Book Reviews of Night Probe!
Book Review: The Best Yet!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one of Cussler's best. I've also read Atlantis Found, Sahara, and Inca Gold, and they all have explosive endings. To the german guy who gave it 2 stars: You're stupid. If an eleven year old like me can understand the funny jokes and intricate plot, you should be able to read and understand it, too. Doo bis doom (that's "you are dumb" in german).Book Review: The Best Yet!

Summary: 5 Stars
I adore Clive Cussler and I own all of his books, both in paperback and hardcover. But, for me, "Night Probe" is the best. The plot is woven together more skillfully than a spider's web, and the reader becomes just as trapped as any unwary fly! It's a book that's almost impossible to put down -- you have to see what's going to happen next. And like a fine puff pastry dough, it keeps building, layer upon layer. By the books end, you've become so convinced of the plots authenticity, you're ready to call the state department and ask them what they did with the treaty!Book Review: Unique, if not over-the-top actioner
Summary: 3 Stars
It's Pitt to the rescue, again, when America & the UK tangle over an obscure, never ratified treaty that may mean the salvation of America. In the early 20, twin disasters separately take the lives of two men - diplomats for England & the USA. Unknown is that each carried copies of a treaty giving Canda to the USA. Fast forward to the near-future - America faces an unprecedented energy crisis. Luckily, billions of barrels of oil is available just off-shore. Unfortunately, it's on (or under) Canadian waters. Heidi Milligan, a USN Officer and frequent Dirk Pitt companion, discovers reference to the obscure treaty while doing historical research. Knowing the implications of the treaty, NUMA and Dirk Pitt soon join the treasure hunt. Learning of the treaty themselves, the Brits pull out the stops to secure it first. (It's unclear if the Brits are aware of the massive petro-implications at stake, but they're not about to give up Canada.) Routine, and hardly the globe-hopping romp of novels like "Valhalla Rising" or "Cyclops", "Night Probe" is still worth a look. Like Pitt, "Probe" knows what we want, and delivers the goods. The story also adventurously tries a less-than patently evil adversary - with Pitt facing a british agent who's bound by duty, but not given to the bad-guy speeches or grandiose plans. He's probably the most sympathetic foe Pitt has ever faced. For Pitt fans, definately worth a read.Book Review: Weakest of the Pitt Novels
Summary: 2 Stars
I have read all buy 1, and felt this was the weakest. It was still good, but lacked in a lot of ways.....
