I've always assumed the books were meant to be fun and not to be taken too seriously. ( At least I hope they are not meant to be taken seriously.  ) But you have to like this sort of gung-ho-American-hero against impossible odds stuff, otherwise it will just look like the sort of nonsense that it is. But Cussler did do nice back stories for most of the novels. |
Thank you, gmw. I think I will read Inca Gold, followed by your 2 favorites. You really came through, thanks to you for keeping notes of old books.
