Just finished Valhalla by Clive Cussler and well, not his best work but still very interesting....

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">True, but still a good book. I'd wish he'd forget about Kurt Austin and this other new series of books he's starting to write, and just concentrate on Dirk Pitt.

The first book I read was Inka Gold, and it was a great book. Since then I have read most of his books in the series and found them all to be great reads. I have not yet read one of the new books, although I have it and did loan it to my grandmother who read it and said it was good. (Sware to God)

Dirk Pitt just sounds like a Porn star name. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Not really a series but I will read anything by Terry Pratchett (for humour) or David Gemmell (for Fantasy, except Ironhands Daughter or the Hawk Queen which even he hates). For Science Fiction I automatically read Peter F. Hamilton (TRY nights dawn trilogy or Pandoras Star)

Digital Knight by Ryk Spoor.

Vampires, werewolves, more plot twists than a snake climbing a rope (almost) and an arch-villian that could eat Cthulha for breakfast. Literally.

From baen books, so you can get it on webscriptions. Supernatural thriller.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">True, but his son's name is Dirk. Maybe it's from his being part German (I think that's what his bio said). I think the first book of his I read was Raise The Titanic, since I've always been fascinated by the Titanic sinking. I think I may have read a couple of more of his books out of order, then started reading them in order. As far as the Kurt Austin books, I don't mind reading them, but his Kurt Austin is almost a clone of Dirk Pitt, and they can almost be interchangable. I'll stay with Dirk Pitt and his friends.
