Artic Drift by Clive Cussler & Dirk Cussler

Cussler’s books are like my favorite maple glazed donuts, tasty not filling but oh so delicious. Global warming and unrestrained greed are addressed in this Dirk Pitt and kids book.

Cussler always does a terrific hook at the beginning of each book. He sets forth a mystery that you really want to explore and then carries you into the main story. Dirk Jr. and Summer have a side bar story that occupies about 20% of the book but ties tightly as the book winds down.

As all of Cussler’s work, action abounds, mysterious events occur and good triumphs. What more could you ask? This was a good take on greed and global warming without being preachy. An altogether entertaining book, I have to recommend.

I recommend highly.

Stacey How is the co-write with Dirk? I haven't been as satisfied with the co-writes as with the candy guilty-pleasure goodness of Cussler himself. In fact, have never finished a co-written yet.

William Bentrim I thought the co-write with Dirk was well done as opposed to the Lost City by Clive Cussler & Paul Kemprecos co-write that was just ok.

Stacey Yeah, it was the Kemprecos co-writes that I didn't care for. I'm told that The Chase is pretty good, which is non-Pitt and not a co-write.
