Pacific Vortexby Clive Cussler with Grant BlackwoodThe Dirk Pitt® Series Original publication date: 1984 by Putnam paperback | 9780553593457 |
Dirk Pitt, death-defying adventurer and deep-sea expert, is out 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 superb 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 Summer Moran, the most stunningly exotic and dangerous toward disaster, onto an ancient sunken island—the astonishing setting for the explosive climax of Pacific Vortex!
