I've been reading the latest Clive Cussler novel "Valhalla Risisng" the last couple of days, just now arrived at page 448 and am still in a bit of a shock.

Third paragraph page 446:

A floating bomb with the potential to devastate the lower half of Manhattan Island, The Mongol Invader was driven through the unruly waves at 25 knots by her great twin bronze screws, her forward underwater prow shrugging aside the water with deceptive ease. Flights of gulls came and circled but, sensisng and ominous aura about her, they remained strangely silent and soon winged away.

Skip down 2 paragraphs:

He walked back onto the bridge, crossed his arms and ran his eye along the course he'd laid out on the chart, following the red line that traveled past Rockaway Point, then Norton Point at Seagate, before moving under the Verrazano Bridge that spanned Brooklyn and Staten Island. From there the line ran up the center of the Upper Bay and beyond the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Once past Battery Park, the red line made a sharp right turn into the shore and ended at the base of the twin World Trade Center towers.

He flexed his muscular shoulders,his body attuned to the speeding mass of the ship below his feet. The Mongol Invader would not be stopped, could not be stopped before reaching her destiny. He would be remembered a thousand years years from now for achieving the worst man-made disaster ever attempted against the United States.

Is this eerie, if Cussler only knew what was in the future when he wrote this novel. Very upsetting.

WOW! That is truly scary and perceptive in a Nostradamus kind of way. Hope he doesn't have any further psychic revelations. SUSAN

... or if he does, that they're about something nice.
