Anyone read his stuff? Dirk Pitt Novels? Oregon Files? or what ever the other guy is? lol?
I'm a fan of the Dirk Pitt ones - haven't really started laying into the others - been thinking about the Oregon files ones tho - dad has the whole set crammed in a box in the garage.

Try atlantis found.
all the dirk pitt novels are very epic and clich?, but they're still an entertaining read - even more entertaining when they put it to a movie...
but oh em gee.
did they ever fuck up the sahara movie... like leaving out the ENTIRE bit about abe lincoln - i was pissed.

I used to read a lot of Cussler ... Cyclops, Sahara, Inca Gold, Shock Wave, etc. I basically just chewed them up one after the other in late middle school. I have a sinking feeling that I might've been doing it for the sex scenes, which were pretty much guaranteed in each book but almost never more than a page or so of significant suggestion and then a flowery phrase that meant "they're bonin'." To be fair, it was always fun to figure out what new massive global threat Dirk Pitt would defeat next, and the supporting characters were usually really cool. I stopped after "Serpent" was released, after basically reading everything he'd written between the mid-80's and the mid-90's.

Yeah, those sex scenes were pretty PG rated, but thats what makes it funny. Leaves alot to the imagination.
I've read all the dirk pitt ones except treasure of kahn (the newest one), and i've got it downstairs, i'm just a lazy bastard.

I've read all the Dirk Pitt novels (except the newest one) and loved each one. Yeah, they're epic-ly cliched, but that's why they're awesome. Shock Wave is my favourite. I met Clive Cussler one summer at Chicago's Natural History museum and had him autograph a few of my books.
And while I agree that they messed up the movie of Sahara, I still terribly enjoyed it.

Read a few, they're decent, but there are other books I wanna read more.
