Book Reviews of Night Probe!
Book Review: Another Great Pitt Novel
Summary: 5 Stars
Can't get enough of Dirk Pitt. He's the best. Great story; I often wonder how much truth is in the history of what Cussler tells. True or not, it's fascinating. A must read.Book Review: Another great novel, by a great novelist...
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? This is one heck of a good read. I believe the first time I read it, I was a sophmore in high school. I've since re-read it, and it's just as good the second time around. This book has the kind of high adventure, suspense, and deep plot that we've all come to expect from this excelent writer. Bottom line: If you haven't read this book, YOU'RE MISSING OUT BIG TIME!
Book Review: Another literary homerun for Cussler...
Summary: 5 Stars
I became a hopelessly addicted Cussler fan after reading the incredible 'Raise The Titanic' in '79 (GEEZ! Has it been THAT long ago??) and ever since then, looking forward to a new Dirk Pitt novel is kinda like a hobby of mine...so you can imagine when 'Night Probe' came out what a thrill it was for me to buy and read it as quickly as possible. As usual, I wasn't disappointed one tiny bit. Another fantastic example of 'what if' by the Emperor of Action.What IF the US and England negotiated a treaty that in essence sold Canada to the Yankees...? Cussler introduces this exact situation with the opening pages of this adventure taking place on a train and a luxury ship. Both meet untimely ends, but not necessarily the way you are led to believe. Years later a reference to these documents is uncovered and soon after the race is on to find them by two countries, one bent on destroying them, the other for the purpose of collecting them intact. This is easily one of Cusslers most political novels, moving from the inner workings of the Prime Minister of Canada to the Oval Office and many points in between. If you remember the character of Foss Gly in 'Cyclops', you will be happy to find out that he makes his first appearance here in 'Night Probe', and as you can imagine, he is at his worst.
'Night Probe' definitely is one of Cusslers most intricately plotted novels, and what it may lack in action compared with some of his other stories, it more than makes up for in plot development and storyline details. Simply a great example of Cussler at his literary best. A fantastic book and worthy of any other Pitt adventure out there. Do yourself a supreme favor and get to know Dirk Pitt, and if you haven't done it yet, do it HERE. You will be most happy you did. Highly Recommended.
Book Review: Best of Dirk
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to echo the other reviewers here...this is the best of Cussler.Book Review: Cussler is the best author.
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent book, any book by Clive Cussler is worth the money. His series of NUMA and the Oregon Files keep you on the edge of your seat with non stop action and a web on intrigue that involves many story lines that all tie in at the end. Dirk Pitt is my favorite character.
