Clayton Coetzee asked this question about Shock Wave (Dirk Pitt, #13):
This will be my first Clive Cussler. Can I read this without context or having read the others?

I originally read them out of order. The first book I read back in the day was "Raise the Titanic." However, I an re-reading them in order this time. I am up to book 13. I mix the Pitt novels in with others books I read. Cussler did not always write himself in as a character the Pitt novels. You have to discover the first book where Cussler appears to help the hero, Dirk Pitt. (less)
