 | Raise The Titanic. This is a must have book although you must remember that it was written before R.Ballard had found found the Titanic. The story involves the recovery of a rare radio-active element from the wreck to complete a star-wars type project. Intrigue , action , suspense , romance , double-dealing , politics and a hero who`s a cross between R.Ballard/James Bond/Arnie/and Clive Cussler himself. The central character Dirk Pitt is a real mans man who seems to be virtually indestructible with the intuition of Sherlock Holmes. This was the second Titanic related book that I acquired and I can wholeheartedly recommend this book and anything else by Clive Cussler.

Admittedly, some of the book seems a little more trite to me today then it did as a teenager, but I still rate it as one of the best (too bad the movie was such a stinker), and I still have that dog-eared copy from the '70's. Well worth the money, And a great action-intrigue type thriller if you're just looking for a good read. |
