Thanks for all the replies/suggestions. The more I think about it I am looking for adventure series similar to Indiana Jones, and the National Treasure movies. Where the adventure is based on (even if its mostly fictional) history or myth that requires the characters to solve some sort of huge mystery, riddles, traps, etc.

Well, if I decide to stay with Dirk Pitt then I will have quite a backlog. I JUST started reading the first one (well, technically the first one), Pacific Vortex! and am about halfway through it. I'll probably read the next two after that and decide whether to continue or not. Chances are that I will, unless I really really don't like them. My dad has read all of them so far, so I figure they can't be half bad.

I'm a fan of the James Bond movies, but this isn't really what I am looking for right now, but will probably be something I pick up down the road. Thanks.
Thanks,
