Hard to place this delicately. Clive Cussler sux. Talentless formulaic garbage with his own political bias.
I hesitate to call him the “Bill O’Reilly” of fiction because
a) he probably sees that as a complement
b) its hard to discern who is the fictional writer with that comparison.

As a long time lover of Clive Cussler’s books, I was extremly disapointed in this last book. Not set in our times or near future, no modern equipment, and no bonding of past and future as the rest of his books have. I have permanently been unable to place down his writing until I finished the book. In this case, I could not bring myself to continue reading, and forced myself to perfect it. A sophmoric choice of subjects and poor writing. I hope and pray that this was a one time choice and he will return with a better one next time. This compares to the Tom Clancy choice to write Red Rabbit. That was also a break from tradition and faired poorly. He stopped writing novels afterwards.

This is the worst-written novel I have ever read. There is some merit to the plot and bit to the characterizations, but it is painful to read. My first, and last, Cussler.

Not a predictable Cussler novel, which was OK with me. I did not dis-like the book, but i was not enthraled with it. Mostly ambivilent towards it.

I couldn’t wait to end this book so I could tell the rest of the world (or anyone wihtin eyeshot) of Cusslers God-dreadful writing style as of late. I only had a few weeks in between semesters for some recreational reading and, holy crap, did I ever pick the incorrect book! This is the last time I pick up a tome on premise alone. The characters are extremely predictable in their description, rugged jaw, piercing eyes, hour glass figure, bursting at the seams breats, yadda yadda yadda YAWN! The dialogue was grade-school at best and reasonably frankly, I didn’t give a crap as to whether or not the “Butcher Bandit” got away. As a matter of fact, Issac Bells behavior was so sickeningly over-the-top heroic that I establish myself cheering for the terrible guy! I couldn’t help but envison a different ending. Tell me what you reflect:
Cromwell puts a bullet right between Bells eyes while doing Marion from behind on a pile of cash with Margaret blowing Roosevelt on the bidet.
Classic.
Sweet Jesus I despised this book so much. People, if you have to read this, set your wince factor to 10 and be prepared to roll your eyes, grimace and set the book down a LOT. That is if you can keep from hurling it across the room. Seriously, it’s a hardback and wasn’t worth the $5.99 I paid at Limits. I won’t donate it to the library or lend it to anyone unless they want an example of inane descriptions, ridiculous celebrity placement (Nils Lofgren? Really??) and the worst dialogue ever! Calling it pedestrian is a slam to pedestrians world-wide.
Seriously, avoid this incredible POS…stick with the guilty-pleasure Dirk Pitt novels of ancient…or pick up a classic for chrissake. Ugh.
