I guess i am slowly losing it for Cussler's books. So many different verisons of Cussler and it seems to have watered down the brand, at least for me. I liked the book but it was just ok. Too many times i found myself skimming as the words just didnt seem as if i needed to read them. And the truth is, i didn't. Same formula as most of his books and if i hadnt read about 30 or more of them over the past 35 years, i might have liked this one.

The other side of the coin is that i have found many more talented writers and more interesting books lately and this seems to pale. So, this could be the last Cussler i read but i will say this about Clive Cussler... He entertained me very well for a long time.

All things must pass and on we gol
