About this listen

A Sunday Times best seller

The thrilling first Dirk Pitt classic from multi-million-copy king of the adventure novel, Clive Cussler.

Fully armed and with all hands onboard, the nuclear submarine Starbuck sailed into the calm Pacific Ocean for sea trials - and vanished. No wreckage, no signals, no survivors: nothing...until ace maritime troubleshooter Dirk Pitt finds a single chilling clue in the shark-torn surf off Hawaii - the log of the Starbuck.

'Do not search for us, it can only end in vain....'

A crazed journal of madness and death is all that remains. And the captain's final scrawled, fear-crazed note locates the Starbuck's grave hundreds of miles from her last known position! The search for the Starbuck plunges Dirk Pitt into his most shattering assignment to date - a whirlpool of deep-sea mystery and terror - the Pacific Vortex!

Finally the beginning

I have all but the first four Dirk novel. Finally the first. No disappointment, the story as fantastical as all the rest but totally on the fringe of believable
Enjoy

Overall, a creative plotline.

The plot line was overall very creative. The character development was good. The narration was outstanding, as is ALWAYS the case with Scott Brick. On the negative side, the writer could have evolved from using Neanderthal terms such as “wop“ when referring to the gentleman of Italian descent, or “Oriental“ which refers to objects, not people. I will give the author’s work another try when the next one comes out.

Captivating story!

Such an imaginative story with fast moving plot. The reader is never bored as the plot moves quickly and the characters are unusual and interesting.
