Summary: 'Atlantis Found' another Pitt Thriller
Comment: I bought this book the day it was released. What a guilty pleasure, these techo/adventure/thrillers that Cussler puts out. Before opening the book I know what will happen and have a pretty good idea how, but I still cannot resist. For those of you who have read Cussler in the past, 'Atlantis Found' gives you a lot of what you expect. Thankfully, Cussler has made the plot a bit more plausible than what has been found in his recent efforts, but it remains a fantastic story nonetheless. It's a classic Dirk Pitt novel: he and his friends thwart the best laid plains of previously unstoppable villianry. A bit of a twist at the end was a (pleasant) surprise for me, but for the most part the action was gloriously predictable, as is wont to happen if you've read all of Cussler's work. For those who haven't read Cussler before, this is a first-rate adventure novel, just like 'Raise the Titanic' and the rest of the Dirk Pitt adventures. The technological details make the stories more believable, while Cussler's knowledge of seafaring yore and appreciation for fine autos makes the reading that much more enjoyable. The action moves at a break-neck pace, and it was with great reluctance that I sat the book down for matters such as sleep and work. A couple inconsistencies in the storytelling and some surprisingly elementary grammatical errors took away some of the pleasure of the book, but for the most part it was as good as anything I've read in the past year. Classic Cussler.

Summary: Excellent Book for the 1st I've Read
Comment: One comet, ten miles wide and four billion tons in weight caused the end of all life on Earth in the year 7120 B.C. 99% of all species were wiped out. The only humans that survived were the Neanderthals who lived in caves, high in the mountains. And, another comet will strike, this time in the year 2001. The only people prepared for this disaster are the great-grandchildren of the Nazis, who will use the devastated Earth for the Fourth Reich: the world Hitler dreamed of. A miner in Colorado finds a chamber describing the horrors of 7120 B.C. Cryptologist specialist, Pat O'Connell, is brought to the scene as well as Dirk Pitt, master spy. He begins to find out about the comet that hit so long ago but the Nazis are determined to kill anyone who looks on this chamber. Again and again they try to kill Dirk Pitt, but he just wont die.
This book is action packed and you wont want to put it down. I haven't read any of Clive Cussler's other books, but Atlantis Found makes me want to. The only problem with this book is the dialoge which is

Summary: Cussler at his best
Comment: Atlantis Found ranks not only as one of the most enthralling adventures undertaken by the wisecracking Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino but as one of the greatest books I have read recently. The ingredients are formulaic, as with most of the Dirk Pitt novels, but in Atlantis Found the plot is constructed with trademark Cussler flair and punctuated by thrilling Pitt action/adventure.
Yes, one could argue that similar plots have been used in his previous books, but Atlantis Found possesses a panache greatly lacking in today's action offerings.
A classic Dirk Pitt novel and definitely one of the best.
