A review by balthazarlawson
Poseidon's Arrow by Dirk Cussler, Clive Cussler
4.0
Dirk Pitt as head of NUMA seems to spend an awful lot of time out in the field doing things he use to do when he was employed to be out in the field. He doesn't like being behind the desk. He should be sacked for dereliction of duty and simply given his old job back. This time out he is trying to stop the hijacking of an oar carrier that fits into the pattern of other ships that had been hijacked. Of course it doesn't go according to plan and he and Al end up being held against their will. They have to fight to stay alive and ultimately foil the efforts of the evil deranged businessman.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Summer and Dirk junior stubble on another angle to the same problem plaguing their father. If not for the bad men over reacting to an innocent situation they would never have been dragged into a fight to stop the secret plans of a new American submarine from reaching their final destination after being stolen.
It's all a rather formulaic read but it was still enjoyable and reminiscent of Pitt in his younger days when he was saving the world.
