The long-lost and presumed destroyed contents of the ancient Library of Alexandria, including the preserved remains of Alexander the Great himself, make for one heck of an intriguing subject for a treasure hunt. Unfortunately, there's not much historical context or depth provided to really get you excited about it. Still, there's plenty of adrenaline-fueled action and adventure featuring Dirk Pitt, Clive Cussler's embodiment of the manliest man imaginable, who he makes absolutely no attempts at ...

Clive Cussler is a clever author, not in the sense that he writes great literature. His books tend to be rip-roaring tales never to be taken seriously, yet they amuse the reader. To tell the truth, after many dark novels, the brightness is heartily welcomed. In the latest story, *Treasure*... back in A.D. 391, Roman Emperor Theodosius the First of the dying Empire, at the urging of the local Christian patriarch, orders what is left of the magnificent yet pagan library at Alexandria in Egypt dest...

Definitely my least favorite Clive Cussler book I've read so far. "Treasure" feels like two separate stories crammed into one, and frankly, they don't mesh well at all. Cussler kicks things off with a promising story about lost treasure, but then he pretty much abandons it for a completely different plot about terrorists. This terrorist storyline dominates most of the book, and it's only in the final few chapters that he awkwardly circles back to the original treasure hunt. The terrorist plot re...

When I need a mental escape, I love to travel with Dirk Pitt. I haven't read the entire series, and the order has been a bit random, but I still thoroughly enjoy these books. My most recent read was *Treasure* (Dirk Pitt Adventure, #9) from 1988.*Treasure* has all the classic adventure ingredients: buried treasure, sunken treasure, espionage, kidnappings, car chases, and so on. In the Dirk Pitt novels, there are usually two distinct plots: the A plot, which is whatever global crisis NUMA has to ...
