What is the author's style in Vixen 03 by Clive Cussler?

The point of view in the novel, Vixen 03, is third person omniscient. The point of view moves from character to character depending on whose view would be most informative during a given scene. The majority of the novel is seen through the eyes of Dirk Pitt, the novel's hero, but also through the eyes of a collection of characters who are important to the overall plot of the novel. Some of these characters are sympathetic, such as Loren Smith and Al Giordino. Others are dark characters with nothing but malice in mind, like Congressman Daggat. Still others are both sympathetic and dangerous, such as Patrick Fawkes.

The point of view of this novel works because it allows the freedom to move from character to character in order to allow the reader to see things that some characters might have access to but others do not. If the point of view of this novel were to remain with Dirk Pitt, either with a restrictive third person point of view or a first person point of view, the reader would not be allowed access to some meetings that take place outside of Pitt's view or knowledge. Some scenes that take place without Pitt present are important to the development of the plot and therefore would be difficult to represent with another point of view. In this way, the point of view of the novel works.
