![]() ![]() As part of a series, this novel moves the Dirk Pitt Adventures along rather slowly yet also noticeably. ![]() ![]() Dirk’s search for the culprits leads him into a hidden world of antiquities-smuggling and murder that sets his Good-Samaritan heart racing and leads him on yet another extravagant adventure of dangerous treasure- and bad-guy-hunting.Ĭlive Cussler makes his own cameo in this book once more, this time as the owner of a run-down desert tavern, and Dirk Pitt inches ever away from bedding strangers and into a legitimate relationship with the woman who will prove to be his soulmate. After coming to the rescue of a diving team of archaeologists, Dirk Pitt finds himself stranded and left for dead by a band of antique-stealing thugs and therefore fit with a darkening shade of vengeance in his eyes. This novel begins in the depths of a murky sinkhole in Mexico where an accident has required the saving help of NUMA-duo Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino. I really enjoyed this novel, because it scratched every itch for the adventure-enthusiast in me. This novel appears to have it all: a missing treasure situated where it ought not be an aquatic phenomenon that staggers the imagination a family-run crime syndicate bent on global domination of some sort and a unique assassin whose lust for murder becomes his own undoing. But when I think of a classic, mid-career Cussler novel, I think of Inca Gold. When I think of the time when Cussler first hit it big, I think of Raise the Titanic. When I think of Clive Cussler‘s earliest years, I think of the simplicity of The Mediterranean Caper. ![]()
