    About this audiobook

    "Dirk Pitt is oceanography's answer to Indiana Jones," praises the Associated Press. "Exotic locations, ruthless villains and many narrow escapes—Cussler's fans come for swashbuckling [and] he delivers." And now Pitt's back to find a crucial piece of marine tech that could reshape the United States' defense program.

    It is the greatest advance in American defense technology in decades—an attack submarine capable of incredible underwater speeds. There is only one problem: A key element of the prototype is missing—and the man who developed it is dead.

    At the same time, ships have started vanishing mid-ocean, and when a few reappear, bodies are found aboard burned to a crisp.Could these mysterious events be connected to an Italian submarine that itself disappeared in 1943?

    It is up to NUMA director Dirk Pitt and his team, aided by a beautiful NCIS agent and by Pitt's children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, to go on a desperate international chase to find the truth, from Washington to Mexico, Idaho to Panama. What they discover at the end of it is a much, much greater threat than even they imagined.

    Filled with breathtaking suspense and extraordinary imagination, Poseidon's Arrow is further proof that when it comes to adventure writing, nobody beats Clive Cussler.

      So-so. Hard to get excited about the Panama Canal, and there are no great escapes or action scenes. Glad to see Dirk and Al are still in business.
    • 4/5
      glad to see dirk pitt & the crew again, great read, went from cover-to-cover
    • 4/5
      The latest installment in the Dirk Pitt series certainly doesn't disappoint. Whilst it follows the same formula as previous novels all the ingredients are new leaving you glued to the pages making excuses to procrastinate on chores and keep reading just a little more.The only real negative I have in regards to this book is the guest appearances/cameo appearances of Clive Cussler himself in the books, it strikes me as odd that Dirk Pitt rarely if ever recognises the Clive Cussler character when they bump into each other throughout the series. Yes, it's a novel little gimmick but the manner in which its implemented seems to break the story flow for me.Otherwise, no complaints. Great book, I eagerly await the next Cussler book.
    • 3/5
      There is no build up of suspense and action in Cussler's books. They hit the ground running and never stop until the end. In this Dirk Pitt episode, the NUMA group gets involved in a plot to corner the world market in rare earth minerals needed to create super magnets such as those needed for a new top secret submarine. The climax takes place in the Panama Canal which is always a fascinating place to visit.
    • 4/5
      A much more entertaining story and better developed characters grace this title than the previous entry by father/son Cussler. These Pitt novels are nowhere near as good as when Clive alone penned them, but the joint efforts between the two seem to be trending in the right direction. I was especially impressed with how the two Pitt children were developed in this one, and the implications of stolen technology from the U.S. really set up the background plot well.
    • 5/5
      Everything you want and expect from Cussler: High Seas high adventure with a sprinkling of historical mystery bookending the story.
    • 4/5
      Great blend of characters covering present and historical events with believable science theme
    • 5/5
      Excellent adventure!
      Pitt's still got it!!
    • 3/5
      Well. I listened to it....massive continuous action means no action. It is repetitive and boring that way. Again, hard to separate the two Dirks and also that the senior Dirk is out in the field with his whole Washington DC staff is anathama. There is nobody at the capitol to defend NUMA and after this time, it would have been gobbled up by it's aggressors and it's budget eaten by others. Addition of a useless NCIS agent was a weird twist--she was captured twice and bad things happened to her--for what reason? I may be getting tired of the series, but I'll soldier on...almost done after 22 episodes.
    • 3/5
      Aardig boek, dat volgens het beproefde Cussler stramien loopt. Eerst een stuk uit het (verre) verleden, en daarna een sprong naar het heden. Het begin was een beetje traag, maar het werd beter toen het verhaal vorderde.

    • 4/5
      Dirk Pitt, with a little help from Al Giordino and his twin children, Summer and Dirk, is out to save the world again, this time from a businessman intent on controlling all the world’s rare earth materials. As usual the book cracks on at great pace, and involves many tense scenarios.
      I would like to report that the master of this genre is not losing his touch, but sadly I feel that this book is not up to the rating level that I give to most of its predecessors – I did not find it holding my attention in quite the same way as previous books have done.
      Once having the bit between his teeth, there is very little that Pitt will not do to defeat his protagonist, including endangering the whole of the Panama Canal with his antics. There are one or two too many coincidences or acts of timing that stretch the incredulity a little bit, and without which the successful out come would never have been achieved. Cussler himself makes his usual appearance, and yet again is not recognised by Pitt who has met him in so many adventures before!
      Not a bad read by any means, but not quite up to the usual Cussler standard.

    • 4/5
      Fun book. Like a dinner in your favorite restaurant. Familiar yet, very satisfying.
    • 5/5
      Another exciting Dirk Pitt adventure from Clive Cussler. The guest appearances by Clive continue. Not too much to say about the book it follows the tried and true formula of the other Dirk Pitt adventures. It has enough historical items, future technology, espionage, ruthless billionaires, and unbelievable action to keep you glued to the book.
    • 5/5
      Once again Clive Cussler delivers another action packed Dirk Pitt story. With all of our favorites there from Al to his wife Loren. This is certainly one you are not going to want to miss. Can't wait for the next Dirk Pitt to come out. I highly recommend this book.
