The Dirk Pitt series are always good reads.

Great adventure. Cussler does not disappoint.
One of Clive Cuddler best fast paced hard to put down. Action packed, very light profanity, no sex. Every thing a good book needs. And Dirk Pitt
same old, same old!
Okay read, but not the Cussler of old.
It’s a Cive Cussler, Dirk Pit novel. They are all good.
Action packed, hard to put down. Makes you wonder what could really happen.
Very good story.
Classic Cussler
I am an on going fan of Dirk. He is a man’s man. The twists and turns by the author are very good and keeps this reader interested.
Give us more Dirk !
I Clive Cussler I s an exceptionally great writer of books that b are so exciting you do not want to put them down. I have read his book twice and will probably re-read it again after a while. I have read many of his books and never been disappointed. I highly recommend Shock Wave as one of the best.
Good reading. A little long after the climax.
After a long hiatus, this book was a great one to return to Cussler again.
The only bad thing is that I read it too fast!
Like any science based thriller it was good but too wordy for large print and small read time.
Classic Cussler- Not as strong as his earlier work, but a good Summer read
Yet another great Cussler story. As expected, the action kept moving all over the world.
It’s Clive Custler! Always a great read.
