Treasure

Summary: A classic adventure-
Review: Treasure is a classic, a great book to start the novice Clive Cussler reader. The hero, Dirk Pitt is the quintessental righter of wrongs. He's James Bond, Indiana Jones and MacGyver all rolled into one, with a great sidekick in Al Giordano. The tongue in cheek humor between the two men make them rivel the greatest comedic teams in history. But when the situation calls for it, they're all business. I have all the Dirk Pitt books and this is one of my favorites. You'll love it.

Summary: A treasure in its own way!!
Review: Treasure is by far one of the best adventure books ever written!! I don't think there was a boring spot in the book. A plane crash in Greenland... The discovery of an old Roman ship carrying history in its cargo hold... An awesome car chase down a ski slope... A hijacking of a cruse liner holding the presidents of Mexico and Egypt hostage... The discovery of the Alexandria Library... Hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants flooding into the American southwest... and finally Dirk face to face with his enemy( or should I say enemies). If you don't take my word for it, then read it and see for yourself. There are just a few flaws in grammer, but otherwise it is a GREAT read!!! Read it, or you will miss out on a truly great book.

Summary: All right
Review: TREASURE was the first Clive Cussler novel I had ever fully read. I'd got SHOCK WAVE out of the library but my interest wandered after about five pages because it was so boring. I then read TREASURE. The opening sequence is better than most. Most of them have a boring sequence of a boat sinking, but TREASURE opens with a battle scene which is far better than any other. The next thing to happen is an airline disaster, then a zany car chase down a ski slope (it's the best scene in any Dirk Pitt book of the three that I've read), a shootout at a chalet in the snow, another shootout in a mill, and finally and hand-to-hand fight scene inside the library of Alexandria. As I read the other Clive Cussler books, I realised that the dialogue was terrible for an experienced author (my favourie exerpts are "His diabolic mind" and "a sandy beach")and there are many, MANY boring scenes with politicians in every single book. Okay.

Summary: One of the greatest Dirk Pitt books ever
Review: Tresure sure delivers the best of Dr. Cussler - it's got a wonderful story, a RICH one, tons of action and cunning both from Pitt and the villains, and the pressure mounts up tremendously until the final pages!
This is my favourite Dirk Pitt book - sharing the #1 spot with Raise the Titanic and Vixen 03.

Summary: Cussler and Pitt at their best!
Review: Two words, Dirk Pitt. Dirk Pitt is the true action adventure hero. An American James Bond you could say. In Treasure Dirk Pitt goes up against the most feared, and respected, assassin in the world. Also at the same time he is in the middle of a search for the treasures of the Library of Alexandria, and is worrying about his own love affairs. I think this book is a spine tingling thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you like Bond movies, or any other espionage/action flic, you will love this. Make your next book Treasure, by Clive Cussler.

Summary: Cussler's best! Do yourself a favor and read it!
Review: Who else but Clive Cussler could weave together a place crash, an ancient shipwreck, an international terrorist who hijacks a cruise ship and the world leaders on board, the attempted overthrow of the Egyptian and Mexican governments and a vast treasure trove hidden for centuries into a pulse-pounding, heart-stopping thriller. Cussler is at the top of his form with this entry in his best-selling Dirk Pitt series and Cussler's hero out does James Bond, Indiana Jones and even Sherlock Holmes in his quest. Pour yourself a tequilla-on-the-rocks with lime, kick back and discover this "Treasure."

Summary: Another 5-Star Winner from Cussler
Review: Wow! What a premise...what if the biggest and best treasures of the Alexandria Library were spirited away and hidden someplace NOBODY would EVER think to find them...? We are talking about THE greatest artifacts known to the ancient world, and could they actually be in TEXAS?!? Well that is just a PART of what is happening here. A fanatical Mexican leader is brewing up a volcano that is about to erupt on the American/Mexican Boarder with potentially catastrophic results. But this too is just a PART of what is happening in this wonderful novel. As usual Pitt comes across an amazingly terrible bad guy (I just wonder HOW Cussler makes these guys even worse than the previous guys...) who is not above ANYTHING to get what he wants. The difference here is that we don't have just ONE bad guy, but TWO. From our first meeting with Dirk Pitt's Father (Senator Pitt) to a hair raising will-they-make-it-or-won't-they death trap at the bottom of the world aboard a cruise ship that literally disappears...if you wanna know more, you just HAVE to pick up this complex thriller. A bit more than the usual plot-twisting for Cussler, but don't worry, he doesn't fail in his resolve to give us what we want: a FUN BOOK TO READ. Way to go Clive! As far as reading this book goes, JUST DO IT!
