Book Overview

Lean, speedy and packing a wallop of a plot twist was Publishers Weekly's verdict of Steve Martini's The Jury, Now Martini crafts yet another legal nail-biter featuring perennial favorite attorney Paul Madriani. After a lawyer friend is killed along with his client in a hail of gunfire outside the federal courthouse in San Diego, Madriani takes on another client who he believes is involved at the edges of the double murder. He takes the case not to defend the man, but to find out who killed his friend and why. Madriani is tortured by questions of conflict, his duty to a client who may have killed his friend, and the need to know the truth, wondering whether he himself had been marked for death only to have a friend die in his place. Soon he is drawn into a vortex of crime that spans the Americas. As he searches for the killer, Madriani rides the crest of a dangerous wave of international drug deals and people who murder for money. Suddenly he realizes it is not heroin or cocaine that resulted in the murder of his friend, but a priceless piece of pre-Columbian art-something so dazzling in the information it holds as to be one of the treasures of the ages. In a quest that takes Madriani from California to Mexico and the Guatemalan border, he discovers that while the motive to kill may be driven by distant, exotic, and ancient artifacts, the killer, like a serpent, lies much closer at hand.

Valhalla Rising: Fell Short

I am a huge fan of the Dirk Pitt series and have been working my way through all of the books, however this book could not hold my interest. It felt like the storyline was too similar to past books and droned on too long in sections. It was also challenging to find much of a connection between some of the events. There were some gripping segments that had me glued to the page, however I have come to expect more from these...

Valhalla Rising

Valhalla Rising is another Dirk Pitt Adventure, the best yet. Enjoyable and an easy read. Action and adventure carry the hero to all new adventures. The villians are vicious and calculating, keeping Dirk Pitt on his toes. Vikings, submarines, cruise ship disasters all keeping the reader entertained. The ending is quite the Cussler Style for Pitt and his novels. I enjoyed reading it in one evening... glued to the action and...

Great Fun

Mr. Clive Cussler has entertained readers with Dirk Pitt through what is now a collection of eighteen novels. It is a remarkable run by any measure and while some of the novels are better than others, they are all great fun. Mr. Cussler created a main character that not only he clearly would like to be, but an individual that all his male readers would like to claim a piece of for their own. I would imagine most of his readers...
