Summary: Entertaining.
Review: Another Dirk Pitt novel. Dirk & Al really manage to getaround, and their adventures are imaginative and enjoyable. I read for pleasure, not to look for hidden moral lessons or other redeeming factors in a story. I know Pitt will win out in the end and I enjoy, through reading, watching him get there through all the plot twists. Mr Cussler has exceptional knowledge of historical nautical events and through the Dirk Pitt stories shares them with us. This book did not let me down, It was enjoyable, kept me turning the pages wanting more. I sincerely hope Mr Cussler continues writing about Dirk Pitt and writing himself into the stories, self-serving or not.

Summary: Pitt is the Pits
Review: This was my first and definitely last Cussler book. I couldbarely finish it. I'm all for escapism and fantasy but there's no need to be stupid about it. The guy isults ones intelligence. I am amazed that this guy sold a single book, yet alone 90 million.

Summary: Three or four stories in one nice long book!
Review: Dirk Pitt is one of the nicest, most interesting characters Ihave encountered in a long time. His pal, Al, is a great sidekick. These stories are at times slightly implausible but I disagree with the readers who feel Clive Cussler doesn't do his research. Each part of the book, from the typhoon, to the mountain and lakeside retreat, to the island off Hong Kong to the bayous of Louisiana-it's a fast-paced, interesting read. What I like best about Cussler, besides the characters, settings and descriptions is the fact he's not preachy. It's too boring, kind of like commercials, to have heavy-handed pontificating. None here! Just entertainment and escapism at it's best.
