Holy crow did this one not age well. The idea for the general story wasn't a bad one, but you get the feeling Cussler has never actually met a real live woman before.

I've read more recent Pitt books, so I wasn't going in expecting a woman to save the day or anything, but woo boy was this one misogynistic in the extreme.
