Raise the Titanic
Yet another in the Dirk Pitt series. This one was a little far-fetched perhaps, but I still enjoyed it. Surprising how accurate his ideas about how the Titanic would eventually be found were (at the time it was written, the location of the Titanic was still a mystery). Despite being far-fetched, the characters were interesting and believable. I know the series has been criticised for being unrealistic, and for Dirk Pitt being too indestructable, too much of a hero, but who cares? I think the individual books are each plausible, it's just that when taken as a whole you think no person could really live that adventurous a life. Still. It's a shame NUMA doesn't actually exist, I'd love to work for it.
