Reader Reviews:
A solid adventure novel (0/0 people found this helpful)
Cussler is on form with Vixen 03. It's definitely one of his better early novels. Dirk Pitt, a recurring character, features in this stand-alone tale of terrorism, with plenty of mystery and action. The second quarter of the book is tough going, for it doesn't feature Pitt at all. At this point there are quite a few characters introduced in a short space of time and it is quite taxing to keep up. However, Cussler is canny with his prose and utilises a few summarising techniques to keep the readers on track. There is good reason for the depth of story early on - the plots are well twisted and create a decent level of suspense. Ultimately Vixen delivers, in terms of quality and quantity. It doesn't over play the story, and the finale is well executed. If you remember to take Cussler's work with a hefty pinch of salt you'll enjoy Vixen 03 - a solid adventure yarn.
Dirk Pitt is THE man (3/3 people found this helpful)
This is my favourite Cussler novel, and I know them all nearly by heart. He created a monumental hero in Dirk Pitt, and his sidekick Al. The way Cussler combines two stories until the shattering climax is brilliant, and keeps me coming backl again and again to this book.

As good as it gets (3/3 people found this helpful)
Dirk Pitt - the ulimate man. If only real men came this good. The plot in this book is just as intriguing , if not more so, than any of Clive Cussler's books. As time runs out, the pace increases so that you are swept along on a wave of excitement and anticipation. Will he overcome the evil? It's Dirk Pitt, what do you think? A truly great read and very hard to put down!
It was brilliant (3/3 people found this helpful)
As with all Clive Cussler books, this was brilliant. I think I have read just about all his books, and as usual they are so good I have yet to pick a favourite. This book is filled with exceptional descriptions which really put you in the thick of things, and an exciting stroyline which keeps you hooked. I will read it again and again.
