Pitt is back in a fun and thrilling ride as he chases down the theft of some high tech secrets while solving the mystery of a string of missing ships. Plenty of action keeps the pages turning as he hops from Chile to Mexico to Panama with his crew from Numa alongside. Highly recommended for fans of action adventure!

Decent but not outstanding

The book was a bit disappointing in that it was not as suspenseful as previous itinerations of the series. Especially the historic component, which was always an important part of the plot in past books, felt like it was added as an afterthought. You could scratch the story of tje Barbarigo from the book and the plot would not suffer. Too bad since the historic part was always my most favorite one in the seried and I was sad to see that the authors failed to provide a solid link between the past and the present as was usually the case.
A must read for fans of the series, but I wouldn't recommend it as a book to people unfamiliar with the series. Hopefully the next one will be better.

Meh...

After this one, I feel the need to go back and reread The Mediterranian Caper. I am desperate for a dose of the old Cussler wit and sense of adventure sorely missing from this tale.

Cussler scores again

Another strong Dirk Pitt offering that combines action, a little obscure history and respect for the ocean.

In my opinion Dirk Pitt has literally gone off the tracks on this one.  I am half way through the book and yawning.  What a letdown as I have ready every Cussler novel printed.  By the same token Isaac Bell series is off the tracks as well.  They were not bad at all through The Wrecker but very boring after that.  The Juan Cabrillo series remains readable along with most Kurt Austin books but the insufferable Sam and Remi Fargo series have been just readable. It is quite obvious that Clive isn't doing much writing at all.  Oh well, onward to the next great one?  Any tips?

Cussleer loses his momentum

Not a great read. This series used to be good, but has gotten progressively worse. It could be because Dirk is doing most of the writing (you can clearly tell the difference). Plots are thin and character development poor. Hopefully the next outing is better.

Highly Recommended

If you like reading Clive Cussler then please purchase this book. He always has interesting themes and does insert a unique description of himself in each book. Fun and fast reading!

I've been reading about Dirk Pitt since 1986. I didn't care for the more recent "off shoots". But in Poison Arrow...Dirk is back, very enjoyable as always. Clive is the best.

Very enjoyable read

The Dirk Pitt fun continues. A very fast read because the story segments are reasonably short and the story lines are fast paced. The whole gambit of characters involved with Dirk Pitt over the years are in this plot. Challenging adversaries, exotic locations, impossible situations overcomed which keeps the enjoyment maxed.

Just because Cussler got too old to write is no excuse for the droves of horrible material being put out in the name of "clive". Everything after the discover of Dirk Jr and whatever the female Dirk dingbat's name is, this series lost its magic long ago. I tried to get back into the books, but a quick perusal of this one was so intolerable I chucked it back onto the shelf without a second thought. Its a shame that the Cussler name has come to this seedy, desperate, profit driven garbage. Gave it one star because site won't let me leave zero.

Check it out!

This is a wonderful book. You have to read it to enjoy it as much as we did.

While still poised on the brink of an extraordinary advancement

While still poised on the brink of an extraordinary advancement in underwater propulsion, two scientists suddenly disappear. Meanwhile, huge ore carriers with cargos of rare Earth elements simply vanish off the face of the planet. Remnants of their gallant crew are seared to a crisp, their bodies burned to cinders.
The mysterious disappearances arouse the interest of Dirk Pitt and the staff of NUMA. As it turns out, investigating the disappearances is a harrowing race against death. Dirk and his close friend, Al Giordino, are almost doomed to a watery grave and half a world away, Pitt’s children barely escape their submersible before running out of air. It would seem that one very determined man is capable of almost anything to keep his secrets safe.
Indeed, Bolcke thinks he has the means to corner the market on rare Earth elements, one of the primary components of the Sea Arrow’s unique submarine engines. If his Chinese ally, Zhou, remains loyal to the cause, the two men will be fabulously wealthy. Unfortunately, Zhou may have a hidden agenda of his own.
I really enjoyed the interplay among Loren and Dirk Pitt, Pitt’s son and daughter, Ann Bennett, and Pablo, a mercenary with seemingly nine lives. The corruption revealed at all levels of society was astonishing and the detailed accounts of the submersible craft were tantalizing. Once again, Mr. Cussler has treated the reader to a great read and a real page turner.
