desertcart.com: Night Probe!: 9780553277401: Cussler, Clive: Books Review: Best Dirk Pitt novel - Probably my favorite Dirk Pitt novel. Great story. Great read. Review: It's not just about Dirk, at least in this book - I've read a number of the Dirk Pitt novels. I had a roommate after college who had a whole bunch of them and at that point I was spending a couple hours a day on the train, so I was going through books very quickly. He let me read the ones he had. That was about 15 years ago, and until recently I hadn't read another Cussler book. After having read what I think was the first of Cussler's Dirk Pitt stories a couple weeks ago, however, I decided to pick up Night Probe. Wow! This book hooked me really quick. After only a couple of chapters, every time I put it down I could't wait to pick it back up again. And at that point Dirk had yet to make more than a couple of quick appearances. Maybe I'm just not remembering things very well, but this book struck me as rather different than the Pitt novels I read before. It certainly doesn't focus nearly as much on Dirk and the other NUMA characters as many of the other books. It was also a less predictable mystery. I will admit that there were some threads in the story which weren't very well fleshed out and cut off rather abruptly. Even still, I found it a really fun, enjoyable read and would definitely recommend it.

It's not just about Dirk, at least in this book
I've read a number of the Dirk Pitt novels.

Captivating
Held my attention throughout. Had difficulty putting it down. Well developed characters and interesting plot. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience of reading.

You can tell it was used and old.
You tell it was used. Over the pages felt agile and like I was going to rip, but so far they have upheld and lasted.

A great overall story but…
This is actually one of my favorite Cussler books. The plot and characters and Dirk Pitt are just the right mix of exciting and outlandish. My only criticism is that the fairly significant events of the end are basically forgotten in future works, which is a shame.

Dirk needs to progress.
Good reading. Dirk Pitt needs more action.

I needed this!
I needed a copy of this book to complete my collection of Cussler books. It's old and the dust cover is in poor shape. I'm on the lookout for a cleaner copy.

I read this many many years ago while still in secondary school and at the time already a huge Clive Cussler fan. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it became my favourite Dirk Pitt novel. What I can remember it was fast paced adventure with drama, suspense and fantastic characters. A great story! Highly recommended. If you want a great action adventure story you can't go wrong with Clive Cussler. If you haven't read any of his Dirk Pitt novels then read his previous books before this one and I will guarantee you will be a fan of Clive Cussler too. I'm really looking forward to reading this again, and now that it's in my collection I will be reading it (& his other books) again and again in years to come.

The very idea that England would, let alone could sell Canada to the Americans is laughable. And I would 'fall out' with Clive Cussler for that alone if he hadn't written such a good book. I think this is one of my favourites and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it again.
