Clive Cussler?

Anyone here a Clive Cussler fan?

Personally I've been addicted to his books for years, especially the Dirk Pitt series.

I've never read him, TWT, though I've heard of the name.

What is the series about? - detective?

Dirk Pitt is the only of his series I could stand reading

*looks up at sole Clive Cussler novel perched on the high shelf of her bookshelf*

That book was bought on holiday, and we all know what kind of books you end op buying when the weather is bad ... books where the blurb sounded so ... good ...

Well, his books aren't too bad to read, if it is your kind of thing. Action/adventure/quest/detective kind of thing. Acceptable writing quality, but more man-books, I think, than woman-books

I like him, but then I was planning on being an underwater archaeologist for years, so I may be biased

It's like James Bond, but with Indiana Jones type archaeology

They get awfully the same after a while. I can't read more than about one a year or so.

My hubby read them before we were married. Then one day he handed me Deep Six to read the intro. I couldn't put it down! I love all of the Dirk Pitt novels.

I'm having a hard time with the newer ones written by Clive and Dirk. I didn't get into the ones with Kirk (I think it was), and the one I'm reading now (Black Wind) has some lame spots. Young Dirk's sidekick reminds me of a country hick version of Al.
