Summary: The Pitts
Review: This is not a bad story if you can enjoy an unrealistic protagonist like Dirk Pitt. He's tall, handsome, tough, inexplicably rich, has military rank and civilian standing, and enjoys political clout through his father (Senator Pitt) and friends. Basically, he's Batman without the costume and with more explosive gadgets. The women in the story (a doctor and a diplomat) gush at his patronizing remarks about their good looks and hurl themselves at his feet (and into his bed). The best thing Clive Cussler brings to this story is his experience and knowledge of deep sea operations. The story boasts plenty of action, but it's all a little too unrealistic to hold my attention. I also disagree with the jacket's comment about Clive Cussler being a lot like Dirk Pitt. No real person is like Dirk Pitt.

Summary: Cussler Thrills Again
Review: This is one of the best Cussler books out there. It's suspenseful, packed with action, and loaded with plot twists to keep the reader on his or her toes. The second half of the book is loaded with action. The only complaint I have is that the President is generic and easily convinced of anything. He seems to be more of a puppet.Still, I heartily recommend this book.

Summary: tripe
Review: this is the first cussler book i have read and i just do not understand why he is so popular. the idea was a good one, but the writing and the plotline were just awful. this is the kind of book which makes me want to give up my day job and start writing thrillers myself, because i cannot see how i could produce anything as unconvincing and wooden as this.

Summary: JAMES BOND MEETS INDIANA JONES - DIRK PITT
Review: THIS IS THE THIRD CUSSLER NOVEL I HAVE READ AND MY FAVORITE TO DATE. AS ALWAYS, CUSSLER WEAVES A FANTASTIC TALE OF ACTION ADVENTURE COMBINED WITH SOME REAL QUESTIONS. "WHAT IMPACT WILL THE DISCOVERY OF A LOST TREASURE HAVE ON CURRENT SOCIETY?" TREASURE PROVIDES A VERY INTERESTING, FAST PACED READ. A MUST FOR CUSSLER FANS OR A GREAT INTRODUCTION TO THE AUTHOR.

Summary: THE first and so far best i read from clive cussler!!!
Review: This was a great story!!!Although this was the first book i've read from Clive,the story was so brilliantly place together,an archealogical find in ice capped greenland to discovery of how the roman empire was expanded beyond what the history books tell you.Don't forget the attempt to kill Hala kamil,mexican president Delorenzo.The only fault with this book was at times the story can get unbelievable,but still this was a great story.

Summary: This Book Is Awesome!!
Review: This was my first Clive Cussler book and let just say that I'm hooked.I couldn't wait to get to the bookstore to get the next one.The only problem I had was chosing the next one.DIRK PITT is like James Bond,but he takes it to the next level.DIRK is always thinking and going non-stop.He bounces from Iceland to the South Pole then to Texas.DIRK is always in the right place at right time.If you want a page turner this is it!

Summary: great first Cussler book
Review: This was the first Cussler/Pitt book I had ever read and it was the best book I have read at the time. A friend had given it to me and he gave me some other books along with it I read the other ones and then I read this book I was just blown away by how thorough it was in its discriptions, ever since then I read every one of his knew books and everyone of the old ones I could get my hands on. I've read other books from other authers but everyone and everytime I always say to myself (with out knowing it) when is Dirk Pitt going to come onto the sceen but then I remember that its not a Clive Cussler novel.

Summary: Classic Cussler
Review: This was the third Cussler novel I have read and I can't believe they keep getting better and better. Treasure is simply unbelievable. Cussler is the master at intertwining sub-plots as well as establishing intriguing and sinister characters. A must-read for anyone who enjoys a great book
