Years ago, a secret Soviet plan was created to destroy the Alaskan oil pipeline. Now, those plans have been stolen by the brilliant and treacherous ex-KGB agent Ivan Kerikov. Joining forces with a powerful Arab oil minister, Charon's Landing is about to be unleashed at last. But they didn't count on the one man who possesses the determination and daring to stop them cold. They didn't count on Philip Mercer.

"The Finest Adventure Writer On The Scene Today."

About the Author

Jack Du Brul is a graduate of the Westminster School and George Washington University. Trying to add as much adventure to his life as he does to his novels, Du Brul has climbed Masada at noon, swam in the Arctic Ocean off Point Barrow, explored war-torn Eritrea, camped in Greenland, and was gnawed on by piranhas in the Amazon River. He collects zeppelin memorabilia and when not writing or traveling (25 countries and counting), he can be found in a favorite chair with a book and a brandy. Jack Du Brul lives in Burlington, Vermont.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional!

A really great read with a fast pace that manages to keep the tension high. A remarkable degree of plots within plots all driven by greed. Mercer just knows there is trouble, but like the blind man and the elephant, the scope of the amount of trouble was not easily discerned. Excellent writing and story!

Enjoyed this book. Looking for a new author with stories similar, but a bit different to Clive Cussler. As DuBrul writes with Cussler thought this series may help fill some of my reading time. Love the Mercer character. Do think the author is a bit wordy at times in his character descriptions. Look forward to reading the next Mercer story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book! Vast in scope!

Book 2 of the Mercer series is right out of today's headlines. Militant environmentalists attacking Alaska's oil industry intertwined with an old KGB plot, coupled with a plot to reshape the Middle East. Murder, mayhem, a little romance, plus excellent detailed information about the oil industry, supertankers, and the like, plus a look into the inner workings of the U.A.E. Phillip Mercer is a trouble magnet, and this book is no exception. Awesome in scope, moving from Washington D.C. To Alaska, the U.K., and the Middle East. Du Brul is a master wordsmith, a great phraseologist, and a tremendous storyteller. Im a fan of the late Vince Flynn, the late Tom Clancy, Lee Child, Ted Bell, Ben Coes, and the like. Du Brul has elements of all these authors in his writing. I highly recommend this series.

Decided to delve into Du Brul b/c of Clive Cussler (RIP)… and all I can say is in the Subject line. This Mercer series is off the hook. I’m a binge reader so still have few to go; can’t wait.

I am reading the Jack Du Brul books for a second time. They are all fabulous reads. I noticed this time that some of the dialog was a little silly. I listened to the audio recording and found my commute much more interesting. The only down side of the audio recording is that it is hard to fast forward accurately past the sexual conquests of the hero. When I tried to ride them out, hoping they were short, they seem long and graphic. I still enjoyed the book and will read the rest.

This story was told with such attention to detail that it makes the feasibility of such a thing happening scary to contemplate. The imagination required to put all of the various scenarios together is incredible and Jack Du Brul does it masterfully.

Perfect book to read while traveling. It felt like I was reading an Indiana Jones movie. Lots of twists and turns, but nothing complicated. The literary equivalent of a bud light.

Jack du Brul has once again taken his readers for a ride. A concept that is pseudo-scientific at best has been expounded to 450 pages and to justify these 400 pages, there are explanations of the phenomenon described in the book that cannot bear any scientific scrutiny. I really do not understand why someone of Cussler's standing should call the book excellent. Or was it only because Brul is Cussler's co-author in a number of ventures?
