Clive Cussler books

Once in awhile I need a break from professional reading and historical novels. My good friend Bob Knowlton turned me on to the Clive Cussler books and he keeps me adequately supplied.

I find all his books high on adventure (sort of like the Indiana Jones movies that get crazy with high suspense and then bring you back down…than back up again…), intriguing (you never know what will happen), good guy always wins…no matter what (like a James Bond movie when the villains have 5 machine guns and Bond has a pistol and he shoots each machine gunner while 1000’s of bullets zip past him), and some good sarcastic humor sprinkle throughout.

So far I’ve read:

• Valhalla Rising
• Arctic Drift.  (Dirk Pitt)
• Shock Wave
• Inca Gold
• The Golden Buddha
• Atlantis Found
• Piranha (Oregon Files)
• Havana Storm
• The Bootlegger (This one was pretty cool because part of the story wove around Detroit and Ecorse Michigan where my mom grew up)
• Trojan Odyssey (Dirk Pitt)
• The Eye of Heaven (Fargo)
• Lost City (NUMA files and Kurt Austin)
• White Death (NUMA files and Kurt Austin)
• Polar Shift (NUMA files and Kurt Austin)
• Black Wind (Dirk Pitt)
• Flood Tide (Dirk Pitt)
• The Plague Ship (Oregon Files)
• Zero Hour (NUMA files and Kurt Austin)
