Iceberg by Clive Cussler reads as suspenseful, action-packed. These 12 books share its genome — matched by how they actually read, not just their shelf label.

What Iceberg is like to read

A globe-trotting adventure thriller that opens with a frozen yacht entombed in an iceberg and races from Iceland to the North Atlantic in pursuit of a megalomaniac villain. Plot-forward, set-piece driven, with a wisecracking hero at the center. Best for: readers who want a fast, exotic-locale men's-adventure thriller with a charismatic series hero.
