Ok, so i wanted to recommend a book I read ages ago but i can't remember its name...
plot summary (as far as i can recall):
main character called something like Robin, his company tow an iceberg from the North Pole to west Africa where there is a drought
there is something radioactive in the iceberg that brings in some military types
they chop off bits of the berg and fly them by helicopter upstream where they are left to melt and restart the river flowing
there is some kind of coup in the african country.
Does this ring any bells for anyone???
(it's not Iceberg by Clive Cussler i'm oretty sure anyway!)
