I apologize if it seems like Cussler novels are all that I review these days, but that will change soon. I've read my whole collection now, so I should be reviewing different books from now on. To the point, Atlantis Found is just another great adventure novel. Cussler has truly mastered the art of keeping the reader entertained, even if you're not on the edge of your seat, so to speak. This adventure takes you around the world, from Colorado to Argentina to Antarctica and back. The plot involves a cult of Neo Nazi fanatics who plan to induce a polar shift by cutting off one of the Antarctic ice shelves, causing massive flooding worldwide.
Nazis in Antarctic is one theme that is widely overused, but in this book it seems to work. Once again the unlikely heroes from the National Underwater & Marine Agnecy (Numa) must stop a maniacal scheme of world domination. My only criticism is that after you've read many Cussler novels, the plot begins to be a tad too predictable. There's always one twist, but after that, you can pretty much tell where the book is going. One thing I do like is the clever dialogue between characters, and the characters themselves.
Overall, another great adventure novel to occupy yourself with, perhaps if you're taking a break from racking your brain over more complex novels. Regardless, the Cussler series will continue to be one of my favorites, with interesting, humorous characters and action packed adventures. Cussler will never let you down.
