The book Pacific Vortex by Clive Cussler has so many twists to the story that at times its hard to follow like when he disobeys a direct order from his Superior or when a girl tries to drug him, or when the mysterious mist sinks a submarine. The book is very good but when he disobeys a direct order I think that was strange because he followed all the other orders "Poor old Boland" Pitt said softly to him self "He hasn't the vaguest notion of what I'm up to." This is that he disobeys his order to check the submarine from the out side not actually go in. Or when the girl tries to drug him that was weird."And gently pulled a hypodermic syringe from between her loosely clasped fingers." It turns out that the drug was a truth syrm. Also when the mist sinks the submarine I thought how can mist do that? "The starbuck was expected to dock at Pearl Harbor the following Monday. But when she failed to show." This is the most technology submarine in the world how could simple fog sink it. The book is very good but the twist make it hard to understand at times.

In Pacific Vortex by Clive Cussler, Dirk Pitt decides to kidnap an assassin after from another country most likely Russia. Dirk hit the assassin to knock her out he could of left her where he hit her. But he decides to take her back to his room. He probably could of told his superior officer or even the police but she attacks him and is able to escape. I have no clue as to why he would want to take her to his room. She knows what his room number is and all she needs to do is call up her agency and have him picked up. So he really did himself more bad then good on kidnapping her. So I think some times the bad things we do cloud our judgment over the good we try to do. The bad usually has some bad repercussions. So that is why so good people do bad things due to judgment clouding.

The book "pacific vortex" by Clive Cussler starts out very odd it starts out on a nuclear submarine that has noticed that the ocean floor is rising very fast. The ocean floor rose so high that the submarine hit it and it spank a leek. The ship was lost, but what bothers me about the beginning of the novel is that the sea floor rose so fast that a submarine that detected is wasn't able to get away from it. So what naturally occurring event would cause that? And there's a communication canister that the main character finds but its several 100 yards from shore but he swims to it but the current is to strong and he should be unable to get back to shore but he some how gets back to the shore with the canister. How is it possible that a current that's to strong to fight to shore just lets him go back to the shore. So the book starts out very odd but exciting.
