5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, entertaining, and all around a must buy!, December 9, 2001

By	Ryan Lohner (Sparta, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

Written between Flood Tide and Atlantis Found, this book should be in any Cussler fan's library. It starts out with a clunky but entertaining enough story where Cussler wanders around a party in the hanger and reminices with Dirk's allies, girls, and villains before getting to the man himself. Then there's an interview where Cussler tells his whole life story, and it's a simply fascinating rags to riches tale. We continue with the best part of the book in my opinion, complete plot synopses and background info on every Cussler book up to Flood Tide, including The Sea Hunters. Finally, there's an encyclopedia of all the people, vehiclles, locations, and everything else in every book. It ends with the tantalizing first chapter of Atlantis Found. I had actually read that book first, but it would definitely make me want to buy it even if I wasn't a Cussler fan. Any Cussler fans out there, you must have this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cussler truly respects his fans-This book is a special treat, October 15, 1998

By A Customer

This book is a must for any true Pitt fan. The book opens with a short story entitled "Reunion". Which is a wonderful glimpse of Dirk Pitt history for the diehard fan! The book ends with a preview of Dirk's and Al's next adventure, which I cannot wait for! In between,a wonderful synopsis of all Cussler's books, Dirk's cars and so much more info including Trivia! I recommend this book if: "A new book from Clive is like a visit from your best friend!" Dirk: "He's the man every woman wants and the man every man wants to be"

5.0 out of 5 stars For the diehard Dirk Pitt/Clive Cussler fan ..., January 22, 2001

By	coachtim (Indiana, United States) - See all my reviews

As other authors have done, or had done for them, (see Dean Koontz and Stephen King), Clive Cussler has put together an encyclopedia, if you will, of everything you've wanted to know about the Dirk Pitt series. Cussler has included synopses and character "i.d.'s" from every Dirk Pitt novel, up to "Atlantis Found". A prologue to "Atlantis Found" is even included. You'll also enjoy the sections on the Cussler car collection and Dirk Pitt trivia. If you are a long-time fan like I am and occasionally re-read some of the Pitt novels, then this compendium is for you. I would even recommend it to those just beginning the journey through the Pitt novels. Anyway you slice it, if you buy this book you will want to hang on to it and use if for reference from time to time.
