Okay folks I am letting the cat out of the bag...so to speak. I have been informed by a "good" source....someone within "the" circle, that the new Dirk Pitt book, which has been mostly written by Dirk Cussler, is named "Black Wind" . I have also been told that Dirk has really caught the flavor of the Pitt books, so the series will go on. I am not revealing my source, so please don't ask. I did not ask what the book was about, but as soon as I find out I will let you all know.
Take care
Mike

Wow that's great, thanks for letting us know, Mike :)

Thats great news Mike.Any idea of a release date. th:

Sorry the only info I have at this time is the title. I will let you know when further details filter through to me though....
Mike

Thanks for the heads up mike ;) dont have any idea where you would have gotten the info ;) but thank you for sharing with us th:

Thanks for the info ! :) n:

t: That's great. Can't wait for it to come out. :lol: :lol:

I'm so glad to hear Clive has written a new book. I've read all of his books and look forward to the new one. Hopefully, it will come out soon. Also, can't wait for the movie "Sahara". w:

Definetly will have to purchase that. Wonder if he picked up his father's talent?

t: t: Like Father, Like Son! Thanks for the great insight, Protect your source at ALL COSTS we may need more inside info later!

Whose your source?

LOL

w: Welcome Winemaker, Rainy9875 and dragon slayr87!

You've found a great forum with lots of knowledgable people on the subject of Clive Cussler.

Enjoy! :rolleyes:

Ah yes thank you Foss Gly. I'm reading a book right now that focuses on you. Night Probe it's starts off slower than most dirk pitt books. Wouldn't you say.

It does, but it's a great adventure with quite a few twists, turns and surprises. You'll like it.

can't wait for the new book!!!!....let us know when it comes out B) can't wait to see how dirk cussler turns a story

Sounds great, I only hope he's a chip off the old block. :rolleyes:

Now, may I ask if this is Dirk Sr. or Dirk Jr. in this story, or both???

I assume it will be both...can't have one good book solely based on Dirk Jr.

That's so cool! i can't wait till it comes out hopefully i'll have money to buy it! (i'm a poor college student...i don't even know how i'm paying for school the next 4 years...oh well i'll find a way!) Can't wait for the movie either!!

Well from the way TO ended, it should be dirk sr. at the helm of NUMA dying to get on the water with loren pulling him back in the bed, and dirk jr. and summer getting in trouble and asking dad and Al to come save them. Dirk Jr. did not show a whole lot of his dad's "101 ways to get out of a sticky situation" brain. So maybe that will develop and dirk sr. will be good as the boss.

GREAT NEWS thaks for the information. Let's hope that the talent is in the genes. Now the question arises what will happen now. Please keep the information coming.

Hey who's your source?(kidding)


This is and isn't good news for me. I keep buying books but I only read like one every two months and I haven't even read or bought TO yet but I know that I will go buy the new one and when I do I'll buy like 3 or 4 books with it. I probably won''t even finsh Sahara (next book to read) by then. I have a stack of 7 or 8 books in my room I have left to read. I'll be done with those and more by the time 2004-2005 school year comes around (I hope)
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: w:

You Just made my day :)

I hope it still revolves around Dirk Pitt and not the son. I think that with Clive helping his son we will still be getting great Dirk Pitt novels in the future. Most series usually have continuation authors who try to make the character there own. I feel that if his son does it, he will continue in the same style.

I don't envy Junior the task ahead of him, those are some mighty big shoes to fill,
I'll definately pick up the first copy and read it in one sitting when it comes out though.

Rogan OUT!

That really is wonderful news!!!!

"Black Wind" has a tentative release date of November/December 2004. Clive and Dirk Cussler will both tour about this time to promote the new book.

I still haven't read Trogan Oddsey (not spelt right?). My dad is twirling his thumbs when it comes to buying it for me.

For those who have read it, is it good? I mean, since he added the kids Dirk Jr. and Summer in. Does it still have the Dirk Pitt flair?

I Don't get on here pften, so I'm late with a reply to the info.
So glad to hear about the new Dirk Pitt book, he us my favorite.
thank you so much for the information, regardles of the source. AS LONG AS THERE'S THE BOOK.
Nancy ;)

Irishlass, TO is a good book, and a tear jerker for most!! I'd say it still has all the Dirk Pitt flair it needs to have to make a great book!!! th:

can't wait to read it. I hope dirk writes as well as clive. Blood will tell. t:

Hello All

Treat me nice, it is my first post here. I Rcently had a meeting with Both Clive and Dirk as they are over here in the UK. The book Black Wind has a UK release date of Spetember 25. I was pleased to hear that Dirk Pitt is to live on although his children will play an increasing role. t:

Colin

Welcome aboard, whitbycolin!

It's great that you met him recently in the UK, we know he's been over there looking for the Bonhomme Richard.

Cheers ... Tony p:

Leo

Thanks for the welcome! I do the same thing, once I start a new DP novel, I can't put it down until I'm done! :lol:

Hello all

I hope you do not find my first post here out of place as I am relatively new to this website.

I had the good fortune to speak to Dirk Cussler this morning before he leaves the UK tomorrow. I asked about his new forthcoming book and although he did not like to divulge anything he commented that he hopes he can do the Clive Cussler 'series' justice.

I said that if he has only a fraction of his fathers talent he should do well. He is hoping to carry on the many traditions we expect from the books and has promised that "Dirk Pitt" will still figure in the books, although not as a main character he will still make cameo appearances!

Best wishes to all

Thanks for posting that story, whitbycolin

I'm relieved that Dirk Pitt Sr. won't be out of the picture entirely. Hopefully he'll make those cameo appearances more often than not.

Cheers ... p:

I am hoping Dirk Sr will get the send off he deserves; A heros death! Than Dirk Cussler can continue writing about Dork Jr (Pun intended) and I can leave the series at that, especially if i dont like DC's writing. But heres to hoping I do! beer:
