Critic Reviews

"Cussler is hard to beat." (Daily Mail)

"Clive Cussler is the guy I read." (Tom Clancy)

"The Adventure King." (Daily Express)

Audio Levels Vary Widely.

Often between Paragraphs. Sometimes within Sentences. Story wise you know what you're getting. Narrator always good. just the sound levels let it down, jolting the listener out of the experience.

Metric and Imperial

I hated hearing every measurement in imperial and metric. Bailed in chapter 8, It sucked

Great story but...

This is a great story but the recording is not the typical quality. The sound is the most noticeable when a part that was recorded at a different time is brought in. Sound is lower or clarity is different. I have never experienced this with a book of this caliber.

Good book...but sound issues

The sound is all jacked up. it continually cycles between quiet and loud throughout the entire book. Please fix!

Long, Excellent, Exciting

Totally enjoyed this book
It was really long but the plots were woven together seamlessly
I had recently went back through all the series that was available from Audible snd am really exited that the earlier books are being recorded and included

Great book, BAD audio quality

Another great Clive Cussler book... but the audio quality is horrible. it sounds like there's different readers, the volumes change, and some of the metrics are for the European market and Summer for the US market. it should be easy to fix this mess so it doesn't detract from the great story

Another winner! Cussler has outdone himself again.

Another wonderful Dirk Pitt Adventure. I don't know how Clive Cussler can be so creative and come up with such wonderful stories, but I'm grateful he does.

A great adventure

This is the second Clive Cussler novel I ever read. it is a great adventure that will keep you captivated. I have listened to Inca Gold two time and have read it three time. Scott Brick dose a masterful job of telling the story. I recommend it to anyone wanting a good story were good wins in the end.

Could used to be recorded

Great story but could use to be re-recorded. There are some weird spots where it almost sounds like someone beside Scott Brick is reading. Also a couple duplication of words in those inserted clips.

you'll laugh, you'll curse you'll cry.

Clive starts out with a short story as a prelude to the main story.the character are indeed characters and people I woulcall friends. friends.
You have a terrific imagination mr Cussler or you know some exciting people. 😀

Bad editing

As usual the story was good, and the narrator was as usual good,but for some reason it seemed like bits were edited in, because his voice would go from the normal pitch and volume, to a lower pitch and louder, just like that particular bit had been recorded at a different time and on different equipment and added in, which I found very annoying and off putting, because it didn’t fit in with with how he was reading it. To be honest it totally ruined it for me.

Of it's time, so don't buy unless you can cope

You have to except that when these were written it was a sexist, jingoistic world of stereotypes.

The story rolls along with the bravo we love. Good guys triumph, all be it with some struggle. Adventure in a tin

Sound quality is not consistent

Scott Brick does his usual solid delivery but whoever was in charge of recording did him and the book no favours.
The narration has been patched, badly. The levels are all over the place and stand out like a sore thumb. Really detracts from the listening pleasure.
All the other books prior to this in the Dirk Pitt series seem fine.

Really good

Always enjoy these books. I would recommend if you like adventure and history. It's a great combination.

Story great

Story not believe able but so much fun shame the sound kept going up and down on the narration really annoying

Cussler knows adventure

First book of the series I read and been hooked ever since! Great adventure stories!

Shame about the Editing.

A good story, totally immersing.
Although the poor editing of the audio and adding verbal text as if other narrative was wrong, made for an irritating listen. As to the thought that anyone actually cares if it’s meters or feet. Just Choose one snd stick with it.
We don’t care.

Inca Gold

An excellent story. I enjoyed it very much. Looking forward to more Dirk Pitt tales

Strange narration

Somtimes a different voice narrates parts, it's very perturbing and doesn't match the rest told.
