I need to get into the Dirk Pitt series.  I've read both of Cussler's Sea Hunters books about his real-life shipwreck-finding escapades, and I found his writing style massively entertaining.  (His description of a potato assault on a French naval frigate is something else. ) I'm sure his fiction is every bit as fun.

It's great, though like all great authors he settles into a routine all too quickly. Evil corporation is causing huge ecological or economic disaster, Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino (his sidekick) must sneak into several of the bad guy's fortresses, in the end the corporation is disbanded and the world saved.

The thing is, everything's borderline over the top, in a good way. A lot of the time I'll be reading and think, 'that was too easy and obvious a way to get out of that' but the thing is, I don't care, it's great fun.

I read Cyclops feat. Dirk Pitt by C.Cussler as a ten year old. I don't remember much except the part about the space shuttle and the moon, however.

So am I, but it doesn't stop me from reading.  Writing is what November is for.

As of now, it's not known...yet.

Guy, it's a joke...listen to the promotion briefing for becoming an Admiral.

1) Not exactly news.
2) My comment was intended as good-natured ribbing, but I forgot that all emotions on the internet are assumed to be negative, unless remarks are followed by an inane smiley.  [conspicuous absence of inane smiley]

[Commander Zane]

Well or work well for a good poking fun at.
