On an isolated Greek island, a World War I fighter plane attacks a modern U.S. Air Force base...a mysterious saboteur preys on an American scientific expedition...and Dirk plays a deadly game of hunter and hunted with the elusive head of an international smuggling ring.

This was the first Clive Cussler book Ive read, and I loved it. I thought it was great! The whole story, the characters, everything !!!
The ONLY thing I hated was the part when Dirk Pitt slaps the chick on the beach after only meeting her for like 2 minutes. That was soo stupid. BUT other than that, a great story. I have since read ICEBERG, and I still liked this one better !!!

By Phil Gaston
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This was my first Cussler novel (I figured I'd start at the begining) and it's a decent enough yarn but atrociously written. The protagonist Dirk Pitt is a James Bondish action caricature, and the dialogue is cliched and corny. People behave and speak in laughably unnatural ways: within an hour of meeting the female lead on an Aegean beach, Pitt slaps her smartly in the face for dwelling excessively on her dead husband. She comes to her senses, and within minutes they're making love on the beach. I'm serious - it's that dumb. I might be inclined to give Cussler another try, I've heard good things about RAISE THE TITANTIC but it had better be good.

Very entertaining! My husband and I have been reading (and re-reading) Clive Cussler's novels for over 15 years. All his books contain lots of action and history. Read more

Outdated Machismo garbage
Considering the obvious success Clive Cussler has had with his novels, I thought it was time I gave one a try (they're popular, they can't be that bad... wrong). Read more

Excellent Book, but not the First
Amazon lists this book in their "First Books in the best series I've read" section. Although this is a fantastic book, it is not the 1st in the Dirk Pitt series. Read more

Yes it's far-fetched, but it's so much FUN . . .
Clive Cussler's books always remind me of a James Bond movie. The plots are preposterous, the hero is far too perfect, and the women fall into his bed much too easily. Read more
