Lost City by Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos (2004)

Like others in The NUMA Files series, this is the second time I’ve returned to this book. It’s not so much that I dislike Kurt Austin and Joe Zavalla, but that (as copycats of Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino) they’re … Continue reading

White Death by Clive Cussler with Paul Kemprecos (2003)

As I plow my way through Clive Cussler‘s entire bibliography, I inevitably must come across some easily-forgotten stories from The NUMA Files series for a second time. White Death, the story of inbred Eskimos who crave to ruin world fisheries … Continue reading

Blue Gold by Clive Cussler with Paul Kemprecos (2000)

The second installment to Cussler’s pretty-much-Dirk-Pitt-but-not-Dirk-Pitt series, The NUMA Files, is Blue Gold, a story with a normalish plot that’s just bedazzled with weirdness. I agree with King Solomon that “there’s nothing new under the sun,” yet at the same … Continue reading

I’ve almost exhausted my Clive Cussler library but still have a few missed novels which I’ve read before but have never reviewed. Surprisingly, this first book in the NUMA Files series is one I’d missed! Regarding the series as a whole, … Continue reading

The Mayan Secrets by Clive Cussler and Thomas Perry (2013)

Who would have guessed that even Clive Cussler would ride the Mayan Calendar wave of the early 2010s! At least that’s what it appeared he was doing by publishing The Mayan Secrets in 2013. Instead of taking his treasure-hunting couple, … Continue reading

Zero Hour by Clive Cussler and Graham Brown (2013)

“Kurt tended toward overkill. If a small hammer could do the job, a sledgehammer would leave no doubt.” (Chapter 45) So far as I can tell, this is the 46th Clive Cussler novel I’ve read. Hooray for me. While it’s … Continue reading

The Storm by Clive Cussler with Graham Brown (2012)

In my learned estimation, The Storm is Clive Cussler‘s most science-fiction novel since 1986, when he released Dirk Pitt’s 8th novel, Cyclops, and sent Pitt to a gunfight on the moon. And while I love adventure and unique plots, I … Continue reading

Devil’s Gate by Clive Cussler and Graham Brown (2011)

“As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned a few things. One of them is: you get what you paid for, [Kurt]. You and Joe are like one of my cars—expensive, bad for the environment, and often a pain in the backside. … Continue reading

Fire Ice by Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos (2002)

Although I have been trying to read each of Clive Cussler’s series in order and am now much later in The NUMA Files than Fire Ice (Book 3 in the series), I don’t always get to writing my reviews while … Continue reading
