Pacific Vortex (Book #6 in Series of 20) The majority of Clive's adventure novels are part of multi-book series. Even though Pacific Vortex was published later in 1983, it is considered the 1st to be read chronologically in the series; though not required. We believe you will find the novels a great summer reading escape and an everyday, anyday adventure.
Dirk Pitt, death-defying adventurer and deep-sea expert, is put to the ultimate test as he plunges into the perilous waters of the Pacific Vortex - a fog-shrouded sea zone where dozens of ships have vanished without a trace.
The latest victim is the awesome super-sub Starbuck, America's deep-diving nuclear arsenal. Its loss poses an unthinkable threat to national defense. Pitt's job is to find it, salvage it, before the sea explodes. In a furious race against time, Pitt's mission swirls him into a battle with underwater assassins - and traps him in the arms of a Summer Moran, the most stunningly exotic and dangerous woman ever to enter Pitt's life. As the countdown heads toward disaster, Clive Cussler plummets his hero onto an ancient sunken island - the astonishing setting for the explosive climax of Pacific Vortex !
Dirk Pitt is the ultimate man of action: always ready for any challenge,
always prepared to pit quick wits and brawn against an intractable
problem.
Ex-US Air force, he is cool, courageous and resourceful, which
is why he works for the US National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA)
- the undersea counterpart to NASA. In service of NUMA Pitt travels
across the globe - and wherever he goes, action and adventure are sure
to follow...
