“A friend of mine loves this author and has always encourage me to try his stuff out. I finally decided to try it out. I started with this, the first Dirk Pitt adventure. I thought the writing and plot were decent. The characters were pretty cliche and Dirk was the stereotypical macho guy.
The story was engaging and the suspense kept me wanting to read more. I'll probably read more in the series, but I doubt I'll become as big of a fan as my friend.”
