True, but still a good book. I'd wish he'd forget about Kurt Austin and this other new series of books he's starting to write, and just concentrate on Dirk Pitt. |

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
The first book I read was Inka Gold, and it was a great book. Since then I have read most of his books in the series and found them all to be great reads. I have not yet read one of the new books, although I have it and did loan it to my grandmother who read it and said it was good. (Sware to God)
Dirk Pitt just sounds like a Porn star name.

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
Not really a series but I will read anything by Terry Pratchett (for humour) or David Gemmell (for Fantasy, except Ironhands Daughter or the Hawk Queen which even he hates). For Science Fiction I automatically read Peter F. Hamilton (TRY nights dawn trilogy or Pandoras Star)

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
Damn, I knew there were a few books but I didn't know there were so many. Good thing I don't like the series or I'd go broke buying them all.

Re: OT: Your Favorite Book Series
Digital Knight by Ryk Spoor.
Vampires, werewolves, more plot twists than a snake climbing a rope (almost) and an arch-villian that could eat Cthulha for breakfast. Literally.
From baen books, so you can get it on webscriptions. Supernatural thriller.

True, but his son's name is Dirk. Maybe it's from his being part German (I think that's what his bio said). I think the first book of his I read was Raise The Titanic, since I've always been fascinated by the Titanic sinking. I think I may have read a couple of more of his books out of order, then started reading them in order. As far as the Kurt Austin books, I don't mind reading them, but his Kurt Austin is almost a clone of Dirk Pitt, and they can almost be interchangable. I'll stay with Dirk Pitt and his friends.
