I searched and discovered that Pacific Vortex was actally the first in the series so that was where I started. I've read all the way up to Night Probe, but then got distracted when a friend suggested James Rollins. I love Dirk Pitt and Al. The thing I enjoy about series like this is the introduction of the characters and how they grow together as the series progresses. I will read more, and in order May 17, PM.

My humble, unsolicited opinion: I think Lance is on the right track. Jun 16, PM. Me too, I concur with Lance. Raise the Titanic got me hooked on this genre back in about and I still love it! All of the early Cussler novels are all time favs of mine.
The scene in Deep Six where the civil war re-enactors square off with the bad guys is epic. But for the past several years, they just aren't as exciting. If you want to read classic Cussler, avoid the tag-team books he has been putting his name on.
Jul 13, PM. Back in , a local author came to speak to our high school English class. I didn'tbpay much attention I was only paying attention to the girl in the third row That was my introduction to Clive Cussler, and I've been hooked ever since. Jul 14, AM. George - you should read the Oregon Files series.
I have read most of Clive's work but think these are the best. Lead character Juan Cablrillo is his best Hero to date, a sea based mercenary version of James bond complete with enough tech and gadgets to make Q jealous. Jul 14, PM. I'm having a hard time getting into any of Cussler's books.
Any ideas on what to try or should just give up? William wrote: "I'm having a hard time getting into any of Cussler's books. You can't do much better than Cyclops when it comes to "shits happening very fast one after another without any break".
And if you want a relatively slower paced but realistically detailed read with a better characterization and a very different-type story with more focus on mystery, mindwork and intrigue without much impossible action-adventure they're here too, just not on the same level as the other books , Night Probe! Also Pacific Vortex! Jul 15, PM. It is NOT to be read for style.
The writing will not shine in any of them. The towering iceberg drifting in the North Atlantic was a floating tomb. Embedded in the great gleaming mass was a ship — sealed in so solidly that not even its mast protruded. Here was a sea mystery to rank alongside the Bermuda Triangle and the Marie Celeste. But for Major Dirk Pitt, top troubleshooter for the National Underwater and Marine Agency, it was also the first link in a fantastic chain of events that would lead him too close — and too often — to violent death.
The Titanic Secret. In the present day, Pitt makes a daring rescue from inside an antiquated submersible in the waters off New York City. His reward afterwards is a document left behind a century earlier by legendary detective Isaac Bell—a document that re-opens a historical mystery…. In , in Colorado, Isaac Bell is asked to look into an unexplained tragedy at Little Angel Mine, in which nine people died. His dangerous quest to answer the riddle leads to a larger puzzle centered on byzanium, a rare element with extraordinary powers and of virtually incalculable value.
Treasure Dirk Pitt, 9. Now Dirk Pitt discovers the secret trail of the treasures of Alexandria—a trail that plunges him into a brutal conspiracy for total domination of the globe. Zealots threaten to unseat the governments of Egypt and Mexico, exposing America to invasion and economic collapse. Suddenly, from East to West, anarchists reach their deadly tentacles into the heart of the United States.
An international band of terrorists is making its play for world power on the high seas—and Pitt is the only man alive who can stop them!
Pacific Vortex! Dirk Pitt, 1. This is by far the most popular book by Clive Cussler. Dirk Pitt, death-defying adventurer and deep-sea expert, is put to the ultimate test as he plunges into the perilous waters of the Pacific Vortex—a fog-shrouded area where dozens of ships have vanished without a trace.
Its loss poses an unthinkable threat to national defense. Fantastic stories. Keep them coming. The book I read was Medusa.
I have been hooked on Mr. I love how the women in his stories are strong and intelligent. I encourage everyone I come in contact with to read his books.
Having them to read has gotten me through some rough times. Thank you for posting the list. Ever since I have been driven to read and save. Unfortunately the library has gotten out of control, to the point my good wife insisted I pare it down as I had books stashed in every nook and cranny I could fashion hard and paperback. Our agreement was; I could chose 3 authors, and hard back only. Visual imagery and some personal knowledge of dive equipment make some of the scenes jump off the pages for me.
Clive, no library could be complete without your writings, Thanks so very much. Thanks for the great chrono list. Fargo series is preposterous but entertaining, Oregon Files based on ridiculous premise and written unevenly. Some of the ups and downs can be attributed to changing co-authors. I find the main character disgustingly arrogant, unlikable and totally non-empathetic. Churning out more titles by trading on the reputation of Mr.
Cussler does not necessarily equal top flight reading every time. Thank you for this up to date list of all the series of Cussler books! Most helpful and useful. I wish Mr. Cussler would make his own website as current and easy to use! Thanks again for the listings and the hard work keeping the site current!
