Bookreporter.com - BLACK WIND by Clive Cussler and Dirk Cussler (501 words) |
 | 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. |
