There are lots and lots of them. I think I've read them all over the years, but I can't remember the order. As I recall, the sex is offstage. You know they Did It, but there's no "throbbing" or "heaving" body parts. Dirk drives classic cars, which Cussler collects IRL.
The books are widely available at Goodwill and other thrift stores. They stand alone more than the Harry Potters do, but not as much as, say, the Hardy Boys.
I like them enough that I regretted sending mine off to Goodwill to make space (what WAS I thinking?), and have been re-collecting them back as I find them.
The author's a pretty interesting guy - he uses the money from the Pitt books to finance undersea explorations. He's the one who found the Hunley, the Confederate submarine. The Sea Hunters tells the stories of some of the expeditions.
Thanks, that’s very helpful. I will keep an eye out at the library today. We’re very cautious about sexual content in books the children read, but the fact that characters Did It is not a red flag in itself, since that would wipe out most of the world’s classic literature, from Homer on.
Welcome to the Undead Thread, nina!
Thanks for ‘splaining things to TC. I was havinng a difficult time last night, getting my mind to wrap around words, so I’m glad you could enlighten us.
I never had his books, and I never thought about them, though I HAD heard his name in literary circles. Once I saw “Sahara,” I was hooked. I’ve decided that I, too, will begin to collect his work. It’s ALWAYS a good read!
