Afera Śródziemnomorska

The vibrant history and diverse cultures of the region seem to play a big role in the story. I wonder if the setting was chosen to add authenticity or for its natural drama.

The team dynamics felt almost like a classic action movie trope — but it made the story more fun. Was that intentional to keep the tone light and engaging?

The pacing kept me on the edge of my seat, but I’m curious whether Cussler planned the mystery carefully or let it unfold naturally during writing.
