Long Live the Clive Cussler Way !!!

Are you into Clive Cussler ? Then this book is excellent ! The character is similar to Dirk Pitt, and the adventure is as striking as a Numa Adventure ;-) Easy to read action packed !!! More !!!!! We want More Craig !!!Cheers ! Donald

Highly recommended -- First page to last

From the first page my interest peaked.The portrayal of Einstein depicted him not only as a truly great scientist but also his down to earth type quality to which the normal man could equate.The plot was well envisioned and Craig Dirgo has a way with words that showed both humor and thought.His characters came to life.It is evident that much research was gathered for this novel and I look forward to his next.

Spellbinding summer reading

Dirgo's The Einstein Papers is the perfect read for the dogs days of summer or the cold nights of winter. Better yet en route to Beijing. Not only does it showcase the author's obvious knowledge of geo-politics, spydom and undersea adventure, it could not be more timely, given recent revelations about Chinese espionage in the United States. One can only hope that this new author's oeuvre will be a long one.

Adventure to the max. Hard to put down.

Just finished this book. You can tell that Mr. Dirgo took lessons and learned them well from Mr. Cussler.The two main characters, Taft and Martinez, are great. While Taft is the most involved of the two characters, it is the interplay between the two that makes the book better. The Einstein Papers were hid for over 50 years. Now the Chinese want them and find them just as the Americans are searching. For what plans do the Chinese have for the plans. Nothing less than the biggest blackmail scheme in the world.As it dawns on the Americans what is going on they enter into a chase to catch the Chinese agent on US soil. The chase and final showdown is suspenseful and exicting.As the Chinese plan their invasion of Taiwan the all important Einstein Papers are the key to success. With the papers in their hands, or so they think, the invasion is launched. At the same time the US experiments with the equation of Mr. Einstein's and finds it lacking. However, a quick suggestion by Taft injects a useage of the power to thwart the Chinese Navy. The power envisioned by Mr. Einstein was unlike the power of the atomic bombs. Once it is finally harnessed it would be of great benefit to mankind. Guess that is further down the line.Great adventure book. If you enjoy Clive Cussler you will enjoy this one.

Excellent!

The Einstein Papers is a 'must read' for adventure fans. One of the most exciting and entertaining books I've read. I couldn't put it down! Einstein comes alive. John Taft is a classic hero I can hardly wait to read about in future adventures.
