Reading goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann selected Sacred Stone by Clive Cussler.
Book synopsis: In the remote wastes of Greenland, a young scientist has unearthed an artefact hidden in a cave for a millennium: a 50,000 year-old meteorite known as the Sacred Stone - which he soon discovers possesses potentially catastrophic radioactive power. But the astounding find places him in the crosshairs of two opposing terrorist groups who seek the stone for themselves.
One is a group of Muslim extremists who have stolen a nuclear device. With the power of the meteorite, they could vaporize any city in the west. The other group is led by a megalomaniacal industrialist who seeks to carry out the utter annihilation of Islam itself. Caught between two militant factions bent on wholesale slaughter, Juan Cabrillo and his ship of high-tech mercenaries known as the Corporation must fight to protect the scientist and the Sacred Stone - and prevent the outbreak of World War III.

Hahnemann reveals: "Reading is so important to me and it leads to so many other things, that's what I always tell my boys. Clive Cussler's Sacred Stone is great. It's just about adventure, kind of like James Bond but a secret agent where the guy goes in and finds shipwrecks and there is mystery involved.
"The story is easy to follow and it is an easy read, and when you are on the bus just sitting around and chilling out it's really important to have something easy that you can just pick up and read."
