I guess there wasn't much about this one to spark my interest. I don't find this character and setting as interesting as the classic Dirk Pitt books from decades ago. Still, I normally will finish one of Cussler's books in a few days. This one took me almost a month. It wasn't one of those that was hard to put down and maybe ignore for a day or two while reading. I would independently verify before accepting anything Cussler writes as factual. I have a file where I have recorded all kinds of incorrect facts I have seen in Cussler's books, including errors in scuba diving which is a mainstay for some of his books. They are still good stories but there is no clear division between what is altered to make a story work. Using these books to get a historical perspective on things might be akin to watching a John Wayne western to get an idea as to what Arizona was like in the late 1800s.
