The Chase by Clive Cussler

The Chase is a Clive Cussler book that is not Dirk Pitt or Kurt Austin related. I must admit, I enjoy the Pitt and Austin novels better; however, this is a good read. This book follows the Butcher Bandit and his spree of bank robberies and murders. Isaac Bell who works for the Van Dorn Detective Agency is on the case and will “chase” the Butcher Bandit until he runs him to ground.

Polar Shift by Clive Cussler with Paul Kemprecos

Polar Shift by Clive Cussler is a Kurt Austin adventure. In this book a group of anarchists has come up with a method of disrupting the earth’s electromagnetic shield. Based on the principals of a Hungarian scientist, the anarchists have developed devices to pound the earth’s crust with electromagnetic radiation. Their idea is to reverse the polarity of earth; however, they would be unleashing more than they can even imagine. Kurt Austin and his team discover the plot while investigating rogue waves and Kurt and NUMA will use all of their resources to stop the plot and save the world. I am never disappointed by Cussler books. Many times they are a little farfetched; however, they are all good reads.

Treasure of Khan is a Dirk Pitt novel by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler. In this book, Dirk and his team are researching in Lake Baikal in Siberia when they are hit by a Seiche. What is a Seiche you might say? A Seiche is a tidal wave on fresh water. This one was caused by an underwater landslide. Dirk escapes the wave; however, some of the folks with him disappear. Dirk is determined to find them. His adventures take him to Mongolia where he runs into an evil company, Avarga Oil Consortium, with a wicked plot. In the meantime, there is some interesting tie ins to Genghis Khan and his rule in China.

Sacred Stone by Clive Cussler and Craig Dirgo is an Oregon Files novel. In this book, the team from the Oregon must track down the “Sacred Stone” discovered by Eric the Red in Greenland. An archaeologist has found Eric the Red’s shrine to the meteor and there is a race to recover the meteor. Multiple organizations want the radioactive stone for various purposes. One’s a terrorist and another has a plot to destroy Islam. Juan Cabrillo and his team must recover the stone before any of the plots come to fruition. This is a great book in typical Cussler fashion.

Golden Buddha by Clive Cussler

Golden Buddha was the first Clive Cussler book I read from the Oregon Files. The Oregon is a clandestine boat run by a “For Profit Corporation”. But don’t worry, they only make money doing things that governments cannot do, but need to be done. In this one, the Oregon and its team deal with an art theft (Golden Buddha) and in the meantime help the Dali Lama back onto the thrown. In the nature of all Clive Cussler books this one is action packed and an enjoyable read.
