I've rescued this from going to the dump. It doesn't look like my usual style, but I'll give it a try before letting it go.
If I hadn't been saving this from the trash, I never would have picked it up... but it wasn't too bad. I won't rush out to buy more Cussler or anything, but it was a fairly easy, enjoyable read that held my interest well. It is a little date in ways (ie: "The cost of oil could sore to eighty dollars a barrel" or some similarly worded sentence that made me laugh just a little), and I thought it was written in 2003 (when it's set), so I was a little thrown off when they started talking about the Twin Towers of New York City's WTC-- but then I saw that it was published in August of '01 and it made more sense. As a hydrophobe, some of the scenes in this book were perfectly nightmarish... but still interesting.
I don't know what I'll do with this just yet, but I hope its subsequent readers enjoy it.
