This is exactly what you'd expect from an adventure book written in the 1990's by a male author who cranks out lots of books. It's regressive. The female characters are there as arm candy and for perky boobs. The male characters know all and solve all. The big baddies are really big baddies.

The plot felt a bit off at the beginning, but the story was good. Overall, a very enjoyable read. My biggest issue was the weird metric.... If everything is in metric, then don't give us feet, etc. If you are going to give us feet, then skip the metric. It was weird and annoying.

It was Dirk Pitt, so I loved it, but I had two quibbles with it.
First: there were spots where scenes just went on for too long. The pacing wasn't as tight as the earlier books. I think this was when (on my first read through the series), I noticed the books started to bloat some.
Secondly: Any time a measurement was given, it was given in meters or kilometers, and was then immediately followed by the American equivalent in parentheses. This ruined the flow of the narrative for me, and got annoying after a while. If America has switched to the metrics system (as it said on the first page), then use the metric system.

Este livro pertencia a uma biblioteca escolar, que ia se desfazer dele. Decidi lê-lo. Foi divertido, embora eu pessoalmente não acredite que tal aventura seja possível.
