I have been reading Inca Gold and have just finished the part of them getting back on the NUMA boat after being chased.....WOW! Didn't quit understand the mattress slide with the knives but I went with it.

I am enjoying this book a lot although it seems I always enjoy Clives books.

I am the slow reader amidst all of you. Be patient and I will again voice my enthusiasm.

Just had to voice my adrenilan of the moment.

I am also reading the report on Dirk Pitt which has to do with his involvement in the incidents surrounding the Drake Quipu and the Gold Body Suit of Tiapolla. It is more fun than smuggling illegal immigrants into Sungari! (But I never do that myself, I have Ki Wong do it for me). I am only interested in stealing Chinese artifacts though, I have gigantic rooms full of artifacts. I will have more soon! I have found the resting place of the Princess Dou Wan.

I grabbed that report because my agent Pavel Gavrovich thought it was the report that first mentions Congresswoman Loren Smith (who I was trying to bribe), but apparently that disgusting worm and thorn in my side Dirk Pitt© has known her from that incident where the Titanic was Raised.

Well, I am on my way to the Great Lakes with my mini sub The Sea Lotus, so I must go into my cabin and have Su Zhong give me a back rub before I steal all the national treasures of China for myself!

:) :P :)

A great read. th: It is hard to imagine the feelings of horror that someone would go through in an underground river with no way of knowing what lies ahead and knowing that there is no chance of turning back and the only way to get out is to push on into the unknown yike: . This is made even harder for Dirk with a busted wrist and some ribs as well as a bullet hole in his shoulder. This is One of Dirk's greatest escapes for sure!! beer:
