2005 Booklist

As I am a voracious reader, I decided to make a blog about my books that I read!

My first of the year was the new Clive Cussler novel, Black Wind. It was a Dirk Pitt adventure and featured his son and daughter as the main characters trying to head off a biological attack. It is one of his best and follows his unique style of presenting viable situations in the near future. Many of the adventures have actually come to pass such as the Raising of the Titanic which was done very closely to what he described.

Cussler has a massive knowledge of nautical procedures and history and uses it to accent his adventures but his knowledge base does not end there. He also uses old cars and vintage aircraft in his stories which make them interesting to history buffs like me! It is amazing how he blends historical events into adventures that have a realism almost unmatched in the publishing world.

I highly recommend any of his books if you like derring do and historical fiction.

I believe his website is www.clivecussler.com if you wish to visit!
