Night Probe! by Clive Cussler (1988) - Action Adventure Novel - Perfect for Mystery Lovers & Thriller Readers

I've read a number of the Dirk Pitt novels. I had a roommate after college who had a whole bunch of them and at that point I was spending a couple hours a day on the train, so I was going through books very quickly. He let me read the ones he had. That was about 15 years ago, and until recently I hadn't read another Cussler book. After having read what I think was the first of Cussler's Dirk Pitt stories a couple weeks ago, however, I decided to pick up Night Probe.Wow!This book hooked me really quick. After only a couple of chapters, every time I put it down I could't wait to pick it back up again. And at that point Dirk had yet to make more than a couple of quick appearances.Maybe I'm just not remembering things very well, but this book struck me as rather different than the Pitt novels I read before. It certainly doesn't focus nearly as much on Dirk and the other NUMA characters as many of the other books. It was also a less predictable mystery.I will admit that there were some threads in the story which weren't very well fleshed out and cut off rather abruptly. Even still, I found it a really fun, enjoyable read and would definitely recommend it.
