What a waste of time. Cussler’s Dirk Pitt is the most ridiculous character ever.
Rating: 1 / 5
Ever hear the phrase “suspension of disbelief”? You’ll need a truckload of it for this book. The story is entertaining enough; I can see why it was made into a movie. But you’ll need to turn off the logical part of your brain as the invincible, superhuman Dirk Pitt achieves one utterly implausible escape after another.
Cussler finally lost me when Dirk and his pal, after wandering in the Sahara Desert for days with no food or water, discover a crashed airplane and manage to rebuild it into a “land yacht.” They ride it to safety and are restored to perfect health in moments after guzzling some water. Oh, please …
This was my first Clive Cussler novel, and I suspect it will be my last.

I wanted to try out another adventure writer other than the ones I’ve been reading. I thought I’d give Clive Cussler a try since I read Raise The Titanic.
The setups in the beginning were long-winded and gave absolutely no relation to the story whatsoever till somewhere towards the end of the book. It served to confuse the readers greatly until strangely and coincidentally enough the Dirk Pitt chances upon them.
The book is full of male bravado and machoism. It was shameless in the way Clive included himself into the novel as one of the characters searching for the lost ship. At the same time, the people who seem not to die or get injured miraculously is Dirk Pitt. Everyone else he knows dies.
The plot itself was very round about, back and forth and linear. I hope the movie would prove a better watch. Otherwise, some interesting facts about survival in the Sahara that’s about it.

Are they making a movie from this? I’m waiting to hear. Enough said.

This terrible book starts out with a stupid ship that dissappears.
Other than that nothing good happens.
Athought the battle abord the ship on the Niger River was pretty good, this book is a disappointment. I can’t believe the author was able to draw out such a long and boring, and uninteresting piece of malarky. Don’t even think about going out and looking at even the cover of the book, cause thats uninteresting to. The only reason that i would give this book 2 stars is because the movie was good. It had some humor, action and is interesting. Rent the movie, burn the book… Rent The Movie, BURN THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
