On the eve of World War I, on the ocean liner Mauretania, two scientists are rescued from an attack by the Van Dorn Detective Agency’s intrepid chief investigator, Isaac Bell. Unfortunately, they are not so lucky the second time around. The thugs strike again…with fatal efficiency.
So begins The Thief—the latest Isaac Bell adventure by Clive Cussler and Justin Scott—but this time, the stakes are at an all-time high. As Bell soon discovers, the scientists have an invention that’s so extraordinary, it could change the world. But who is after it? And why? With war on the horizon, it’s up to Bell to find out...and stop this unknown assailant before he uses this radical new machine to give Germany the edge it’s been looking for.

As I have come to expect from Clive Cussler, this novel is excellantly paced, informative and contains a variety of characters. Once into the story, it is hard to put down.

Another good tale of adventure with Isaac Bell and crew. The only downer is the long wait till his next adventure. Keep up the good work.
