"Better than the average Dirk Pitt book because it had all the characters involved and the plot was modern and interesting. I had to read this book in little snippets so I didn't get to enjoy it as much as I would have liked but it was still a good "escape" book. "
— Michelle (4 out of 5 stars)
“Fans of the indefatigable Pitt will enjoy watching their hero as he joins the battle on land, in the air, and at sea.”
— Publishers Weekly“[Crescent Dawn] defies expectations and is arguably the best of the Dirk Cussler novels. Cussler fans will be thrilled to see their favorite hero back in his prime.”
— Library Journal“Cussler, writing with his son, once again blends history, technical knowledge, bombs, bullets, and betrayal into cinematic action.”
— Kirkus Reviews" Dirk Pitt never disappoints. Enjoyably predictable. "
— Jasonchicks, 6/23/2011" Whatever Dirk Pitt, his kids and his friends are up to, it's a must-read for me! "
— Elizabeth, 6/8/2011" Another great Clive Cussler thriller - almost seemed to be too many stories going on but it all came together in a great way. "
— Rick, 6/7/2011" A fun Dirk Pitt novel. The funny thing about this book is it takes place in 2012, and a radical brother/sister duo are trying to create chaos and uprising all across the Middle East. With current events how they are, the whole book is a little ironic. But this book is good for a fun read. "
— Christine, 6/3/2011" Don't judge. I read Clive Cussler for the same reason I watch cheesy disaster movies: no brain power required and the good guys win. "
— Christy, 4/28/2011" Silly but entertaining, ties in history and science plausibly "
— Fred, 4/27/2011" Not a ton of substance to a Dirk Pitt adventure, but this one - like the others - is full of action and adventure and an interesting story. "
— Chris, 4/20/2011" typical for the dirk pitt series "
— Sheldon, 4/15/2011" While the theme of terror in the Islamic world gets a bit too boring, the book weaves in historical events in a way Ken Follet and Wilbur Smith would be proud of. Good read, even during 1 entire session! "
— Anandh, 3/27/2011" Another enjoyable read by the Cussler duo. "
