Rating: Summary: Great Cussler Novel Review: This book is great! It has all the great aspects of a Cussler book
Rating: Summary: Flood Tide doesn't hold to the Dirk Pitt tradition Review: I've long been a big fan of Clive Cussler's work, but this onejust doesn't cut it as a good story. Most of the other Dirk Pitt adventures were fast-paced and full of surprises. This one was neither. I had to work to finish this book, much as I did when reading the first few hundred pages of War and Peace. It lacks brilliance, and I (correctly) figured out what would happen after reading about halfway through. It's also got some elements that are, to say the least, slightly discriminatory against Asian peoples. What I do like about the book is that it seems Mr. Cussler has finally got his military information straight. I always found it a source of amusement when he described weapons and units that are completely nonexistent. Hopefully, the next adventure will retain these improvements.

Rating: Summary: Typical switch-your-brain-off-and-have-some-fun Cussler Review: As always, the joy is in the journey, not the destination.
You know before you even turn the first page what the outcome is going to be, it's just a case of how we get there. In this case it's a cute chinese girl, a Dusenberg, and every type of marine vehicle - from a hovercraft to an enormous cruise liner. The bad guy (Qin Shang) is as rich and evil as ever and his cronies predictably dangerous and clumsy.
I suggest you climb into bed with a cup of hot chocolate, turn on the reading light, and switch off your brain... Mr. Cussler will take over from there.
