Dirk used to be my hero, back when I was a kid and my dad brought me home a stack of books from his school library (ah the perks of being a librarian's son).
I devoured "Raise The Titanic", "Treasure" and "Sahara". I thought Cussler was brilliant. As the series went on and on and on, I just realized that I couldn't handle the formula anymore.
I don't read Cussler anymore now, but man, I wish I could read "Inca Gold" or "Treasure" again for the first time.

I rag on poor Dirk, but it's not his fault. Back in the beginning, he was a great character!
