since I read a Cussler book This book follows the Cussler tradition of non stop action The characters no sooner get out of one predicament than they plunge into another In this story the book opens in

alreadyI think I have read almost all of the Cussler books and enjoyed most of them This is no exception I do think the original Pitt books were a little richer in character development, but the storyline in this one kept me reading late into the night.I wasn t disappointedA willingness to suspend disbelief is a prerequisite for much fiction, and a greater degree of this is always required for Cussler The important thing is internal and external plausibility, which is usually not a problem, although in this one the use of selenium crystals with traces of copper and uranium got to me the caves of mega crystals of selenite gypsum have been conflated with the element selenium, a very different material and not likely to form crystal caves Anyway, I liked the use A willingness to suspend
