It's been years since I read this, but a friend recently added it to her 'to read' list and it popped up on my feed. I clicked on it to see if I'd written a review (I hadn't). Then I descried the reviews deriding the book for being misogynistic. All I can say in response is that it's sad that people will rate a book one star because a man (the hero in the tradition of Alan Quartermain, James Bond, Sam Spade and many other similar manly men who didn't tolerate a simpering fool of any sex) slaps a woman in it. This week a major Hollywood studio issued an apology for a promotional billboard with a woman (a female action hero) being choked by a male villain. Is there no appreciation for context? The hypersensitivity is madness. This book is escapist literature primarily for a male audience. The reader is no more likely to go and slap a woman, to knock some sense into her, than he is to go on a submarine adventure and walk away the owner of a rare automobile. But he is more than likely to have that fantasy, and what's wrong with it if he does? Not a thing. Is the modern man such a sad specimen that he can't deny himself the pleasure of lashing out at a daft bint when so inclined? If he is, it may be because modern authors are too politically correct to even include the act in a wish fulfillment novel of this sort. I'd like to slap some sense into the increasingly politically correct literary establishment (with all their completely ridiculous propaganda, promoting their flawed social agenda), starting with the rather lardy author who has the top review of this book. Like Sam Spade, in the Maltese Falcon, I'd tell him "when you're slapped, you'll take it and like it." Anyway, Dirk Pitt novels aren't great works of literature. They are fun, and I like them. Also, if you uptight morons want something to whine about, then read some George MacDonald Fraser (whose books I adore).
