Deep Six (Dirk Pitt #7)
What makes this particular book interesting is the introduction of a few long-time characters that all fans eventually grow to love. St. Julien Pearlmutter, the 400-pound gourmand who owns the largest collection in the world of works regarding maritime history, enters this story in order to give Dirk Pitt a hand in unraveling a maritime mystery. Hiram Jaeger also appears, the pony-tail-wearing hippie who’s a wiz at the computer, though this early on in the Cussler universe, he must use his brain a whole lot more than his advanced processor. Lauren Smith also joins the tale again, this time as a curious and determined congresswoman who just can’t seem to keep herself out of trouble. Her “on again, off again affair with Dir Pitt” hasn’t seemed to have hurt her political career at all, and I think that now we’ll start seeing a whole lot more of her."
Deep Six is Clive Cussler's seventh Dirk Pitt adventure and for most people reading it, they would have read at least some of the other Pitt adventures. Those people know what to expect from Cussler and would be more than satisfied with another tale of a marine engineer saving the free world once again. For myself, I would probably lump myself into that category as well. Cussler is into a groove by this point in the mid-80s, at that's not necessarily a bad thing.An Asian shipping empire, Cold
My 9th outing with Dirk Pitt adventures.Clive Cussler the master storyteller, this is yet another feather to his cap. I was awestruck by his skill of interweaving various sub plots in the story. The novel starts in the year 1966, with Arta Casilighio the teller of Beverly-Wilshire bank steals 120000 dollars and hatches a plan to escape from San Francisco to Auckland, New Zealand in a cargo ship, but she was killed by Korean seamen. Another sub story, in Augustine Island, Alaska a poison leak in
The prologue pulled me right into the story. The action continued, the tension increased.Years ago, while in the Navy, I fell in love with being on ships. This story brought naval memories. So much happens in this story, scuba diving, ship traveling, mystery solving, to name only a few.Even though I thought the plot was a little far-fetched, I enjoyed it anyway. President kidnapped and brain-washed.I look forward to more Dirk Pitt adventures.
Ridiculous plot as a Korean matriarch, on behalf of the Soviet Union, kidnaps the hierarchy of the USA and then brainwashes the President. Pitt gets involved and saves the day against incredible odds. Couple of interesting additions to his team in Perlmeter and Hiram Yaeger and nice to see Loren Smith return as a love interest who is more substantial than others in this series. Vaguely enjoyable but that is all.
After this chapter in the Dirk Pitt saga, its really time to call a halt. Sensible, rational, self-respecting readers should all retreat, beyond this point. Its the last of the Pitt episodes which has any kind of credibility or plausibility whatsoever. Clive Cussler (the author) unfortunately, does not know when to stop with this goofy series. He is dazzled by his name on movie posters and on supermarket check-out aisle paperback racks. An author of grossly immodest self-appraisal, overweening
Typical action, one man army hero type novel. A good read for people liking such novels.

Description Concering Books Deep Six (Dirk Pitt #7)
"Deep Six is Cussler’s first book of many since Pacific Vortex whose plot dips dangerously into the “ridiculous” category, involving such plot points as the kidnapping of the President along the next three in line for the Presidency and brain manipulation via implanted micro-transmitters. The Russians are again to blame, this time with help from a greedy Korean family, though this story is set in the late 80s, right when the USSR actually fell.What makes this particular book interesting is the introduction of a few long-time characters that all fans eventually grow to love. St. Julien Pearlmutter, the 400-pound gourmand who owns the largest collection in the world of works regarding maritime history, enters this story in order to give Dirk Pitt a hand in unraveling a maritime mystery.

Another Cussler masterpiece.What can I say. Dirk Pitt saves us all once again, from the Machiavellian wiles of an evil Shipping magnate with ambitions to take over the US government.As I have come to expect from Custler, the writing is high standard, and the story keeps you enthralled and tuning pages.One thing struck me as fascinating. The main story line in this book is about a US President who is 'got at' by the Russians, then begins making irrational decisions, ignores advice, sacks all hisDeep Six is Clive Cussler's seventh Dirk Pitt adventure and for most people reading it, they would have read at least some of the other Pitt adventures.
