Features & Highlights

  • In his first adventure since the revelation that he’s a parent, Dirk Pitt must uncover the truth behind the myth of another long-lost father-figure, Homer’s Odysseus, if he’s going to stop a dangerous cult from reshaping the earth in their own image.
  • Fraternal twins, Summer Pitt and Dirk Pitt, Jr., are working to determine the origin of a strange brown tide infesting the ocean off the shore of Nicaragua when two startling things happen: Summer discovers an artifact, something strange and beautiful and ancient.  And the worst storm in years boils up out of the sky, heading straight for them and a nearby floating luxury resort hotel called

Terrible Audio

I recently purchased this book on CD and looked forward to an adventurous story to pass the time while driving to work. But, to my dismay, I found the story subpar and the narration dreadful. Ron McLarty reads the entire 5 CD's in a monotone designed to induce sleep rather than provide enjoyment. I 've seen that other Cussler books are read by McLarty but I will steer clear of them.

Good Dirk Pitt fun.

Clive Cussler seldom disappoints. These was a typical action, fast moving novel with some unique interpertations of history. I always enjoy this books on CD. It answers serveral questions for Dirk's past. Enjoy
