Forgive me for possibly being noobish but i've found it quite difficult to find a definitive list of what order to read the Dirk Pitt novels in.
If any of you have such a list, or even a list for the Kurt Austin or NUMA Files, could you post it here or point me in the right direction?
Many thanks

WELCOM TO THE FORUM, PHEONIX!!! w:


I think most would agree to this order. But thet are ALL sooo good, if you wanted to, you could start anywhere! th: Just NOT with Valhalla Rising... :lol:

Welcome StormingPhoenix. Dear_Heart already gave you the order of the Dirk Pitt novels. If you want the order of the NUMA Files and Oregon Files as well they are:

NUMA Files (Kurt Austin)
Serpent
Blue Gold
Fire Ice
White Death
Lost City
Polar Shift

Oregon Files:
Golden Buddha
Sacred Stone
Dark Watch

And I thought it was just me!

I didn't read them in order. I just picked up one when I finished another, so I was kind of jumping all over the place.


Of course you people would expect that of me anyways :lol: .

ha i never heard of clive cussler or dirk pitt until read valhalla risin, been hooked every since

HAHA! :lol: Whatever works. ;)

Hey if you are from uk med caper aint avalible

I'd already read a few and was well and truly hooked, unfortunately was actualy reading Valhalla Rising when you posted your replies.
Do I get the feeling people dont like Valhalla, dare i ask why? :)
Yeah have noticed I cant find Med Caper anywhere in UK, guess its down to Amazon again!
Thx for the lists anyway folks, really helped
-S.P-

Its not that I don't like Valhalla, cause I love it. Its just, well, there's certain information at the end that would be better explained if you had read all the previous books beforehand. Thats all. But really, whatever works for the reader, you can't go wrong. w:

My thoughts re VR are the same. Also, and I don't know if it was where I was in my life at the time, but it was the only CC book I've ever read that I could actually put down and not yearn for when I started reading again. Having said that, any CC book is an adventure!

Could you update the list of Cussler books Dearheart 05? The last book on your list was Blackwind published in 2004. I've got out of order some how with the books. What was the last Cussler published in the US?
Thanks w:

Gamay

Black Wind should still be the most recent Dirk Pitt Snr/Jnr adventure published until Treasure of Khan comes out at the end of the year. Bring it on!

Skeleton Coast is also due to come out. That's an Oregon Files book.

Med Caper is also known as Mayday you could proberbly find that easiler then Med Caper in anywhere but the US.
Could someone please pin this topic? I just spent 2o mins searching for it.
Cheers Jess

Interesting you should say that, as that's the first one I ever got a chance to read cover to cover.
