First time reading Cussler. As an Indiana Jones fan I'm always thirsty for adventure with a side dish of mystery and this book just delivers that. It builds up the plot decently and never loses it's pace. However the characters are a bit shallow and the romance arc of our Dirk Pitt is a bit dated and weak.
The story is about a new American submarine with the latest technologies implemented going missing in a Bermuda like area and our protagonist accidently finding a top secret capsule letter from the sub close to the beach. However as the marine forces prepare to investigate the area we find out that there's more to the story.
