Summary: An exciting thriller with all the favourite characters
Review: This book is one of Clive Cussler's masterpieces. When a deadly red-tide sweeps the world's oceans Pitt, Giordino and Gunn travel up the Niger on a research boat looking for the answers. When its leads to contamination from a chemical disposal plant owned by a French Tycoon, Pitt and Giordino race across the Sahara to stem the tide before the world's oceans die and with them human life. A great read for ages 13 through to 50, a fantastic book full of suspense and real top quality Dirk Pitt adventure.

Summary: give me a break
Review: Okay, action/adventure isn't my cup of tea, but I found the basic idea of this book laughable. I'm an archaeologist and this isn't archaeology. Cracked me up! I'm also very intersted in Civil War history and the idea that a Civil War submarine crossed the Atlantic and ended up in Africa is positively ludicris. The only thing funnier is who was on the sub (I won't give it away and spoil your good laugh). And then Clive Cussler shows up in the middle of the African desert. The author also explains why Mary Todd Lincoln was crazy, funny, I thought it was because she was bipolar and lost her son and husband.

Summary: Awesome
Review: This is only the second book I've read by Clive Cussler (the other one being RAISE THE TITANIC) and I'd say this one is a lot better. I really don't see how this couldn't be his best overall. This had everything. From mystery to adventure to suspense. It has it all. Mainly it's about Dirk Pitt, Al Giordino, and some other character that I can't remember exactly. They're trying to find this contamination in the ocean which could kill off everything on this earth in a very short time. That's the basic plot. However, their are TONS of other tie-ins. Everything from the gold-mining cave to Al and Dirk's adventure through the Sahara desert to a sunken Civil war ship in Africa. Storytelling doesn't get much better than this. You have to read this if you like really good and fun books.

Summary: Vintage Cussler
Review: This is clive Cussler at his best. First off, the introduction with the Confederate ironclad is great. Next, the setting, the Sahara desert and an African river, are both very intriguing and great settings. Then, the plot is riveting and will keep you glued to this book for hours. This is the best Dirk Pitt adventure that I've read so far. The villain, as always, is great and the ending is the finest I've read.

Summary: Precocious Pulp-- Pan? Praise? Preposterous. Pure Pleasure!!
Review: Following trusted recommendation, I devoured my first Cussler. The successful intersection of daring adventure and... well, not much else, made this an enjoyably quick, yet scintillating read. The two star rating reflects an "all-in universal score", much like that used in springboard and platform diving-- difficulty multiplied by kubuki-theater-execution. This is a must-read for no one, but an essential part of the cocktail party repertoire for any BoBo. In summary, I loved it.

Summary: The Best Book I've Ever Read!
Review: All I can say about this one is "Wow!". After I read the first page, I couldn't put it down. The story is part mystery, part adventure, and will keep you on the edge of your seat. However, I don't reccomend it to anyone who has an I.Q. of under 90, or has a low constitution. The words can get a little confusing and there is a little gore, but that's why I like it. It's challenging. Overall, this is the best book I've EVER read(Yes, even better than Harry Potter!).

Summary: Another Great Read
Review: What a premise and terrific subplots ! OK, OK...so it is a bit far-fetched, but that is what good fiction does, it stretched the imagination to possible what-ifs and if onlys'. Lots of the usual twists and turns, but again, Cussler has given us an involved tale with characters we can visualize and a locale that always evokes possibilities. Cussler is a terrific storyteller and I like to think I have helped pay for his car collection...well, maybe a few gallons of car wax ! If you are looking for a book that makes a great beach read or one of those books to cuddle up with on a cold night, this is the book - out of his many works. Enjoy !
