Review – Raise the Titanic

This was released several years before the actual Titanic was located, so just finding it would have been enough drama all by itself. Raising it from the bottom of the ocean would have been the icing on the cake (if not overkill). But as this is a Clive Cussler story, naturally it also has to involve secret agents and a radioactive MacGuffin needed to power an SDI anti-missile system. Not to mention recurring Cussler character Dirk Pitt, who’s clearly being sold to the audience via multiple repetitions of his name (if you made it into a drinking game you’d die) in an effort to turn him into a James-Bond-esque franchise character. Despite the plot holes big enough to drive an SSBN through, it’s an entertaining bit of dated international intrigue. Mildly amusing
