Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

Naah, not enough history for me.

"We were not born into this world to be happy, but to do our duty." Bismarck
"You can't be a successful Dictator and design women's underclothing. One or the other. Not both." The Right Hon. Bertram Wilberforce Wooster
"Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; the best of life is but intoxication" - Lord Byron
"Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison." - C. S. Lewis
Re: Clive Cussler
Big deal...
They're excellent. Too bad I only own 2 books.

Re: Clive Cussler
I actually like to read him. Easy enough. I think I actually own all the books on the series. I have, however, not read any of his other stuff yet. Will do in due time, I am sure.

Re: Clive Cussler
I've got about 5 of his books. They are very good though. An excellent change from reading Historical books
EDit: not that historical books are bad, I love them but still a change is good
"A man may fight for many things: his country, his principles, his friends, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally, I'd mudwrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock and a stack of French porn."

Re: Clive Cussler
Read them all, and the newer Kurt Austin ones too... Plus I watched Sahara!!
So yeah, I like them...
Just like Quid, I have not read the none-story ones... And I agree it is easy to read, I have mostly read them on flights (holidays and stuff)...
Re: Clive Cussler
I haven't actually seen Sahara. I was abroad while it was running in the cinemas. I was therefore wondering if it was any good at all. Naturally, I would not expect any Oscar performances but something enjoyable while not having much else to do...

Re: Clive Cussler
Kinda enjoyable.
But many parts missed ans mixed. The "battle" is at Fort Foureau, while in the movie it's on the Texas confederate ship they found in the desert!!!!

Re: Clive Cussler
I used to read Cussler avidly, but about 4-5 years ago he completely abandoned all attempts at originality. The new Dirk Pitt books are just cliches and garbage writing and I will not read another one again. The first dozen or so are worth picking up though. After Sahara, it's mostly downhill.
