Product Description

From Amazon.com

From the moment you begin Clive Cussler's latest undersea thriller, you know that you're in the hands of a old pro; thus any lingering crotchetiness over the book's stereotypical villains is offset by deft plotting and taut action. Flood Tide details the exploits of Dirk Pitt, Special Projects Director of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, whom Cussler fans already know and love. Judging by this book, "Special Projects" seems to be a euphemism for blowing stuff up. Pitt's worthy adversary is Qin Shang, a Chinese shipping tycoon who is definitely from the Fu Manchu school of management. As part of a nefarious plot to bring the United States to its knees with a flood of illegal immigrants, Qin Shang operates a secluded gulag in rural Washington, which the vacationing (ha!) Pitt stumbles upon. A lot of entertaining mayhem ensues, both on the water and under it. Flood Tide's enthusiastic xenophobia can stick in the throat, and may get in the way for some. But that flaw aside, it delivers the speed and shocks necessary. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From Library Journal

We can't say much yet about Dirk Pitt's 14th outing?even Cussler's publicist doesn't know plot details yet?but we can bet that it will attract an enthusiastic readership.

1.0 out of 5 stars Surprised by the xenophobic undertones, Jul 15 2004

By	David Lim "space_hamster" (Hobart, Tasmania) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Flood Tide (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm an Australian of Asian descent, and I've been a huge Clive Cussler (and Tom Clancy) fan since I was about 12 years old. It was Clive Cussler that introduced me to the concept of "sex scenes" within books, and because I had a fascination of the ocean, NUMA as a concept always fascinated me.

Up til' now, I'd always assumed that Dirk Pitt as a character was fighting for the freedom of everyone around the world, regardless of their race. This isn't the first time Clive Cussler has used Asian villains in his novels (Deep Six), but it's the first time he's ever expressed any antipathy or animosity towards Asians in general.

Both Tom Clancy and Clive Cussler formed an integral part of my childhood reading. Hunt for Red October, Patriot Games, Raise the Titanic, Deep Six - these were all books I loved reading. But now that I'm aware of their antipathy towards Asians, I feel like I've been unceremoniously excluded from an important club. I want to love Cussler's novels, but I just can't if he's not going to extend the same respect towards me as a reader.

I have been a CUSSLER fan for years and I will continue to read his novels, however, this is not one of Clive's strongest novels. The flow is lacking. Read more

Maybe I'm getting jaded. I used to like these novels back some time ago, with the silly preposterous chases and the historical settings and artifacts. Read more
