From the dust jacket, "Clive Cussler's reputation as
a master storyteller has been confirmed by such best-selling
successes asRaise the Titanic and Night Probe. In Deep Six
he has surpassed himself with a brilliant and timely novel
that pits his hero, Dirk Pitt", against the sinister
and monstrous plan of a great Asian shipping family - only
to find that behind it is an even deeper and more dangerous
Soviet plot to turn the President of the United States to
their own designs by means of mind control. Deep Six is full
of action, like all Cussler's best sellers, but beyond the
action is a plot so fast-paced, taut and highly charged that
the reader is left breathless, whether it's at the mystery
of a sunken ship with no name that unleashes a deadly tide
of poison into the ocean waters, or the disappearance of the
President of the United States on board his own yacht in the
Potomac River, or the search for some of the most senior figures
in the United States Government on board a soviet cruise ship
on the high seas ...Like James Bond, Dirk Pitt is a swashbuckling
adventurer, with a taste for the ladies and a way with violence
- but in Deep Six, as in his other novels, Cussler has created
a novel of compelling originality and rich detail that remains
totally believable, with a huge cast of characters and a plot
that takes the reader from the bottom of the sea to the most
secret byways of power in Washington and Moscow. Deep Six
is grand adventure and major fiction."
My
favorite Clive Cussler novel is Deep Six. Finding one with
a perfect dust jacket is difficult.
