Corsairs are pirates, and pirates come in many different varieties. There are the pirates who fought off the Barbary Coast in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the contemporary pirates who infest the waters of Africa and Asia, and the pirates...who look like something else.
I liked learning about the history of the pirates in the 18th and 19th century and about Lafayette and the early explorers, Captain William Baimbrige, Captain Stephen Decatur and Admiral Charles Stewart. I thought all the characters were pretty interesting and I liked the role Linda Ross had in fighting Assad's men. The action and adventure scenes were very entertaining but the technical information was a bit much for me. I wish there were more dialogue between the characters during the adventure scenes as I believe that would make it much more enjoyable. I found the plot a little weaker from the past books but I still found the book a fascinating read. I would highly recommend Clive Cussler's book to those who like adventure reads.
