A Cracking Good Yarn!

A "treasure" of a read! Treasure is an interesting story with enough twists and turns to keep you guessing until the end! Cussler always brings in an unusual and interesting history hook to start off the story and this one is no exception...the tale begins in the late Roman Empire at the famous Library of Alexandria,(one of the eight wonders of the ancient world)! Oops sorry I can not tell you more, but suffice it to say Cussler is both a good researcher and story teller and you will love it as much as I did...buy it!

Cussler at his best!

I read almost all of his books to date but "Treasure" is still the very best Clive Cussler ever wrote. Might be because of the ever charming characters Pitt and his best buddy, might be because of the thrilling suspense with surprising twists and turns or might be because the subject of the book the library at Alexandria is one of the last secrets that were never really revealed. This book really is a must read Cussler adventure. Get rid off "Sahara", turn off the TV and grab this book!

Wow, what an adventure!

This was my first Cussler and it won't be my last! The writes a great adventuer thriller, weaving together a plane crash, an ancient shipwreck, an international terrorist who hijacks a cruise ship with the world leaders on board, the attempted overthrow of the Egyptian and Mexican governments and a vast treasure trove hidden for centuries into a pulse-pounding, heart-stopping thriller. On top of all this you have the hero Dirk Pitt who out does James Bond, Indiana Jones and even Sherlock Holmes! Looking forward to my next cussler soon.

The book that hooked me to Cussler

Since the beginning of being able to read I hadn't found a book to satify my historical needs as well as my entertaiment needs! But here we go, a book, packed with history, packed with entertaiment and I read it. A MUST for every Cussler fan, a MUST for every history fiction fan. 100% pure thrill!!!! Keep it up Clive!

Fantastic! Bring on the Dixieland band!

I've read every Dirk Pitt book to date, but this one has to be the best. Treasure has everything you could want from a Dirk Pitt novel, the mix or locations, action, and a wonderful last scene, there's just so much plot! I've seen people describe these books as shallow and unrealistic, but if you want realism, look out of the window, not in a Cussler book. What more can I say, fantastic stuff, keep them coming.
