    • D-oh! Right off the bat in the video, I say Spring into Adventure is for the month of August. This is partially inaccurate. However, the first letter of the month is absolutely correct.
    Our apologies for any confusion.

    Your thumbnails are always the best! I read the first few Dirk Pitt adventures when I was a teen. They always seemed a little more adult than the James Bond novels, and I greatly enjoyed them. I haven't read one in ages!

      Thanks! The thumbnails are a lot of fun to create, so I'm glad you like them!

    I have a bunch of Cussler’s books, including this one. I haven’t read any of them. I guess I should.

      Well! If you have a bunch of them, each and every one would count towards the 500-Book Challenge!

    Although I'm familiar with the name I haven't read anything by Cussler. He sounds like an interesting character though.
    As far as artwork I have to say that none of the covers that I saw impressed me in the least. One or two of the earlier published stories were halfway decent, otherwise they wouldn't draw me to the book in a store.

      Yes. I remember when I first discovered Dirk Pitt, it was with "Raise The Titanic!" in paperback form. The title was what really drew me in, and the artwork just paid that off. I saw that book at the time "Night Probe!" came out in paperback, so they were on the shelf together at the bookstore. The "Night Probe!" locomotive underwater intrigued the hell out of me, and that was all on the illustration itself, since the title told me nothing. As I recall, I bought both titles together that day, and that's what got me into Dirk Pitt to begin with.
