Our view

“Inca Gold” delivers what a Dirk Pitt adventure promises: sunken gold, a smuggling ring and the secrets of a vanished civilization. Clive Cussler’s twelfth novel about the hero is a quest that runs to over six hundred pages. Some readers find too little happening for a book of that size. It suits those in the mood for a long treasure hunt.
