limbo Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Dirk Pitt, Clive Cussler's hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Clive Cussler is getting just too wierd! His last novel has Dirk Pitt's previously unknown twin children show up to meet their daddy in the last chapter. Sort of like Cussler realised he never should have never killed off the hot gal in the underwater base in that book years ago -- so he made her miraculously survive a nuclear bomb and have his children. Huh? Best book was the one where Margaret Trudeau got buried alive with her lover, and Dirk Pitt got the best of James Bond! Oh, yeah ... we ended up with a huge new country: the United States of Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Cussler has released quite a few Books since the one when the Twins turned up. i've always liked Atlantis Found and have re-read it many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 Have to agree tho that Cussler sometimes seem to smoke a bit much of the funny stuff the way some of the stories turn out. Have a customer now who likes Dirk Pitt and James Bond and his emal adress is Dirk Bond. Cool guy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 I haven't read Atlantis Found yet. Cussler does have a great -- if bizarre -- imagination. But he seems to have passed beyond the realm of plausibility these days. I loved his early books. p.s. Really a shame the producer made such a bodge of the film version of "Raise the Titanic". Dirk Pit could have been a great screen hero. But "Raise the Titanic" spent all of its budget on recreating the Titanic and cut out big chunks of the story. I watched the flick with a friend -- and had to explain to him what the story line was so that he could try to figure it out. If you hadn't read the book, you were forked. The film made no sense at all. Plus the heroine did not have to expose her boobs in the film! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayjann Posted November 6, 2005 Report Share Posted November 6, 2005 i agree that Raise The Titanic Film was a crock of shit. haven't seen the version of Sahara yet. but that was another book i liked as i thought the storyline of Abraham Lincoln's body found in the Sahara Desert was interesting. also liked the book about Captain Nemo being a real person and The Nautilus being found. but he has branched out in recent Years and introduced new characters. he now has Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala who are just Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino with different Names. but he has just introduced characters from what he calls 'The Oregon Files'. but i found the first book 'Golden Buddha' a hard read.
