Summary: A wonderful book full of action
Comment: I thoroughly enjoyed "Sahara". It was the first Clive Cussler novel I have read and I'm certainly coming back for more. The reason I liked it is because of it's full-blown action - how it is very hard to put down and how it has a suave yet clever hero, Dirk Pitt. It was interesting to me how Cussler could tie together those three events - President Lincoln assasination, a pilot that dissapeared over the desert, and a deadly amount of red tide that could threaten the world's oxygen supply - that gave me more respect for the story. And, though it was not or does not carry much of a message, I would reccomend it to action-loving readers who enjoy a grand adventure and story like I do.

Summary: Cussler delivers a Dirk Pitt classic in Sahara.
Comment: Dirk Pitt, hero of adventure author Clive Cussler, races to save the world from environmental diaster. In the way, ruthless millionaire industrialist Yves Massarde and General Zateb Kazim, an iron-fisted military dictator determined to
save guard funds pillaged from his small African nation. Cussler blends action, romance and entertaining historical plot twists to again construct a fun and masterful read. We meet again the cast of NUMA, the ficticious National
Underwater and Marine Agency that all Cussler fans have grown to love. Whether you have been introduced to Dirk Pitt in the past, or have yet to discover this engrossing figure, readers shoud treat themselves to Sahara.
Expect a fast and furious ride from the streets of Cairo, up a dangerous African river and through the wasteland of the Sahara. Prepare to rewirte your history textbooks

Summary: A pretty entertaining read - one flaw I can't let slide
Comment: OK, I have read EVERY Dirk Pitt novel Clive Cussler has written, so I definitely qualify to review his books. I enjoy how Cussler pushes the technological envelope in each new story, even a little over the top; I also enjoy how Dirk Pitt is the ruthless hero (only to baddies, not to beautiful women) we've all wished our movie action heroes could be. If you've read more than one Dirk Pitt novel, you know what I'm talking about. No need to elaborate so as not to ruin it for others less fortunate.
By the way, I appreciate how he writes himself into nearly every novel. Don't criticize - you'd do it too if you knew how to make a living writing.
I enjoyed Sahara immensely. Cussler has a way of getting you to say, "Hmmm...could that be what really happened?"
I usually leave a LOT of room for authors to play with the rules of technology and even the laws of physics now and then.
However, despite Cussler's quality, I can't ignore this one:
If you are dehydrated to the point of death - no, wait, even if you are dehydrated significantly less than to the point of death - you don't simply drink quarts and quarts of water and in a matter of minutes fully recover, shake the dust off, and sally forth on your merry way. Even somewhat dehydrated, you will be on a table with an IV in your arm for several hours. I know this firsthand. Technology is one thing; medical accuracy is another.
Nonetheless...
A very good book, typical Cussler.
