Book Reviews of Iceberg (Dirk Pitt Adventure)
Book Review: Offensive even by Seventies standards
Summary: 1 Stars
I remember the Seventies. Yes, they could be sexist, but very few published books of that time were as relentlessly homophobic, sexist and violent as this piece of crap. Example: in one scene, the Admiral's secretary is bringing coffee to Pitt and the Admiral, climbing a galley stair. The Admiral, without warning, accelerates. The secretary is thrown backwards, doused in scalding coffee. When she remonstrates with her boss, he and Pitt joke that she must be on her period. Real men take responsibility for their actions, especially when they hurt someone else, but Dirk Pitt is crafted to appeal to the cardboard, testosterone-laden heroes of the Matt Helm generation. At the time this book was written, the women's movement was nearly ten years old, and most honest and sensitive authors had made at least token gestures towards reforming their old, condescending, patronizing attitudes towards women. But not Cussler. While it may have been too much to expect a he-man author of the Seventies to treat gays with respect, it was definitely not asking too much of them to treat women with more respect than Cussler's characters did. As a woman and a reader, who has enjoyed more than her share of Bond, Helm, Marlowe and the rest of the hard-boiled school, I found Dirk Pitt nearly intolerable.
Summary of Iceberg (Dirk Pitt Adventure)
Frozen inside a million-ton mass of ice--the charred remains of a long-missing luxury yacht, vanished en route to a secret White House rendezvous. The only clue to the ship's priceless--and missing--cargo: nine ornately carved rings and the horribly burned bodies of its crew.Book Subjects
