Interpretation During Books Atlantis Found (Dirk Pitt #15)
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 more 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 a time reading Atlantis Found as I did writing it!"--Clive Cussler

Outstanding book! I was kept on the edge of my seat until the last page was turned - and I mean the very last. Marvelously written, great character development, and set in largely a forbidden climate. Most intriguing.Will it win the Booker Prize, No ! However is it enjoyable, well written, easy reading and fun, Yes !All Dirk Pitt novels are similar in some respects, some more believable and/or well written than others, this is undoubtedly one of the best. Yes the book has taken me 20days to read but I have been exceptionally busy and believe me the book is one you will have trouble putting down as you won't want to wait to see what happens to Dirk and Al next.
In the 15th installment of Clive Cussler's Dirk Pitt NUMA series, Atlantis Found, Dirk and Al return in another crazy adventure to save the world. In September 1858, an Antartic whaler stumbled on an aged wreck with a frozen crew and an obsidian skull. In March 2001, a team of archeologists gazed at a strange wall of inscriptions, before they were blasted away into the Colorado River. A month later, Dirk Pitt and his crew was nearly sunk by a vessel that should've died 58 years ago. Now Dirk
OMG! Holiday reading. Pure nonsense 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 it.But, seriously, Cussler is not only a page-turner (something dramatic and usually unexpected happens in every short chapter) but his notionally cardboard characters are actually likeable or (in the case of the bad guys) interesting if not truly believable.
This one is showing it's age - originally published in 1999 - what with the 'recent' crowning of Charles of Britain after Elizabeth II's abdication. The technological gadgets and machinery sound completely plausible. Especially the computer directed flight through South American mountains by the Moller Skycar which is can be seen in today's auto-controlled automobiles and semi trucks.This one starts with a comet striking the Earth about 9 thousand years ago in the Hudson Bay region of Canada.
You have to love Clive Cussler, so unrealistic lol!!
