I am visually impaired for years and read books is to me like someone who can not swim. Clive Cussler belonged, even at times when I could still pick up a book in his hand and read, always to my favorite authors. That's why I was happy to finally get a Cussler (previously only "ice" and even reduced) to hear. And for me it was worth it. Although he ranks not necessarily at the top of his Dirk Pitt novels, but worth it. Hopefully now come finally a few more of his novels as an audio book.
