Kurt Austin takes time from lassoing giant icebergs to save the world again in The Navigator by Clive Cussler. This time it involves a Phoenician statue that has ties to King Solomon and stolen out of the museums of Iran during the beginnings of the US occupation. Apparently, the Phoenicians were the first visitors to the North American continent, given their maritime navigational skills. Later on, the treasure appears and while being delivered to Thomas Jefferson, Meriwether Lewis is murdered. International villain Viktor Baltazar, who believes himself a direct descendant of Solomon, will go to any lengths to protect the statue, even if means murder, sabotage, or getting in the way of NUMA and Austin - not a good thing. I always enjoy Cussler books and quickly recommend them to readers looking for a fun adventure. Unfortunately, his books are becoming very similar. The plots are becoming predictable and the characters are becoming somewhat unbelievable.
