I just finished Dragon and I quite enjoyed it. At this point in my reading I rate Dragon as #2 favorite with Sahara as #1. Mind you , I have several on my shelf that I haven't read yet, so I may be altering my top 3 favorites as I go along. I am presently reading Inca Gold - and I must say that the first several chapters have been non-stop action.
I stopped by my favorite used book store and found a copy of Meditteranean caper that I was looking for. It was a paperback with Dirk on the front with face mask, fins and a knife between his teeth. I don't know what printing that came from but I think it was an origional paperback. (I could be wrong but it was the one I read as a teenager.) Anyhow, I only paid $2. and I got what I wanted.

You all have a good day now.

It's funny how a lot of people rate Dragon, Sahara, and Inca Gold at the top of their favorite lists - One could argue that this was Clive at his best!!

For what it's worth - my favorite is Inca Gold. The whole underground river adventure to the sea of Cortez is the best climax in the Pitt series IMHO.
