   I just have to comment on the odd combination of newsgroups. They 
all can be made to FIT, but I hadn't even KNOWN there was a Dirk Pitt 
group. I hope Cussler stops writing his Pitt stories; I feel he peaked 
a while back (Treasure), and the finale of the last one I read 
(pulling a blank on the title, oddly -- Valhalla? Viking? -- the one 
featuring the Nautilus among other things) felt like closure for Pitt.

   (I don't feel Cussler actually "jumped the Shark" because I can't 
point to an individual book where he just dropped off the map, I just 
find that he's done everything he possibly could with the character, 
and picked up some annoying writing habits).
