Books like Polar Shift

Spirited ole' NUMA Files. WWII backdrop.\ Backstory\ I read this book over a period of 8 years.Not because it was boring. Not because I have an OCD that a started book must be finished.I started it multiple times over different cities that I carried but could never end. Jinxed perhaps.Finally, I completed it and here's the review.\ Plot\ Polar shift : By definition a natural phenomenon where the poles of the earth undergo a change in their geological location.Nothing to be afraid of. Unless it is man-made. Monster waves that sink ships are a reality when some madmen phantasms the whole idea of global power.The crazy lobbyists are planning to do this with technology they hope can deliver world power to them. These have already started to back fire. The schools of fish are affected by it and could be used for over-fishing. Another not-so-good a thing for the environmentalists.The age old Kovacs theorem is at the center of the aforementioned technology and NUMA rings up the guy of all seasons, Austin to solve the problem.Can he do it?\ Story ingredients\ A mix of World War II, Nazi soldiers hunting for Kovacs and a chase by Russians - make the book exceedingly well based. The background of the theorem and its application seem far fetched given the book was penned down in 2005 but the plot makes you enjoy it. Someone rightly said "a book that you can take to the beach".The guardian angel in the old man who is the god father of the lineage of Kovacs is a good one to introduce into a story that needed a central character. A lot of things happen at the same time which is exactly what thrill lovers want.To top it, the blue of the ocean is the theme and you are going to love every bit of it. Even if you are afraid of the ocean - believe me it is intriguing.There's loads of shooting and killing. Bloodshed is second nature and writing is powerfully built. My first shot at Clive Cussler does not impede me from trying his other books and recommending this one to you. Well paced, well written and a good mayday read.\ Verdict : Not completely a geeky stuff once you scratch beneath the surface.3.5 stars for the brainiac wrong doers who think bigger than hacking computers and robbing banks.They hack poles.\
