( )I'm fairly new to the Dirk Pitt series (this is the second book I've read), but I'm really enjoying it. Always full of action, there's never a dull moment you have to slog through to get to the next "good part." I especially enjoyed how the villain died in this book. This is more of a true Dirk Pitt adventure than Iceburg. True Clive Cussler. Dirk Pitt once more tangles up with impossible odds, diabolical masterminds, a smart good looking woman, political intrigue and plenty of aquatic action. It's a recipe that works for Cussler, book after book. Deep Six sees Pitt take on some shady racketeers with purely revenge in mind, however, unbeknownst to Pitt, the schemers have plans afoot which will shake the whole political world. More diverse in it's approach to previous Dirk Pitt adventures, Deep Six is a complex action novel, however, to make the strands of the story weave together there are some substantial leaps of faith. Overall, Deep Six is an action-packed ride, just suspend your disbelief and it's an easy way to wile away a few hours. I got this book as a gift to read during time I had off after a surgery. At first, I wasn't even going to read it but I got bored after a week or two and started the book. I as pleasantly surprised! I like spy/thriller novels so the parts where the plot really stretches doesn't turn me off right away because every book of that type has a 'invincible' style character. That is exactly what Dirk Pitt (main character) is. This book weaves together roughly 4 plots and was well done. I would recommend it. no reviews | add a review
