I cannot say that I disliked the book, but I'm not sure that I need to read another Cussler story. He's a good writer, in that action and adventure sort of way, where leading men are strong, moral and all of the women love them. His stories are well plotted, lots happens, not necessarily by the way of surprise plot twists, but the action scenes are well thought out with the hero racing from one predicament to the next. At the end of the book, the hero saves the damsel and the villain perishes....more

This is the first book I've read by Clive Cussler, and will probably stay that way. If you're really into quick-read books that don't require thought (and, indeed, often require you not to think) like those written by Dan Brown and John Grisham, you might like his books. If you like lots of action, improbable travel times, things blowing up, people dying in various inventive ways, and the hero getting through it all mostly unscathed, you might like this book. I thought it was okay, up ...more

It seems like each time I start reading a Clive Cussler book I finish the first chapter and say, "Oh my god this guy can write." This was no exception. This story is quick, entertaining, and thoroughly enjoyable. As I noted last time, it also has too many coincidences, takes on plot elements so big that they verge on ridiculous and diverges sharply from reality. This doesn't bother me, although I admit that I think that Tom Clancy does a better job with realism. On the other hand, I do...more

My husband likes Cussler so I read his books so we can discuss them. This one has Dirk Pitt trying to save the President and VP who have been abducted and brainwashed by Russians and an Asian shipping tycoon who are seeking revenge for WW2 deaths of father and grandfather. I liked all the twists and turns. It's just adventure!

You won't be able to put it down!: My husband handed me a copy of Deep Six about 5 years ago to read the preface, and I never gave it back. I've been hooked on Dirk Pitt ever since. Deep Six is my first and favorite Cussler novel, he knows how to keep the reader interested. Great adventures, you won't want to put them down!

Typical Cussler novel. It was entertaining and excapist, as usual for Mr Cussler. This is about the 10th work of his I have read and they are all the same. Great characters, gripping plot, twists, turns, etc. In other words, completely unrealistic and pointless, but high entertainment.

Disclaimer: The Dirk Pitt Novels are my dose of testosterone charged adventures. I learned nothing from these novels except the very important lessons of how to drive fast, fool evil henchmen, take unnecessary risks of life and limb, and get the girl. All in all, a good day's read;)

Dirk Pitt is assigned by the EPA to locate the source of a deadly nerve agent contaminating Alaskan waters. He uncovers an international plot to take over the United States government.

The whole Dirk Pitt Series is very James Bond, but they all have something to do with cars, the ocean, and an airplane. Very Entertaining.

I am currently reading this book after finishing his book, Inca Gold, and I'm loving it. I have found a new favorite author!

Cussler's a great adventure writer and you just can't go wrong with Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino. Greatest pair ever.

This is another great action adventure featuring Dirk Pitt. A good read with lots of intrigue on the ocean.

All of Cussler's books are full of cheesiness and predictability.. like cotton candy for your brain.
