Title: Quite the page-turner...
Product review: I picked this book up as airline reading over the holidays, due in large part to the fact that a movie based on it was soon to be released. I had never read a Clive Cussler novel before and must say I am a new fan of his work. This is a great action adventure novel that kept me coming back for more. The only disappointment being the lack of strong, believeable female characters. I find it hard to believe that a woman who has risen to the position of Secretary-General of the UN would so casually spill government secrets to someone in the back of a limo, even if that person was a former lover. Additionally, the only adjective to characterize Dirk Pitt's love interest is pitiful. I am sure these disappointing characters will be fleshed out in the movie version, though, and they would not deter me from recommending this book for those looking for a quick and entertaining read.
