When I started this one, it seemed a lot different than most of Clive Cussler’s work that I’d read before. I realized this came from a few things: it was the first of his books I’d read that didn’t have a co-author and it was the first book he published. I don’t remember the famous Dirk Pitt being as much of a self-absorbed chauvinist as he appears in this one, but maybe the character was refined over time or his behavior was more acceptable in 1973.
