	Bookreporter.com - BLACK WIND by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler
		Cussler is now working with his son Dirk on this series, which has seen the introduction of Dirk Jr.
		Cussler seems ready to hand the franchise off to the next generation, and BLACK WIND is one of those transition novels in which the father and children take separate actions to save the world --- or at least a major portion of it --- from the same malevolent force.
		Cussler has made a practice of interjecting himself, however momentarily, into the Pitt novels, and while such a practice would be irritating or contrived when carried out by lesser hands, it's always a pleasure here.

	Inherit the word (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Dirk continued to read the Pitt series, first as one of its few fans (his dad's first two books sold barely into the thousands) and then as one of the many (there are now an estimated 90 million Cussler readers worldwide, a number steadily growing since the author's breakout hit Raise the Titanic!
		Dirk planted the seeds (World War II Japanese sub carrying deadly cargo) and over the next few hours the framework took shape, just like the days gone by when the two worked to restore old cars.
		Though this would be the first Cussler novel to focus on the son, Pitt Jr., thus marking a passing of the torch on two levels.

		Dirk Pitt (the father) hands over the reins of the story line to his son (Dirk Pitt "Jr?") and his daughter Summer.
		Dirk and Summer are called on to investigate a biological weapons find that dates back to the end of World War II and the Japanese military.
		Cussler, working with his son on this book, delivers another very good Dirk Pitt novel while introducing two new characters into leading positions (the son and daughter).

	The Best Reviews: Clive Cussler, Dirk Cussler, Black Wind Review
		This is typical Clive Cussler fare starting with a historical naval moment expanded into an exhilarating base for a strong contemporary watery thriller in which the action is everything.
		Dirk is aging gracefully (my knees hurt just reading about his adventures), but the torch as with the authors seem to be moving on one knot at a time to the next generation.
		All that stands in the way are three people: a marine biologist named Summer, a marine engineer named Dirk, and their father, Dirk Pitt, the new head of NUMA.

		This is a typical Dirk Pitt "save the world" adventure, complete with fictional history (in this case, a secret Japanese plot during WWII to use bio-weapons) and a particularly evil villain (North Korean this time).
		Dirk Jr takes on most of the hero role, although Dirk Sr (with buddy Al Giordino) must come to the rescue for the dramatic sea launch finale.
		Damsels are in distress of course, and Dirk Jr pours on the charm as required.

	The Pulp Companion: Dirk Pitt
		First, Cussler, who was born in 1931, is the right age to have read Doc Savage’s adventures in the latter years of Doc’s original run in the pulps.
		And in Dirk Pitt Revealed, a guide to the first 14 Pitt novels, Cussler mentions Doc Savage when he says his intent in creating Dirk Pitt was to write novels of pure adventure as opposed to detective or espionage yarns.
		Cussler’s novels are much, much longer than Lester Dent’s pulp yarns.

		The face was weathered and the ebony hair showed tinges of gray at the temples, but the opaline green eyes sparkled with life.

		Dirk is one of my all time favourit caracters, but if the last few books are as bad as I've herd I'm realy sorry for Clive and all his readers.
		Dirk Pitt was a diluted character with the son who I can't relate to.
		I have to agree that Dirk Pitt junior and Summer are a major drag on the Cussler franchise.

	Black Wind by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler
		In the waning days of World War II, unbeknownst to all but a handful of people, the Japanese tried a last, desperate measure - a different kind of kamikaze mission, this one carried out by two submarines bound for the west coast of the United States, their cargo a revolutionary new strain of biological virus.

	Clive Cussler - Penguin UK Authors - Penguin UK
		First and foremost is the continuing Dirk Pitt series – Dirk is Clive’s original hero – the main man of NUMA (the National Underwater and Marine Agency).
		Dirk is a charismatic and maverick hero – he had reached the rank of Major in the Air Force and was quickly signed up by Admiral Sandecker to head up the Special Projects team at NUMA.
		This is one of the fasted-paced novels Cussler has written, full of high-speed chases in the air, at sea and on four wheels – I particularly enjoyed First World War Aviatik bi-planes taking on the high-tech attack helos – real edge of the seat stuff.

		Dirk Pitt's 19th adventure, the second collaboration between father and son Clive and Dirk Cussler (after 2004's Black Wind), offers a plot as credible as it is monstrous and the kind of exotic aquatic detail that amazes, informs and entertains.
		Dirk Pitt returns in a fast-paced adventure that takes the latter-day James Bond from a Russian lake to the sands of Mongolia in search of the treasure of Xanadu.
		As always a Dirk Pitt novel is entertaining, and the fact that he escapes from death defying events routinely, the tension is always there.

	BORELLI CONSULTING: Clive & Dirk Cussler's "Black Wind"
		I've been a fan of Clive Cussler for a number of years now but I knew that inevitably something would change and I'd have to decide whether or not to remain a fan.
		As Clive Cussler's son, Dirk Cussler, helps him write this novel, Dirk Pitt is taking over the reigns at NUMA and his son, Dirk Jr., is taking the senior Pitt's place as Special Projects Director.
		Clive Cussler's encyclopedic knowledge of everything maritime, and his real-life experiences with search and salvage operations, lends an air of authenticity to the book even though it's a work of fiction.

		I picked up the companion volume of Clive Cussler and Dirk Pitt Revealed to bring myself back up to date with the plot synopsis of the previous books, and read the post-Flood Tide short story, "The Reunion" then continuing on with Atlantis Found.
		At the conclusion of Valhalla Rising, I noted that Clive Cussler and real-life NUMA had found many shipwrecks, which had been detailed in the previous The Sea Hunters and soon to be released The Sea Hunters II.
		Side note on Cussler novels: I noted that other Cussler fans voiced, on the Cusslermen website, that they would like to see the two heroes join forces in a book Since Dirk Pitt has taken on a new role in NUMA, there should be more than just a cameo in future NUMA Files books.

		As with all Clive Cussler books, this one is not a masterpiece, nor does it claim to be so.
		The Dirk Pitt novels are a wonderful thing in my opinion, they combine an unlikely scenario with and an unlikely hero doing extremely unlikely things...
		At the end of the day, Dirk Pitt Jnr is exactly the same Dirk Pitt we all know, just younger, more adventurous and as amorous as ever.

		With nearly 100 million copies of his bestselling books in print, Clive Cussler is an extraordinary author whose life parallels that of his fictional hero, DIRK PITT.
		It starts out with a clunky but entertaining enough story where Cussler wanders around a party in the hanger and reminices with Dirk's allies, girls, and villains before getting to the man himself.
		Cussler has included synopses and character "i.d.'s" from every Dirk Pitt novel, up to "Atlantis Found".
