Usual great Cussler. Dirk Pitt is wonderful.
Vintage Dirk Pitt. Highly implausible but highly enjoyable.
Excellent Book. As always Clive Cussler writes an impecable book in his absolutely can't-put-it-down style!

Publishers Weekly: ""The author of the bestselling Raise the Titanic! has another exciting, action-packed thriller...."
Book Description:"A deadly tide of poison flows into ocean waters. A ghost ship drifts across the empty northern Pacific. A luxury Soviet liner blazes into a funeral pyre. The Presidential yacht cruises the Potomac night -- and the President disappears without a trace. "
"DIRK PITT, the swashbuckling hero of Clive Cussler's smash bestsellers Sahara and Inca Gold, takes on a sinister Asian shipping empire in an intercontinental duel of nerves. In his most dangerous, fast-paced adventure, he fights to save the U.S. government -- and to seize one desperate moment of revenge!"

I really loved this book as well as all of Cussler's Dirk Pitt adventures.
Fantastic book - will not be disappointed.
