Loading... Dragon (1990)by Clive Cussler
None. Overall "Dragon" seemed a little drawn out, but somehow it managed to keep me engaged with lots of adventure and mystery. Many parts seemed unrealistic and far fetched in typical Cussler fashion. I was struck by how accurate Cussler introduced the technology described in this book provided it was written over 20 years ago: cell phones, fax machines, robotics, submersibles, etc. If you're a Cussler fan and enjoy adventure stories, this one doesn't disappoint. I can easily see this made into a Hollywood blockbuster film. (  ) gdill | May 16, 2013 |  Another great Dirk Pitt adventure that pulls you in with almost non-stop action and adventure. I say almost because towards the end I felt it lag just a tiny bit and the ending disappointed slightly. Otherwise a great thrill read! That Dirk Pitt can do anything! (  ) Neverwithoutabook | Sep 7, 2010 | Perhaps another day........in another reincarnated state when I can't be put into a coma by reading it. (  ) HankIII | Jul 26, 2010 | Dirk Pitt, Cussler's hero who is always in the wrong place, finds himself in the centre of a nuclear maelstrom. Japan fronts the diabolical mastermind this time, with killer robots, uber-secret hideouts and katana wielding maniacs. Leave your disbelief at the front cover, for Dragon is a non-stop wild ride of espionage and action. Not as engaging as some of Cussler's other works, Dragon still entertains from cover to cover. ( ) SonicQuack | May 31, 2009 | This book was like the other Dirk Pitt novels, GREAT! I still have three books to read after the four I own I must read.
