Damn I just love Dirk Pitt! He's not a hottie, heck according to Cussler, he's not even handsome; regardless, he always gets the girl. He's just like MacGiver, from that old TV show. Give him a toothpick and a high heeled shoe and he can get out of any death-defying scrape imaginable. Dirk is quick on his feet and even though he always gets caught, his unconventional tactics will amaze you. This time he and Al Gordino are sent in to Greece to help one of NUMA's research vessels that have been sabotaged again and again. Of course, Dirk and Al aren't satisfied just flying to save the day. No no no, Dirk has to get stumble on an ingenious drug smuggling operation and immediately get on the bad side of the culprit.

This was written in 1973 so it's not as involved and convoluted as Cussler's later Pitt novels. Even so, I enjoyed the hell out of it as I always do.
