Weakest of the Pitt Novels,

This review is from: Night Probe! (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read all buy 1, and felt this was the weakest. It was still good, but lacked in a lot of ways.....
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great early Pitt!,

This review is from: Night Probe! (Hardcover)
I have always loved the way that Clive starts his stories with a distant event or tragedy, and then brings it to modern times. Night Probe offers two distant disasters that are somehow related. It's up to Dirk Pitt, Clive's main character, (and you) to solve the puzzle.I thought I had the mystery solved, (especially the missing train... just where is that thing hiding?) but one by one my guesses came up empty. I think I figured it all out about five seconds before Dirk did. (So, I did out-guess him, right?) It takes an exceptional author to pull that off. And Clive knows how to keep the reader happy. This book has ranked as one of the top ten books I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. (Of course, a lot of Clive's work is in my top ten.) Night Probe is a wonderful start to anyone just discovering Cussler's writing, or, if you've read his latest, exploring Dirk's past
4.0 out of 5 stars
Ok, but I've seen better Clive Cussler novels.(spoilers),
By Jessica (Manitoba, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night Probe! (Mass Market Paperback)
My dad has the whole Dirk Pitt collection, and this was the book he started me off with. I must say he made a bad choice. Ok this is a spoiler so skip to the next paragraph if you don't want to know. The North American Treaty is all about Britain selling Canada to America. I'm Canadian, and I found this sort of offensive. Clive Cussler is an American (if you haven't figured that out)and he made the Canadians look like some pawn in a game of Chess. But then again I guess Canada isn't as powerful as the U.S. but we still have done lots of stuff, and we are strong allies with the U.S.A. and Britian. SO if you're a proud canadian this book isn't for you. Still it's a good novel, and I would read it again. Dirk Pitt was his usual style...cool, relaxed in front of danger, friendly, cold, and caculating.