Thank you for the list. Will have to start on Oregon Files now! I checked the whole Kobo books website and sadly these three books are not available.
I only found Sacred Stone listed at all, but currently not available for purchasing. Can anyone please enlighten me as to whether the following titles were ever published under the Michael Joseph imprint in Hardcover?????
I am retired and on a fixed income so I could only afford the paperback books. Bought it and got hooked. I have read 50 of your book so far, and wait and look for every new book to come out. Loved them all. So I have a collection of all your book.
Keep it up you are the Best. Cussler I would like to thank you for all great books they have keep me in great spirits as I have Stage 4 cancer and unable to drive anymore but I have good friends who get me to library. Your style of writing is fantastic I have trouble putting it down because I just have to read what is going to happen next. Please keep the books coming I look forward to read your next one.
Thank you keeping me sane and positive. Have been able to read Clive Cussler books in order, since , have always been a fan and get each new book written from my local library. I must also be an anorak, as I keep a list of his books on my computer with the word Read alongside so that when I visit said library I know which ones I have read. I also list who he co- wrote the books with.
I love your books thank you for the books in order. I have to gey 3 of the newest books and I will have all of them. This will make it so much easier to know if I already have a certain book. I have enjoyed his books since I first saw them at the book stores….
His books give one a bit of history and geography as well as a rip-roaring adventure yarn. Thanks, Clive and I wish you well for many long, fascinating books to come. I disagree with the reading order of the Isaac Bell series. He skips around in time so much it would be interesting to put them chronological order based on the date each one takes place and see if it makes sense to read them in that order.
I have not done this yet but it has been on my to do list for a while. I am also interested in reading them in the chronological order of the date that the story takes place. If so would the references to other events from other books make any sense? I do not have all the books but pick up any I find at second hand stores or flea markets etc and so have several duplicates. I cannot read a kindle for any length of time, gives me a headache; plus having to make sure that it is charged etc.
I have also collected several hardbacks that do not leave the house. Just love his easy to read style without all the sex and cussing.
I love adventure reading and feel that Clive Cussler with his writing style actually makes you feel part of the adventure as an observer in the story. His books are hard to put down once you have commenced reading, you want to continue reading until the end of the adventure.
The characters are easy to relate to and provide that gutsy determination to see a project through to the end regardless of the dangers that confront them. I am looking forward to reading more of Cusslers books. This list is invaluable. It shows how many fans he has as his book keep getting donated daily. Clive Cussler is one of the best authors around.
Keep them coming Mr Cussler. I am 3 books behind and now I know it thanks to you. I was on Mr. Thank you again so very much. I have added a new section on his other works at the end of the page. Thanks for the mention Jackie! I think Clive Cussler is the finest adventure novelist of all time. His books just have an electricity about them that no one can duplicate.
With me, sometimes my favorite of anything is the first encounter that I have with something. For me, it was sitting on a warm sandy beach on a beautiful and not too hot summer day.
The book was Cyclops, and the second the scene with Dirk Pitt escaping in a powered bathtub bathtub splashed across the page I was hooked.
Another really big moment for me was the very first introduction of Dirk Jr. Extraordinary books. I am a very great fan of Clive Cussler, he is one of the best Adventure writers i have read, i an 73 years old and i have every single book he has every written in my collection.
I went by the library a few days later and saw the Sahara book on the shelf and checked it out. My goal is to own every book Clive Cussler has ever wrote. Love his writing style and the way he can hold you on the edge of your seat with ease it seems. Thank you for the Chronological list of books. I have skipped around so much with the Dirk books that I would love to start at the beginning and read all the way through in order. Even re-reading the ones I currently have again.
Love the books, the characters and the Writer. I first came upon them about 18 months ago through eBay when a member was selling them for a price not to be missed for a group of 8. Since then I have read them all. Such fun — with drama, comedy, a bit of romance and very well written.
As has previously been said, these books supply hours of fun and adventure for all age groups. I am 71 years of age and female. Thanks again,Bob. Thank you for making a list in order. A co-worker told me about Cussler books. The very first one I read was Raise the Titanic. I was hooked after the first 3 chapters. I love it when he shows up in the story. It just adds to the fun. I just got caught up on the newer series.
Now I am chomping at the bit for the next one. He is a sensational writer. Thanks again! I have recently seen several times one of mr. Any help from anyone. I have a collection of Cussler both in the Philippines and here.
Been reading his books since I was His books has helped me get through tough times. He is simply wonderful. A thousand thanks for this list as between the version in french and english and the kindle I found myself with double ups rather annoying … they are easy reading , fun books to read with enough research to bring us to reality even though one cannot imagine the heroes not succeeding.
