A review by gabbeebe
The Chase by Clive Cussler

2.0

I struggled for a bit trying to decided how I felt about this book, suspecting I thought it was sexist, but not wanting to label it so just because it has a male protagonist. At last I found the exact sentence that illustrated how much this book was not written for women: "Then Bell said 'Everything is delicious. You'll make some lucky man a wonderful wife one day.' The words came like a warm breeze across the nape of her neck and a flush of blood flowed across her breasts, hardening the nipples.'"
The author seems to be under the misconception that the slightest hint of marriage from a male suitor turns women on and makes them randy. Not quite.
If you can get past the blatant sexism and that Issac Bell is whole unrealistic as a character, it is an adventure story that has its place among the reading public.
The history tidbits were interesting.
