It's been a few years since I have read a Dirk Pitt novel. They're fun, but not too much deep, except for the diving :-) Beach reading. This one has a bit of Clancy's The Hunt for Red October, as the U.S. Navy is developing a superfast, super quiet submarine. A crazy Austrian steals the plans and the prototype as part of his plan to create a monopoly on rare earth elemnents along with the Chinese. As always, this is far fetched, and just when things are bleakest, help appears from nowhere to saeve Dirk, his friends, or his family. The most ambitious Cussler book yet. This action-packed novel is full of exotic places, shps and submarines, car chases, boat chases, hand to hand combat and more. There is so much action in this, it make Indiana Jones seem tame by comparison. As usual, there is politics, intrigue, a bit of world history, and villians... This one keeps you on the edge of your seat all the way to the end.Great Read!
