About the Dirk Pitt Series

The Dirk Pitt books by Clive Cussler are full of action and adventure. They’re wild and crazy sometimes but that’s part of the fun. The main character Dirk Pitt is a tough smart guy who always ends up in some kind of wild situation. He’s the kind of guy who never backs down and always finds a way out no matter how bad it looks.

Each book has its own story but they all have the same feel – something big is at stake and Dirk is the guy who has to fix it. He travels all over, gets into trouble and always seems to come out on top. What makes it more interesting is his personal life. He lives in this huge airplane hangar near Washington and it’s packed with old cars, planes and even a train car. It’s weird but it fits him.

He’s not alone either – his best friend Al Giordino is always with him. They’ve known each other forever and work really well together. Al is funny and tough too and they have great chemistry. It’s like they’re more than friends almost like brothers.

Dirk’s background is pretty cool too. He’s the son of a U.S. senator and went to the Air Force Academy so he’s not just lucky – he’s smart and trained. If you like stories with action, mystery and heroes who do crazy stuff to save the day this series is definitely worth checking out.
