Dirk Pitt, the protagonist in Clive Cussler's 'Pacific Vortex!', is an adventurer and deep-sea expert who is thrust into a perilous mission to salvage a missing nuclear submarine in the Pacific Vortex, a mysterious sea zone where numerous ships have vanished without a trace. As Pitt races against time, he faces underwater assassins, dangerous traps, and a femme fatale named Summer Moran. The book is described as a fast-paced, action-packed adventure with elements of mystery and suspense, reminiscent of a James Bond storyline. Cussler's writing style is noted to be entertaining, easy to read, and filled with clichés and formulaic elements that make for a light and enjoyable read.

From The Publisher:
DIRK PITT'S FIRST, MOST TERRIFYING ADVENTURE!
Dirk Pitt, death-defying adventurer and deep-sea expert, is put to the ultimate test as he plunges into the perilous waters of the Pacific Vortex-a fog-shrouded area where dozens of ships have vanished without a trace. The latest victim is the awesome supersub Starbuck, bearing America's deep-diving nuclear arsenal. Its loss poses an unthinkable threat to national defense. Pitt's job is to find it and salvage it before international forces beat him to the prize or the sea explodes in a nuclear blast-whichever comes first. Pitt's mission also leads him into the arms of Summer Moran, the most stunningly exotic and dangerous woman ever to enter his life. As the countdown heads toward disaster, Pitt has no choice but to descend through the shark-infested depths to an ancient sunken island, from which he may never again emerge to see the light of day.
