Title: Stretches your credulity to the breaking point
Product review: Ever hear the phrase "suspension of disbelief"? You'll need a truckload of it for this book. The story is entertaining enough; I can see why it was made into a movie. But you'll need to turn off the logical part of your brain as the invincible, superhuman Dirk Pitt achieves one utterly implausible escape after another.Cussler finally lost me when Dirk and his pal, after wandering in the Sahara Desert for days with no food or water, discover a crashed airplane and manage to rebuild it into a "land yacht." They ride it to safety and are restored to perfect health in moments after guzzling some water. Oh, please ...This was my first Clive Cussler novel, and I suspect it will be my last.
