Review # 1 was written on 2012-06-22 00:00:00 Jon Coolidge This book started out all right, on a three-star level. There was a lot of action which kept me interested. Pitt saved the day, and then... he did it again. And again. And again. It was just too much, and it grew more unlikely with every time. Furthermore, the story is packed with gorgeous, frightened women who stare up at Pitt in wide-eyed admiration and enjoy cleaning up after him in his a-ma-zing museum of a home. Truly disgusting. And last but not least, every motorized vehicle (and there are many of those!) is described in painful technical detail. The book is soaked in testosteron, with an outburst of ridiculous sentimentality in the last chapter. I have been rolling my eyes so many times it was hard to read on.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-08-12 00:00:00 Hipolito Calderon My first Cussler book, and it will be my last. Before anyone sends me a nasty-gram about this review, remember, I'm not taking away your right to enjoy this book, it's just that I didn't. Dirk Pitt is just a little too much, don't you think? I mean, your ancient rare plane isn't showing up for your air show? Call Dirk Pitt! Need to know the exact year that some submarine crashed? He's your guy! I won't give it away, but I was glad that the ending of the book presented Pitt with a situation where he was a little bit unsure how to react. It was way too little and too late.
