Summary: Kurt's No Dirk
Comment: If I have a must read author, then I suppose it would have to be Clive Cussler. His plots are outlandish and ridiculous, his dialogue is...well, laughably pathetic and his heroes are annoyingly sanctimonious, but I'm still hooked on them all. They're worth their weight in gold just for the action and head-snapping pace.
And so it goes with WHITE DEATH. In this book Kurt and Joe are up against an environmental disaster thanks to some genetically modified "frankenfish". Starting on the Faroes Islands and then zipping over to the Canadian wilderness, there seems to be a lot of unusual behavior and unaccountable missing fish in the vicinity of certain fish farms, and these fish farms all seem to belong to one mysterious conglomerate, Oceanus. As with many of Kurt Austin's opponents, these "evil-doers" prefer to take the aggressive form of defense and merely succeed in arousing Austin's wrath. This is always a serious mistake when dealing with a Cussler hero.
Of course, there is the usual evil megalomaniac who makes the usual cliched mistakes. Of course, there are the usual last-minute death-defying escapes. Of course, there is the usual stunningly gorgeous, though exceedingly brilliant woman who just happens to fall for Kurt. Of course, I zipped through the book and will be lining up for the next one (ain't I a tragic?)
So yeah, nothing's changed, substitute Dirk for Kurt, Al for Joe and whammo, you've got yourself a new series. This is one of the weaker NUMA Files adventures, going a little heavier than usual on the cheesiness, but if you're a Clive Cussler fan, I think you'll be satisfied, if you're not I would suggest starting on the Dirk Pitt series instead.

Summary: Oh! Where is Dirk Pitt
Comment: I started reading Dirk Pitt novels back in High School (over 25 years ago!) and over the years I could not wait for the next installment. The most recent Pitt Novels I have found wanting, or maybe it was too much of a good thing? This new series with an associate author(Paul Kemprecos)just does not work for me. I know Pitt was a comic book chacter but some how Cussler was able to make him real to me. His wild exploits always seemed possible. In this new series, with Kurt Austin acting as the new Pitt, it just seems unnatural. As I read I find myself questioning Austins heroics, the character seems hollow. Maybe its me? maybe I'm getting old. Or maybe Dirk Pitt was something special, but his time has run out? To be honest this book does have some entertainment value, and would probably be fun reading for 12 to 16 year old boys, but it does not have the magic of the early Dirk Pitt novels. I recomend you check out: 'A Tourist in the Yucatan' reminded me of early Cussler.
