Story
In 1959 Tibet, a Buddhist artifact of immense importance was seemingly lost to history in the turmoil of the Communist takeover. But when National Underwater and Marine Agency Director Dirk Pitt discovers a forgotten plane crash in the Philippine Sea over 60 years later, new clues emerge to its hidden existence. But Pitt and his compatriot Al Giordino have larger worries when they are ordered to recover a failed hypersonic missile from Luzon Strait. Only someone else is after it, too.

When the most advanced aircraft ever designed vanishes over the South Pacific, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are drawn into a deadly contest to locate the fallen machine. Russia and China covet the radical technology, but the United States worries about a darker problem. They know what others don't - that the X-37 is carrying a dangerous secret, a payload of exotic matter extracted from the upper reaches of the atmosphere and stored at a temperature near absolute zero.

Publisher's Summary
Clive Cussler, "The Grand Master of Adventure", sends his intrepid heroes Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino on their wildest, boldest mission into the ancient world, unlocking extraordinary secrets and solving hideous crimes. Another fabulous story from the most beloved series from the number-one New York Times best-selling author.
The murders of a team of United Nations scientists in El Salvador.... A deadly collision in the waterways off the city of Detroit.... An attack by tomb raiders on an archaeological site along the banks of the Nile.... Is there a link between these violent events? The answer may lie in the tale of an Egyptian princess forced to flee the armies of her father 3,000 years ago.
During what was supposed to be a routine investigation in South America, NUMA Director Dirk Pitt finds himself embroiled in an international mystery, one that will lead him across the world and will threaten everyone and everything he knows - most importantly, his own family. Pitt travels to Scotland in search of answers about the spread of an unknown disease and the shadowy bioremediation company that may be behind it.
Meanwhile, his son and daughter face a threat of their own when the discoveries they have made in an Egyptian tomb put killers on their trail. These seemingly unrelated riddles come together in a stunning showdown on the rocky isles of Ireland, where only the Pitts can unravel the secrets of an ancient enigma that could change the very future of mankind.
Critic Reviews
“The scene settings are colorful, the characters appealing or despicable as needed....One darned thing after another keeps the Pitts in peril and will keep readers turning the pages.” (Kirkus Reviews)
"Cussler’s 25th Dirk Pitt novel has a little bit of everything that helped make the character, who the Associated Press once called the 'oceanic answer to Indiana Jones,' a household name to begin with - including lots of cutting-edge science and plenty of action.” (The Real Book Spy)
“Celtic Empire is some of the best work between Clive and Dirk Cussler in years - proving that Dirk Pitt, one of the thriller genre’s premier heroes, has plenty more adventures left in him moving forward.” (Crime Reads)

Like a mission impossible movie but a book!
As always very happy and impressed with another one of Clive Cussler’s action packed adventure stories. I feel like I’m watching an ideal action movie, but in the form of a book! Very upbeat and entertaining and leaving me feeling excited and adventurous, the way all good stories should!
Thanks again for the great entertainment!

Grade B (or worse) script for a movie
I should have taken the critical reviews at face value but bought this book due to the ratings and the historical settings. Not quite a spoiler alert:
Attempts at conveying sophistication consisted of “he/she wore” and “we ate...” The authors were compelled to explain the motives behind the baddies behavior but did so in a paragraph. Despite being constantly surveilled, and almost as frequently attacked, they rarely have weapons for defense. Despite their awareness that the baddies are after them they seek professional help without warning these people that this has put them at risk (at least not until the last character or two and then it’s an after the fact apology). The earlier helpful souls generally end up dead. Lots of car, boat, etc chases to the point of tedium...you get the idea...

A struggle
It was not one of his better written books. The back and forth with Pitt and kids proved tedious. The storyline was bumpy and not as cohesive as previous titles. Hope the writers are more successful in pulling all the odd bits together in their next book or.....?

Not this one...
As a long time Cussler fan,I expected more great adventure writing with Celtic Empire, but it was not to be. Seemed very different from others. The story was convoluted and often dragged. The “almost died “ moments were almost laughable this time. Finally, the narrator kept mixing up his accents which was super distracting
