Clive Cussler Desolation Code

The mix of genres kept the plot unpredictable and exciting. I'm curious whether this was a conscious choice or evolved naturally during writing.

The story moves quickly, but there were moments where I felt it rushed through some parts. Was that intentional to heighten suspense?

This book feels like a natural extension of Cussler's adventure spirit, but I wonder how much of his legacy shaped the narrative choices.
