There are so many great writers out there, once you start following a particular series, it is easy for it (or them) to suddenly become the ONLY things you read. So for some readers, it is more fun sampling lots of different, stand along books.Ron Fortierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13309149554499286208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899342.post-59425302767010153232014-02-14T14:56:08.649-08:002014-02-14T14:56:08.649-08:00For the sake of asking: why do you think readers a...For the sake of asking: why do you think readers avoid popular best-selling series like the Cussler ones? I have read only two, but that's not an avoidance, just a "I like to space out books of the same series."Scott D.

Whereas I have always enjoyed Clive's Dirk Pitt series, the historic background of the Bell series makes it my favorite of his easily.Ron Fortierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13309149554499286208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36899342.post-4853852107351817502014-02-14T13:36:15.186-08:002014-02-14T13:36:15.186-08:00Just finishing this one up now.

True confession time: despite being an avid action/adventure/pulp fan forever, I had never read a Clive Cussler book until this series; I actually avoided them.

Think Cussler first introduced him when he saw Pitt was getting older, so Austin became the new kid on the action block. Some fine adventures. I've yet to try the Fargo series. Too many books, too little time.

I've read the first three. I tried Cussler's Fargo series (The Tombs) but was underwhelmed. Are they good and I just got a bad book? And what do you think of the Austin series?Scott D.
