I have read the whole series of the Dirk Pitt adventures and have started to reread the series once again but this time in correct order of the adventures. My first reading of the Dirk Pitt adventures was "Atlantis Found". I started reading this novel because of my interest in Atlantis and other lost civilizations. Dirk Pitt is kind of a Indiana Jones character but in water, very deep water. I love the way that Cussler weaves past histories in a current setting along with possible myths that might have some truth in fact to them.
Two movies have been made of the adventures, first "Rising the Titantic" with Richard Jordan as Dirk and the other is "Sahara" with Matthew McConaughey as Dirk.
