Good and fast paced read
Fast paced as usual. Dirk Pitt adventures are fun! The knowledge on oceanography is extensive and well used in all books.

As an avid Clive Cussler reader I was not disappointed with this early Dirk Pitt story. I enjoyed reading how he met Summer but am still mystified how he managed to have twins with her when she disappeared before they got together. Still never let details stop a good story. From the start Clive Cussler introduced the mystery when the submarine disappeared in the "Hawaiian Bermuda Triangle" and never lost the plot which is a sign of a good writer. I expected this early story to pale in comparison to his current standard but it never did - I was very reluctant to put the book down. I really recommend this book and if you like Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino then this is a great starting point even though Al doesn't feature as much as later books.

I decided to read a Clive Cussler as he was my late husband's favourite authors, & I love action thrillers. I am always drawn to stories based around military & civilian transportation, so this submarine story looked like a good place to start my Clive Cussler journey ... Right from the outset I fell in love with Dirk Pitt, he is charismatic, handsome, fearless & has an eye for the ladies - everything a 007 fan like myself loves in a fictional hero. The story is fast paced, intriguing and in places very James Bond-esque. I enjoyed the way Clive Cussler described the characters and made them believable and relatable, & even the bad guys were intriguing, but I was glad to see that Dirk gave them a run for their money. This book was written in the early 70s', but the action & environment are timeless; this is a straightforward good vs evil type of story - not many twists & turns, just good old-fashioned explosions, shooting,s chases and bad guys getting what they deserve. This is the first Clive Cussler book I have read - my husband had the physical book, but due to sensory issues I decided to purchase the Kindle version, & I know this is the start of a great adventure. It was nice to read a good old-fashioned action story without all the modern technology & political correctness.
