Product Description:
Together with Bess, Nancy Drew is on a cruise to adventure—a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the raising of the Titanic. But she has uncovered evidence that their ship may be under threat—from a rogue CIA agent! As they follow the Titanic's fateful course into the icy waters of the Northern Atlantic, Nancy suspects that they too are on a voyage to disaster.
Meanwhile...
A helicopter swoops down onto the deck of Nancy's ship. On board are Frank and Joe Hardy! Posing as journalists, they are in fact working undercover for the Network, the ultrasecret U.S. intelligence agency. Their mission: Unmask a master of disguise who is planning to use the ship to pull off a chilling terrorist act. For Nancy Drew and the Hardys, uncovering the explosive truth about what lies a the bottom of the ocean is just the tip of the iceberg in...Operation Titanic.

This book had a lot of action. It was pretty good in that department, but Nancy and the Hardy Boys are suppose to be together. If you want to see a lot with them together, this isn't the book for you. They don't actually meet up till the very end of the book, and then they don't even solve it together. I was dissapointed. There are better books out there to start with. I've been reading the Hardy Boys books and Nancy Drew books for ages. There are much better ones out there. Good luck!

This has to be the best book in the series. Its the very first one I read, and got me completely hooked on the series. A must read for anyone. Will the Titantic be raised? Will the Hardy boys actually get to relax on a vacation? Is Nancy dating a Millionaire? Read and find out

The book that I read was Operation: Titanic. Carolyn Keene, one of my favorite mystery writers, wrote this book. As you already have guessed this book is a mystery. I loved the suspense in this book especially because this book contains two mysteries all rolled into one. I would recommend this book to kids ten or older.
This book is about Nancy Drew, a detective who shares a lot of her stories with her best friend Bess Marvin. Two of the other main characters are Frank and Joe Hardy, who follow their Dad's footprints. They too are detectives, and their father is a detective who is known about nation wide. These young detectives help find the thieves that are planning to attack the Hampton. The Hampton is a cruise ship bound to raise the Titanic from her watery grave. This book sure has a lot of surprises.
In the beginning Nancy Drew is invited by the ever so handsome billionaire, Walter Welsh, to see the Titanic be raised. She accepts the invitation and Bess Marvin tags along. On the boat she spots some thieves that caused a murder back in Chicago, and has an exciting time trying to track them down. When the ship gets attacked she leads the way to the scene of the crime.
All the while Frank and Joe are trying to enjoy a nice vacation until their car gets run off the road by a van. Finally Frank and Joe escape but find other strange happenings at their stay at Wedge Grove Oceanography. During these strange happenings Frank and Joe are hired to work for the Network, a government security team. Their job is to ride in a helicopter to the site of the Titanic and board the Hampton, who is owned by Walter Welsh. Frank and Joe are to pose as journalist and try to find a man who they think is aboard the ship and is very dangerous.
On the ship Nancy, Bess, and the Hardy boys get together and exchange stories. They soon find the needed information to stop the Hampton from going under. They even get to enjoy dinner and a dance on board one of the nicest cruise ships in America.
I truly enjoyed this book and would rate it a nine on a one to ten scale. So if you like suspense and thrill this would be a great book to read!

This book was OK, but I did not understand the mystery or crime until the middle of the book. I think the plot was a little bit weak, because I don't think the United States plans to ever raise the Titanic. The story goes like this: Nancy Drew is on a mission to discover the plot behind a scam selling tickets to see the raising of the Titanic. While on the hunt for the main seller, she witnesses him get murdered. This book is basically trying to find out who murdered him and why. Frank and Joe Hardy are on a pleasure vacation until they get mixed up in the same case that Nancy is involved with. The characters were very vague.

Operation Titanic starts out with Nancy on a sort of stakeout, trying to capture a guy who is cheating in a radio contest, the prize being tickets for a cruise on which the Titanic is being raised from the depths. However, the stakeout takes on a deadly twist when the suspect is fatally shot. Meanwhile, the Hardys are on their way to the Wedge Grove Oceanography Institute for a vacation, invited by their friend, Eric. A group of armed foreigners ram their car off the road and begin hunting them.
The plot of this book is really great, but the book iself is VERY sloppily written. Characters Nancy works with at the beginning vanish into thin air without a trace, and most of the book is incomprehensible. There is really no real detecting done in this book at all; no clues are found until the very end and even those just appear, it is not told where they come from. There are also a few false facts floating around the book. Ex.Joe seems to lose his head when near Bess. Nancy also appears to have to have an admirer, the thirtyish billionaire who is raising the Titanic. Nancy, in this book, is rather cold and, um, mean. I also agree with other readers, the Hardys showed up way too late.
Although I expected more from this book, it was enjoyable to read. There is a very funny scene between Frank and Joe on page 154-157. For the Nancy & Frank fans, there is really not much material except on 173 & 215.
