Books like Vulcan's Forge

Imagine a story much worse than anything Clive Cussler has written and you have Vulcan's Forge. The main character is a geologist, I mean, the best-most-awesome-smartest-best looking-military trained geologist who can do anything/kill anyone/screw anyone with a look from his deep blue gray eyes at a moments notice. The plot is that he must stop an evil Japanese genius from taking over Hawaii in a military coup AND from getting control of a big ass volcano with special properties that the Russians planted 50 years prior and is now about to sprout out of the ocean. I knew that it was garbage going in, but I was desperate for a book to read and this one was on top of a pile right next to me. It probably could have been decent, but the main character is like a God and everytime he gets himself out a jam he chugs a few beers and wants to bone the hot chick he just saved. If I had to guess, I'd say that the author is fantasizing about himself as an action hero.
