Vixen 03

De: Clive Cussler

Narrado por: Scott Brick

A Sunday Times best seller

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

Over 30 years ago, on an ultrasecret flight to the South Pacific, the transport plane Vixen 03 vanished. It was believed to be lost at sea. And carrying canisters of the most lethal substance known to man.

Now Vixen 03 has returned to haunt the world. Dirk Pitt, the ace maritime troubleshooter who raised the Titanic, is the only man who can overcome the nightmarish problems involved in retrieving her cargo. And the price of failure is terrifying.

"Cussler is hard to beat." ( Daily Mail)

"Clive Cussler is the guy I read." (Tom Clancy)

"The Adventure King." ( Daily Express)

The end

The role of Africa in the story was very confusing. I think it could’ve been done better.

Enjoyable

A very small bit of a gap remembering the disparate plot at the beginning, but came together nicely later.

Disconnected

The plot line strayed so far it was difficult to believe a new line had developed. Good but not great.

The mystery

I loved the twists and turns of the story. I didn’t know where the story was going.

Dirk vs apartheid

This volume of the Dirk Pitt series is somewhat dated today, taking place in the days when apartheid and white rule held sway in South Africa. Intrigues between the ruling government, or at least some of their less scrupulous agents, and a somewhat successful black freedom fighter group. Throw in the wild cards of a long thought lost deadly bioweapon and the completely accidental involvement of Dirk Pitt, and you have an exciting, if dated, adventure yarn. Well worth a recommendation. Clive Cussler was a man ahead of his time.

Better ending than middle

Almost over detailed multiple story lines, but they all pan out together in the ending

Great road trip listening

Fast moving, Classic Cussler style… intricately intertwined story laced with humor, action, insidious villains, high level tech (of its time), and, of course, wonderful heroes.

Too many story lines

Funny how a congressman can black mail a single congresswoman over pictures taken of two single people?? Exactly what was the angle…from a plane sunken with mass destruction gases in it to a African civil war…very disappointing to hear not only the disrespect towards women but the constant cliches…far fetched once again

The connection between the South African story line, and Vixen 03.

An interesting story line with many surprises. Dirk Pitt is a true hero. Highly recommended.

The History and Story

Always a fan of Clive Cussler series. Still a very interesting and impactful series that combines history and fiction that we can appreciate.
