gossamerwingedgazelle's review against another edition
4.0
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 don't think I laugh as much while reading Clancy books. The ending of this book was truly classic.

De eldste bøkene til Cussler holder seg forsåvidt godt. Deep Six er gjenlest for andre gang siden jeg leste den da den kom ut i 1984. Den gang da ville jeg gitt boka en 4'er. Etter tredje gangs lesing og nesten 40 år har passert havner boka på en 3'er. Cusslers Dirk Pitt serie er absolutt best.
Seriene han har skrevet "sammen med" de andre forfatterne de seneste årene, spesielt de som er utgitt etter hans død i 2020, lukter det kun pengemaskin av. Å selge på navnet til først en svært gammel, senere død forfatter? Direkte smakløst!

This was a great read. After reading The Silent Sea, I had to read this one. The mystery was amazing and kept me reading this book. I loved the mystery behind the President’s disappearance. This book was intriguing and very interesting. If you are looking for a good read with tons of action, definitely read this one. The characters were amazing and it was great. Overall 5 stars.

Although I generally love this series, this one is too dated (poor representation of women) and political (needs more adventure and less politics) for me.

I was told by family that if I just stuck with it that it would get better, and boy did it ever! This is what I signed up for when I started reading Clive Cussler books! While there are still mild undertones of classic racism, this one was far better than the ones previous to it when it came to levels of racism and misogyny, although there is still some of that present too.
Overall, a great action novel with a, in my opinion, satisfactory ending.

This was one of the books in my previous mentioned 'Gold Mine' at a yard sell purchases.
I will not freak Mr. Cussler out on what I paid for this gem. However, I often wonder what went on behind the closed doors of the woman who sold them to me after her husband found out. Hmmm
This was definitely on of my top favorites on the Dirk Pitt series.
The intrigue, to me, seemed more in depth then the previous books of his I had read.
I think I still secretly hold a slight crush on both Al Giordino and Dirk Pitt to this day.
Great, fun reads. Intrigue and super spy/hero shenanigans.
