Fantasy. Fiction. Suspense. Thriller. HTML:In his first adventure since the revelation that heâ??s a parent, Dirk Pitt must uncover the truth behind the myth of another long-lost father-figure, Homerâ??s Odysseus, if heâ??s going to stop a dangerous cult from reshaping the earth in their own image.
 
Fraternal twins, Summer Pitt and Dirk Pitt, Jr., are working to determine the origin of a strange brown tide infesting the ocean off the shore of Nicaragua when two startling things happen: Summer discovers an artifact, something strange and beautiful and ancient.  And the worst storm in years boils up out of the sky, heading straight for them and a nearby floating luxury resort hotel called Ocean Wanderer
 
The peril for everybody concerned is incalculable. And now that Dirk Pitt has learned heâ??s a father, he will stop at nothing to protect his two children. He rushes into the chaos, only to find that whatâ??s left in the stormâ??s wake makes the furies of nature pale in comparison. For there is an all-too-human evil at work in that part of the world, and Summerâ??s relic may be the only clue to the man calling the shots. Whoever he is, heâ??s connected to a cult that believes the Celts, also known as the Achaeans, reached the New World millennia before the accepted history suggests. If heâ??s right, his ancestors laid the foundation for the work he will soon completeâ??and our world will be a very different place.

Though if Summer's discovery is to be believed, the world is alr

Trojan Odyssey is an excellent adventure story. It deals with a different version of Homer's Odyssey and the Celtics. The book was highly researched. The situations that the characters get out of are difficult and timing impeccable but it makes for a great story. A fun fact is that the author wrote himself into the story giving the story some "truth." A good book highly recommended and deserves all four stars that were awarded here. ( )

He smiled to himself at remembering what a reporter wrote about him, in one of the few times his feats had gained distinction. There is a touch of Dirk Pitt in every man whose soul yearns for adventure. And because he is Dirk Pitt, he yearns more than most.


So. Homer's Odyssey was real. But they weren't Greeks but rather Celts and they weren't in the Mediterranean but rather in the Americas? Sure. The baddies are a cult of Celtic Druid superwomen, all hot as heck kickass redheads? Sure. The evil plot is to dig a giant tunnel to redirect the Atlantic Current and freeze Europe?

It makes me want to actually ready Homer's Odyssey, so there's that.

Exactly as expected, it's fascinating having a new main character. And confusing as heck when they're both referred to as Dirk/Pitt/Dirk Pitt. You can figure out which is which via context, but it really does feel like Cussler realized that Dirk was getting old and didn't want to write that anymore. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think I actually miss Pitt flirting with/sleeping with every woman he meets. The brother/sister dynamic is strange.

Overall, it's one of the weakest of the series thus far. I'm just not sure what the point was. It feels like a lot of tropes we've done before. Which I guess after 17 books is somewhat hard to avoid.

Random thought:

It seems everybody but the admiral knows that Al secretly buys the cigars from the same source, said Dirk, smiling.


That feels really weird to spell out. Why now?

--- MINOR SPOILERS ---

So in the end, Dirk Pitt and Loren Smith finally get married. You know what? Good for them. It's a solid send off and you get a nice cameo from all the big names of the series (including of course Cussler himself).

If the series ended now, that would be the way to send it out and pass the torch to the kids in a new series (which I imagine is happening anyways). I almost stopped listening for exactly that reason, but at this point, I think I'll go ahead and see it through. ( )
