    <body><![CDATA[Cussler's books have simply become like the old movie serials of the 1930's.  Or the comic strip serials like Terry and the Pirates or Steve Canyon.  This doesn't mean they aren't entertaining, but they have completely lost any semblance of reality.  I realize many will think they never were any where near reality, but Cussler did take some of the danger and intrigue seriously once upon a time.  Now, they are just comic strip adventures, more closely related to young adult fiction, save for the copious amounts of alcoholic consumption.<br/>Fun to read, up to a point.]]></body>
