Title: Kost City gets lost
Review: Having read almost every Cussler since "Raise the Titantic", perhaps I've come to expect too much. The difference is that now Kurt Austin is nothing more than Dirk Pitt redone, and the storylines are well worn, the action has been done to death and the bad guys are cartoons. The writing moves along, but is uninspiring. Maybe a book a year is too short a deadline, and more time between books would help the authors to develop better plots and stronger action and characters who are not the same old stereotypes, or maybe Clive should go it alone again. This is the second in a row that has disappointed this much, and I'm not looking forward to anymore as I once did.
