A good read. Old tech stuff from the 8o's, makes it a fun read today.
I enjoy all his books, water adventures are great.
This was one of the better ones, really liked it.
Love this Cussler book. As usual, I can't put it down. Will the President make it????
I think it was one of his best. It certainly made the commuter train ride pass quickly.
All Clive Cusslers books are action packed and enjoyable to read.
If you like Dirk Pitt you'll love this. Cusslers books are way better than the movies
A Dirk Pitt adventure...the best one I've read!!
another good one!
"The author of the bestselling Raise the Titanic! has another exciting, action-packed thriller...."
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY REVIEW
Part political thriller, part spy novel, this Dirk Pitt adventure is one of the best I've ever read. Written at the tale end of the Cold War,the chaos that would be caused if the plot ever became reality is staggering.
A good entertaining read. The story line is a bit of a far stretch, but the premise is interesting. The president and vice president are kidnapped and agents from another government try brainwashing them. Fiction at it's best, but sort of fun.
Usual great Cussler. Dirk Pitt is wonderful.
Vintage Dirk Pitt. Highly implausible but highly enjoyable.
Excellent Book. As always Clive Cussler writes an impecable book in his absolutely can't-put-it-down style!
FROM THE PUBLISHER
A ghost ship drifts across the northern Pacific....
A Soviet luxury liner burns like a funeral pyre....
And the U.S. President's yacht is heading for disaster....

But time is running out for the NUMA agent and his team. Pitt's main target is just one deadly component of a vast international conspiracy fueled by hijacking, bribery, and murder. And at the center of it all is a powerful Korean shipping empire with a chilling political agenda -- to kidnap the President of the United States....
I really loved this book as well as all of Cussler's Dirk Pitt adventures.

Typical Cussler. Hard to put it down.
