Hello, SilveringOfRose,

Thank you for bringing Clive Cussler to my attention. I never met him, but with so many shared interests, there’s no doubt it would have been a party. I started reading the Dirk Pitt series years ago but never finished, and I’d forgotten how entertaining they were. Now I’ll go back and pick up where I left off. Thank you! I really appreciated your review, and I thank you for taking the time to read ANOTHER TRY. I hope you enjoyed it.(less)

Listening as the GPS navigated her through the tight, winding curves down Bald Peak Road, she dropped into the valley’s forested hills and acres of sun-kissed wildflowers and berries. She drove along a stretch where llamas and goats in front yards were as common as dogs on porches. And rusted automobiles served as statues.

"Wow, this one was one of the best Harvath books in a while. It reminded me of another great book. Last of the Breed by Louis L'Amour. Although I feel a little sad for Scott it is still great action all the way through. Strongly recommended."
