Morsa di ghiaccio

At 515 pages, this story was stretched out way too much to keep my interest. Not a good thing. It would have been better pared down to maybe 350 pages. This was another example of Cussler's later books being co-written and not nearly as good as his earlier books where he was the sole author. I was re Leggi tutto

While I haven't read the other Dirk Pitt books, I still enjoyed this one.

Clive Cussler has penned a life's work of novels about Dirk Pitt and NUMA. Most of the novels start the same way. Cussler tells a tale about some ancient well known historical disaster, or made up disaster, then ties a modern day search to find something in connection with the past. The earlier novel Leggi tutto

4 Stars for Artic Drift (Dirk Pitt #20) (audiobook) by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler read by Scott Brick. Another great adventure. I really enjoy Scott Brick’s narration.

The frozen tundra, the beautiful islands and inlets of British Columbia and…war with Canada? This is the first Pitt book I have read co-authored by Clive’s son, Dirk Cussler (I’m kind of jumping around and reading whatever looks interesting to me in this series, I know), and I gotta say, I think he d Leggi tutto

Artic Drift by Clive Cussler & Dirk Cussler Cussler’s books are like my favorite maple glazed donuts, tasty not filling but oh so delicious. Global warming and unrestrained greed are addressed in this Dirk Pitt and kids book. Cussler always does a terrific hook at the beginning of each book. He sets Leggi tutto

I pulled a mental ‘uh-oh’ when the preface to this novel retold the story of Franklin’s 1848 Arctic expedition in the ships ‘Terror’ and ‘Erebus.’ I had just finished Dan Simmons “The Terror” and not sure I wanted to revisit this subject right away. I should have known Clive wouldn’t let that happen Leggi tutto

Our story begins in the nineteenth century, as two sailing ships, the Erebus and Terror, battle frigid temperatures, starvation, scurvy and a strange madness that besets the men as they struggle to breach the cold Northwest Passage. Eventually, the two vessels separate with the pack ice and open wat Leggi tutto

I have always been a sucker for Clive Cussler's books and I don't think I'll ever stop reading his books. Clean, pure adventure is how I can describe it. The adventure plus the positive note that his books always end in is what I look for whenever I pick up one of his books. The 'Arctic Drift' was a Leggi tutto
