Brief Synopsis: Cotton Malone tries to find out what happened to his father back in 1971 when his submarine sank. The Oberhauser family is trying to verify the existence of an ancient culture whose advanced technology led to many of the advancements in other cultures during modern history. An Admiral in the US Navy has dreams of being Vice President and needs to cover up what happened to Malone's father's sub, or his dreams will crash to a halt. All three story lines cross and lead to an excitng conclusion.

I really enjoyed this book. This historical aspect was interesting and the plot was well done. The Oberhauser family was a little too corny for me with the Twins who hated each other, and the evil spinster Mother pulling strings along the way with her Stasi protector at her side. Still, an enjoyable book and a fun read.
