Adventure

this is the first Clive Cussler book i read. i liked it it was fun.

now before reading this book all i knew about Clive Cussler was that his books are pretty much indiana joans meets james bond and i love both of those things so i was interested and i can say i liked it. Dirk is a fun character who happens to get himself into some sticky situations and gets out of them in an over the top fashion.

just like most action movie's there is many things that are very unrealistic but if your like me and love action movie's regardless if they are realistic or not. i dont think that will be a problem for you. my only real complaint is that the story started to feel long towards the end, once everything is pretty much over it still goes on for another 30 or so pages. but other wise i liked it and would like to read more of his books.

on a side note, i never seen the movie that was based on this book but i always heard people always hate on it. after reading it, i think this book and im sure some of his others have a lot of potential to be great fun movies. i guess they really goofed it up badly ( )

1996, Egipto. En busca de un tesoro en el Nilo, Dirk Pitt frustra el intento de asesinato de una bella científica de la ONU que investiga una enfermedad que está llevando a miles de norteafricanos a la locura, el canibalismo y la muerte. La supuesta causa de la furiosa epidemia es una contaminación enorme y sin precedentes que amenaza con extinguir toda la vida en los mares del mundo. Compitiendo para salvar al mundo de una catástrofe ambiental, Pitt y su equipo, equipados con un yate extraordinario y de última generación, se enfrentan a un industrial multimillonario y un tirano sediento de sangre de África Occidental.

Definitely in my top favorites of this series. Not my number 1, but sooooo close.
Thank God I read it before I ever saw the movie.

This one has been the topic of many conversations with my husband while we were dating.
Me "I know, I'm a girl. I'm not suppose to love these books as much as I do."

My future husband "Maybe, I guess. But it's one of the things I really lo...uh like about you. That and that you read all the Nick Carter books too! (mumbled under breath) How lucky can a guy get?"

Me "I heard that." Silence. Then, him, "Hey, you want a Coors Light?" Me, "Yeah. And a kiss."

Thank you Clive Cussler. ( )
