I know where you're coming from, but it's hard to compare like-for-like
because The Sea Hunters is for the most part non-fiction, whereas the
Pitt series is of course total fiction. I'm not all that sure about
Kemprecos either (who decided that two of the central characters should
be called "Trout" ??), to be honest, but I can't really comment about
Dirgo cos AFAIK none of his books are readily available in the UK (I've
not bothered to look).
BTW, anyone know when these books will hit the shelves here in the UK..?
Danny.
