Very entertaining
I really enjoyed this book as well as all of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt adventures.

Cussler at his best. Action packed and just the right amount of romance, Dirk Pitt style
This is just one of a series written by Clive Cussler and I have always found them to be very intertaining and have read the entire series. Always hoping for another to be added to the series.
Great book...keeps you on the edge of your seat!
so far I liked all of clive cussler's books
I liked this one but not as much as some of the others. Good story though.
954. Vixen 03 is down. The plane, bound for the Pacific carrying thirty-six Doomsday bombs -- canisters armed with quick-death germs of unbelievable potency -- vanishes. Vixen has in fact crashed into an ice-covered lake in Colorado. 1988. Dirk Pitt, who heroically raised the Titanic, discovers the wreckage of Vixen 03. But two deadly canisters are missing. They're in the hands of a terrorist group. Their lethal mission: to sail a battleship seventy-five miles up the Potomac and blast Washington, D.C., to kingdom come. Only Dirk can stop them. Lovely copy!
The usual Dirk Pitt fun, easy read, predictable but entertaining enough; first published in 1978. 4 stars because it's just about right for one or two evenings of "down time." Neither the plot nor the characters are as complex as in the Dirk Pitt novels 10 or 20 years newer, but that's OK, too. Cussler seems to have done some good basic homework in science, history, geography, and other fields necessary to make these stories almost believable.
Typical Cussler with apparently independent plots tied together at the end.
An early Dirk Pitt but just filled with adverture, thrills, fun and much more. Cussler's hero is strong, brave and every girl's dream. Exciting book that's hard to put down.
