Summary: Dirk Pitt...end of an era
Review: This book was a lot of fun to read. I've been a Cussler fan since I bought Inca Gold at a yard sale for 25 cents. Once again he provides a great story. There are a few editing glitches which will hopefully be taken care of in the paperback edition, but all in all highly recommended.
The Trojan plotline was very intriguing, so much so that I've been trying to track down Where Troy Once Stood.... the inspiration behind the novel. Pitt fans won't be disappointed!!

Summary: Trojan Odyssey: A Dirk Pitt Novel
Review: Trojan Odyssey written by Clive Cussler is a fictious novel that is easy to read and is pure adventure entertainment. Dirk Pitt, Cusslers alter ego, battles a deadly foe as in his other books, but things are a bit different in this book, Pitt has help.After finishing "Valhalla Rising" we are introducted to two new characters... these being Dirk Pitt's fraternal twin children with Summer Moran... Summer and Dirk. This introduction of Pitt's grown children make for some interesting reading and scenes in the book. Cussler fleshes out his characters in this book and we get a pretty good impression as to who's who and what's what. Cussler's books are entertaining and they all follow closely to a pattern and this book is no exception. Here Dirk Pitt doesn't make an appearence till page 102 so we get a lot of background and some interesting underwater scenes with Summer and Dirk,Jr. Of course, there is a meglomaniac involved with a world disaster, the mysterious Mr. Specter is the current edition. This book has bits and pieces of Celtic lore and Druidnesses making for an interesting read. This isn't one of Cussler best book, but it isn't one of his worst either. I gave this book a solid 4 stars for it's readability... it's bubble gum sugar treat for the brain. It is an entertaining read with dazzling suspense and really good action. This is a book that shows Dirk Pitt getting older, ready to wrap things up with facing off with the bad guys, and it has some twists and turns in it to make it interesting.