With space being an issue kindles are very useful however not all are in the kindle version. I love the series and was collecting every book that he had written, but I recently lost most of my books to a flooded basement and am now trying to replace what I have lost. Every thing was in paperback and now everything is coming out in hardback why is this. Now I have half in paperback and half in hardback, why the switch.
I tutor poor to slow readers. I was a late reader myself and gladly use Cussler and Patterson books when tutoring. They are written in easy, uncomplicated, and fun reading style. Seems they allow better retention for learners, I know they have helped me greatly over the years. Many thanks to Clive and James for their dedicated writing instincts. They serve more than just the fun of reading, they also assist a reading student the pleasures of reading and help them feel better about themselves as they read.
I listen to your books on Amazon Audible. I have finished 2 series, and would love to start more. However, there are several missing from other series. Is there by chance any possibility that these ones that are not on audible will be added? I am an over the road truck driver and I listen to the books while driving. Please Please can these missing ones please be added to audible.
I would love to read the other series. I have all his books that were published in Portuguese language. I hope that the other books can be translated to Portuguese too ;- I can read in English, but I take more time, so I prefer to read them in mny own language. So I have 28 books in Portuguese. So we need a lot yet. Love Clive Cussler Books! I appreciate the chron list as I can keep track. I love reading them in order!
And keep reading them over and over. I finally made up bates labels with title and date and taped on spine of book so I could keep them in order. I love that Clive puts himself in the books as well!
Dear Mr. I like a few authors but I think you are the best author I have ever read with so much entertaining on every page. I intend to live to so I hope you do also because I want to continue to be entertained. Thank you for sharing your talent. First book I read Was Flood Tide a few months ago, then The Serpent landed on my doorstep last weekend I collect books from my neighbours to donate to charity — having read the choice ones first!
I am now completely hooked and feeling that have missed out all these years. Now I have your list I can get down to some serious reading. Good stories with no unnecessary gore, bad language or sex. Thank you for the list! Just got into the Fargo Adventures The Tombs. I definitely have some checking up to do.
Been reading cussler now for about 16years ands stii entralled by every new release. Wishing him more power to his elbows. What i miss the most was midway through the Dirk Pitt series, when Clive Cussler would show up for a paragraph to a page and save the day! I could finally put down the book and go to the bathroom.
I have been on board since the very first book. A friend and I try to see who finds when the next one is coming out first!
Vixen 03 was read in one sitting! I was very pleased to find this site. Dirk Pitt is one of my favorite so far and also Isaac now. I am blind so have to read them on my iPad and able to get them through the talking book Library.
Thanks so much for making my life fun. Thanks for this current and up to date list! They are sold in every other forms except kindle. Since they are the only books missing from my whole Cussler collection I would be grateful for any info you might haveregarding. Are they sold by any other online retailer? Thank you very much. Treasure, Dirk Pitt series 9 Dragon, Dirk Pitt series 10 Sahara, Dirk Pitt series 11 Inca Gold, Dirk Pitt series 12 Shock Wave, Dirk Pit series 13 Flood Tide, Dirk Pitt series I have every book out so far.
I began collecting about Most are in hard cover format. Still looking for more to replace the paperbacks. My Question at this point is :- Who was the main Cussler publisher prior to ?????? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Do you have any insight as to why and if they will be available soon? Have contacted Kindle and Clive Cussler on line but no answer! Hi Steve! I was the one searching for Kindle editions about the 6 books from the Dirk Pitt series not in Kindle form. Definitely brain candy.
I read a book or two and am done for a year or two on the "Save the Whales" mantra. He somehow creates a lot of violence without any actual killing and his method of writing is to keep the action moving nonstop so you can't put the book down.
In that he is brilliant but frankly his books wear me out. He is a pretty good author in spurts for light reading for long periods of idle time.
They are fast paced, low impact reading. Great for long trips or laying around the beach. That's the Oregon Files series. I love this book series! The way CC weaves history whether real or fictional history , as well as modern technology, different religions and philosophies and myths, as well as international politics and conflicts, together is mind blowing.
For instance, I had never heard of the tungsten "telephone pole", satellite fired, super-high kinetic energy projectile weapons, before I read "Plague Ship". In that book, The Corporation utilizes "Stalin's Fist" to help save the day. I researched "Stalin's Fist", and it definitely refers to those types of weapons.
Also, it's pretty cool how CC makes cameo appearances in his own books! I read all the early ones and was hooked. Now he has co-author and seems to be putting them in a word processor and cranking them out based on his name. Stuart Woods the same. Lee Childs and John Grisham seem to be exceptions. I've read a couple of his books. My issue is that I like ebooks and a number of his early books are not available as ebooks.
For some reason, I never thought to check the audio books.
