Atlantis Found (Dirk Pitt, #15)

Posted on 13 June 2018 by Clive Cussler

Dirk Pitt discovers Atlantis, in a breathtaking novel from the grand master of adventure fiction Clive Cussler has long since proven himself one of America s most popular authors a master of intricate, audacious plotting and vibrant, rollicking narrative Chicago Tribune But Atlantis Found may be his most audacious novel of all.September l858 An Antarctic whaler stumbles upon an aged wreck, its grisly frozen crew guarding crates of odd antiquities and a skull carved from black obsidian.March 200l A team of anthropologists gazes in awe at a wall of strange inscriptions, moments before a blast seals them deep within the Colorado rock.April 200l A research ship manned by Dirk Pitt and members of the U.S National Underwater and Marine Agency is set upon and nearly sunk by an impossibility a vessel that should have died fifty six years before.Pitt knows that somehow all these incidents are connected, and his investigations soon land him deep into an ancient mystery with very modern consequences, up against a diabolical enemy unlike any he has ever known, and racing to save not only his own life but the future of the world itself.The trap is set The clock is ticking And only one man stands between earth and Armageddon Filled with dazzling suspense and astonishing set pieces, this is Clive Cussler s greatest adventure novel yet I ve always had tremendous fun with Dirk Pitt, but nothing has given me pleasure than the opportunity to send him to that most fabled of lost lands, Atlantis, and to virtually reinvent aspects of its civilization I hope you have as good

but this really is five star nonsense an adventure with world destroying comets, Nazis in Antarctica, ancient civilisations with messages to be deciphered, battles on the ice what is not to love about

through this book on audio for days, I started to listen today his hero uses a string to tie 3 rifles together Then he ties the string to the triggers, runs out of a cave filled with smoke fire, makes

remember reading that I gave up on after only ten pages.For some reasons, Dirk Pitt is better than James Bond for me.Of the three Dirk Pitt novels I ve read, this was my favorite I would even give it 3.5 stars if I could That being said, it still had its share of problems spoilers follow Why were the Fourth Empire so obsessed with keeping the Amenes civilization a secret Since their attack had nothing to do with another comet hitting earth, as the Amenes predicted, it seems absurd that they would go about killing people that found an archaeological dig from that time It doesn t even make that much sen Of the three Dirk Pitt novels I ve read, this was my favorite I would even give it 3.5 stars if I could That being said, it still had its share of problems spoilers follow Why were the

been hidden because it contains spoilers To view it, click here Clive Cussler s Atlantis Found certainly makes for an interesting read, if not a somewhat heavyhanded one On one hand, you have a plot for the ages, filled with intrigue, suspense, violence and mysticism On the other hand, the style of writing is filled with unclear terminology, unrealistic speaking styles and a plot led by a hero who s abilities are just too far overstated to even ...Clive Cussler per me una certezza quando ho voglia di un buon libro d avventura, pieno d azione, catastrofi e conoscenze in campi di cui io so a
