I read this a long time ago and liked it, but I wasn’t sure it would age well. It really didn’t, adventure novels with male protagonists written in the 70s? It contains everything you’d think it would. A touch of misogyny, racism, etc. Barring the obvious flaws, I thought this was a fun story written before the Titanic was found. I reread it because of the Titan sub incident.
