Narration Supposing Books Sahara (Dirk Pitt #11)
1996, Egypt. Searching for a treasure on the Nile, DIRK PITT thwarts the attempted assassination of a beautiful U.N. scientist investigating a disease that is driving thousands of North Africans into madness, cannibalism, and death. The suspected cause of the raging epidemic is vast, unprecedented pollution that threatens to extinguish all life in the world's seas. Racing to save the world from environmental catastrophe, Pitt and his team, equipped with an extraordinary, state-of-the-art yacht, run a gauntlet between a billionaire industrialist and a bloodthirsty West African tyrant. In the scorching desert, Pitt finds a gold mine manned by slaves and uncovers the truth behind two enduring mysteries -- the fate of a Civil War ironclad and its secret connection with Lincoln's assassination, and the last flight of a long-lost female pilot....Now, amidst the blazing, shifting sands of the Sahara, DIRK PITT will make a desperate stand -- in a battle the world cannot afford to lose!Details Books In Pursuance Of Sahara (Dirk Pitt #11)

If you enjoy a long, yes a very leisurely walk, and a few interruptions in the beautiful Sahara, don't believe the propaganda, a magnificent vacation spot, maybe a little warm to some, (no problems for the genuine, the ordinary pros) the meek amateurs, otherwise , full of rocks, interesting looking sand dunes and exotic insects, ever helpful birds that clean the land of unwanted debris , this paradise is your cup of tea. Dirk Pitt a marine engineer for an obscure American government agency inAnother great Clive Cussler book. I really liked the crazed-zombie-style aspect of the Africans that got contaminated. There's also the stellar opening, which is really what makes these books so good - they pull you in quickly with that historical fiction.I read this a few years after watching the movie, and after I'd read the other 10 books. It's a good read, and I'd pick it up in your used bookstore (do we really need another 90 million of these in print?)
It was an ok story. A team of scientists are trying to find the cause of a natural disaster whilst being hampered by an evil dictator of a desert county. But I found it a bit far fetched as the main character had an almost MacGyver knack of knowing enough about everything to get out of every single problem thrown at him and still have time to fall head over heels in love.The book picks up the more the story unfolds and has a lot of action but somehow didnt draw me in enough to want to read more.
An excellent adventure through the Sahara desert, with some violent dictators and unscrupulous french industrialists thrown into the mix. Sahara is a fitting tribute to the late Clive Cussler. It delivers the action packed scenes and attention to detail we've come to expect from such a renowned author.Especially enjoyed the two historical side notes used in the story. I won't spoil anything, but one of them especially presents quite a surprise.Highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of this
Great survival adventure with zombies and toxic waste all on top of a shocking conspiracy theory. I know that movies never ever live up to the books they were based on, but this one takes the cake. If I heard right, Cussler even tried to sue the movie for using his character names and book title because the movie was so far from the book. The characters were all wrong, the plot was missing its key element and the action (that movies usually can replicate to a degree) was boring. But, the book
Ive read a lot of these Cussler books, and while Ive enjoyed them all, I have to tell you, this one is my absolute favorite.Critics of this series will be quick to point out that Dirk Pitt is just too hard to believe. Hes a myriad of super heroes all rolled into one flawless man. But my experience tells me that once in a while, its ok to give into flights of fancy and to believe unabashedly in flawless super hero types.A nasty oxygen-devouring red tide has spawned off the coast of west Africa,
I see now why it's called Sahara, because the writing is as dry as that desert.I have never before read a book where the author thought dialogue was the exact same thing as exposition dump. I mean, I've read books approaching that mistake, we all have, but this took the cake. This reached parody levels.The book got off to a good, promising start - one that never continued - and the action scenes are - serviceable, I guess? But the dialogue, oh god the dialogue. Clive does not know how to write
