Love Cussler
As with all Clive Cussler books, they are a pleasure to read
Typical Dirk Ptt and Al Giordano action. Great summer read
Typical Cussler book. Action packed and fun to read
A little too scattered for me. It was hard to keep the characters straight.
Loved it! Seemed like it all could happen
This one was hard to read, not as good as I have read
Good as the rest of the series
He kept my interest all the way through.
Fun plot line based on some real facts. Took place in places I’ve lived and traveled to. Plenty of action and likeable characters.
Excellent read…will keep you gluded to your seat ’til the last page! And the excitement never stops.

I literally could not put this book down! Typical Clive Cussler! He weaves a story of intrigue with actual problems that the United States is dealing with now. All through this book I felt that it was dealing with the reality of present day problems! Great read!
Typical Clive Cussler book. Full of twist and turns and a joy to read.
This book was fantastic, Clive Cussler is such a wonderful writer. I felt as if I were there with the characters. There were moments when you almost held your breath waiting see what would happen next. I would highly recommend this book.
I never criticize Clive Cussler and I his is another of his good ones.
Pretty good for Cussler’s early books.
I am a fan of Clive Cussler.
As with every Clive Cussler book I’ve ever read, OMG I loved it! The only one I thought was meh was his first, Mediterranean Caper. But it didn’t stop me from reading it again years later. I liked his story of the Titanic better than real life and I loved this story.
Flood Tide was, for me, a page turner. Every single time I got to the end of the page, I wanted to know what came next, what Pitt would do next, and most of all, how Pitt and Numa would save the day.
Yes, everyone can look at this series of books, I’m talking the Dirk Pitt series, and say but they aren’t realistic, or you always know what’s going to happen. I cry foul! I never know what’s going to happen because Cussler has the imagination most of us had as a child and lost when we grew up. Thank God Mr. Cussler didn’t lose his. And they don’t have to be realistic to be adventures with a good ending. And isn’t that why we read adventure stories – to be enthralled with and excited by the action, and to know that we aren’t going to read a tragic ending.
If given a choice of all the books in the world, you could put them all around me and put a Cussler on top. I’ll choose the Cussler every time.
Good book,hard to put down
Enjoyed
