1: Rip Rourin' Adventure
We liked it. It was a rip roarin' adventure through the beginning of the 20th century and the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. The protagonist is a detective for the Van Doran Agency (think Pinkerton). One must release all notions of probability to enjoy parts of this tale and listen to some rather convoluted language (coral sea green eyes?), but it's fun and entertaining. We listened to it while traveling in our RV. It was perfect vacation reading.

2: Classic Cussler Action - et in 1906
Most of my Cussler reading has been Dirk Pitt stories but I enjoyed this one just as much. The hero, Isaac Bell,a strong, intelligent (Dirk Pitt type) is a detective for a private agency. He is on the trail of a bank robber/murderer. There are still trans, cars and motorcycles in the story - in fact, they play an integral role.
Part of the story is in 1906 San Fransisco - ( history check).
A lot of fun. If you like Pitt -you should like Bell.

3: Montreal and Montana?
Others might have already noticed this. There is a glaring mistake in the map, Montreal on top of Montana...more like Calgary.

4: the chase review
I am currently reading The Chase and while only half-way through, I have an issue with the timeline. The Dorn Detective Agency assigns Bell to the case in Sept 1906, yet Bell and associates are investigating the case in March 1906. What gives?

5: Best new novel read
I was surprised to find out that this was not a Dirk Pitt adventure story but an entirely new novel with a new cast. It held my attention from start to finish. Clive Cussler came through once again with a story that held my attention all the way. Well done Mr Cussler.
