast of Canada to being cast adrift in the Tasman Sea.

Good book, Aussie accent not so much
Have been a CC fan for years, the audiobooks have been quite good however the attempt at the Australian accent in this rendition has a lot to be desired.

Needs work on the Australian accent
Being Australian, it was very difficult to listen to the over emphasised Ozzie accent, we don’t talk like that! Maybe in some outback far North Queensland backwater or Pauline Hanson.
Just like English and Australians will over emphasise the American accents which will grate on their nerves.
Otherwise a great book much enjoyed.

Enthralling nonstop adventure,danger,action
The most appauling embarrising, insulting Australian accent I have heard since the ancient chips Rafferty movies , just after sound was added to cinematic entertainment .

Accent
Accent more NZ than Australian and very ocker and exaggerated . Disappointing rendition . Normally enjoy all narrations of other books.

Distracted by narration.
I usually like listening to Scott Brick and am disappointed when I encounter a Clive Cussler novel not read by him.
However, it was difficult following the story when he attempted an Aussie accent.

Worst Dirk Pitt yet.
Story was long winded and overly soppy. Also don't try to do an Australian accent if you can't do it properly. Made it extremely painful to listen too. Overall this was a very tedious book and I was glad once it finished.

Don’t bother
Silly story, made even worse by the ridiculous attempt at an Australian accent. Had to turn it off
