I love Clive Cussler books and this one is no exception. They are always cutting edge, fast paced and you can’t put it down.
One of Dirk’s best adventures. If you’ve never read Clive Cussler you’re in for a treat and wil want to read them all.
I have been reading and loving Dirk Pitt for many years. My greatest hope is that Clive Cussler would write Dirk again! Thanks.
As usual, Cussler put out good entertainment.
I’ve been reading books for a long time. I thought I read all of Mr. Cussler’s books, this slipped past me.
His books are well written with lots of action, excitement and humor. His characters are very real, especially one Dirk Pitt.
Great book, fun reading.
Love it, a classic cutler.
ANYTHING Clive Cussler for the most part is a good read.
Couldn’t put it down!!! Clive Cussler just keeps getting better…no matter what the action or who the team!
Loved it
Great Dirk Pitt adventure. Like the history/science that goes with the stories.
fast-paced, but somewhat predictable.
Cussler is the best.
