The worst of Clive Cussler.

What has happened to Clive Cussler? This was the worst book I have read of his,(and I have read ALL of his books). This book is full of inaccuracy throughout. Since when is the pacific ocean between south america and africa. Not only in print,but in the picture on page 313. This is not the Clive Cussler all of us fans know. Where was the proof reader to find these false facts and all the misspelled words. All through this book leaves with the thought that Clive Cussler did not write this book and I find it hard to believe that he even read it. Bestseller to what?Show Less

    come on people! he didnt write it!

    i find it hilarious that some people complain that "clive cussler surely couldn't have wrote this book"! he didn't! grant blackwood was given clive's blessing to write spartan gold and lost empire. clive wrote his first dirk pitt novel in 1970 something! he is 79 so i'm sure he's tired by now. he merely consulted grant through the process of writing these books. i think they are magnificent and thanks to clive cussler i have now found a great new author. i can only hope grant blackwood will keep on writing this great new series for years to come!

    CURLED UP WITH CUSSLER AND BLACKWOOD..

    .......because Sam and Remi Fargo are off again on another unusual adventure. This time they take you on a joyride to Tanzania, Zanzibar, Madagascar and into the Indian Ocean. The action is low-key but suspenseful as Sam and Remi try to stay one step ahead of an assassin bent on keeping them from revealing a skeleton in a Mexican President's ancestry. This is a book with a fun couple, smarmy villains, great locations and a rousingly good story skillfully told. If you want a super old-fashioned adventure story - this will more than satisfy any cravings you might have. Want a macho male tale with a lot of mayhem. Blackwood does tell that kind of story in his three other books - The End of Enemies - The Wall of Night - An Echo of War - all starring covert agent Briggs Tanner with new and interesting characters in spectacular settings and exciting stories.

    Good read

    Wasn't a thrill a minute like Dirk Pitt but the young couple leads and interesting and exciting life. I would read another of their adventures.

    another ghost writer...stinks as bad as Tom Clancy Minions

    Tried to exchange with BN as I didn't realize it wasn't a CC original. They flat out refused so I'm afarid I will be going elsewhere. Other retailers purchases will work on the nook

    Ok for rainy days

    A one to two time reader ok as audiobook for driving down the road. Story line is so so could be a little more like spartan gold. All in all I'd give it three and a half stars.

    The worst

    Absolutely the worst novel I have read to the end. So much action that I did not just throw it in the trash. Science fiction is more logical and believable than this. i will not buy nor read another Cussler novel

    Not Good

    The plot didn't warrant the need for our two adventurers to be putting themselves in harms way(many times). No one gives a rats azz about the corrupt Mexican government because if the current regime crumbles another corrupt regime will take its place.

    Clever Cussler

    This book was much better than Spartan Gold. The only mystery that remains is how these "bad guys" keep finding the Fargo's in these remote places on the globe? Was somewhat explained in the earlier adventure of Spartan, but not so much in this book. Could not help but notice that Clive has written himself into these stories and shown up in the strangest places in clever character form. But worth the price of admission for sure.

    Awesome Read

    Once again Cussler has created an epic read. From Tanzinia to Krakatoa, we follow Sam and Remi Fargo as they once again find themselves between gun toting maniacs and a historical mystery that will keep you guessing until the end. For both fans of Cussler or people who love adventure, this is a must read.

    Clive Cussler Novels

    I began reading Clive Cusslers novels, the first of which was Mediterranian Caper, when it was first publshed. I have been hooked on all his novels since.
    I have read every novel that he has published, approx 40, and have found that he is not only knowledgeable about what he writes but brings the heroes to life. Dirk Pitt, Kurt Austin, The Oregon Series and the new super sleuth from the Wrecker and Spy.

    I look forward to all his novels and hope that he continues to publish books for many more years. I particularly enjoy the Dirk Pitt and Kurt Austin series.
    An outstanding author. I have all of his books and look forward to the next book that is coming out entitled Lost Empire
