Clive Cussler, "The Grand Master of Adventure", sends his intrepid heroes Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino on their wildest, boldest mission into the ancient world, unlocking extraordinary secrets and solving hideous crimes. Another fabulous story from the most beloved series from the number-one New York Times best-selling author.
The murders of a team of United Nations scientists in El Salvador.... A deadly collision in the waterways off the city of Detroit.... An attack by tomb raiders on an archaeological site along the banks of the Nile.... Is there a link between these violent events? The answer may lie in the tale of an Egyptian princess forced to flee the armies of her father 3,000 years ago.
During what was supposed to be a routine investigation in South America, NUMA Director Dirk Pitt finds himself embroiled in an international mystery, one that will lead him across the world and will threaten everyone and everything he knows - most importantly, his own family. Pitt travels to Scotland in search of answers about the spread of an unknown disease and the shadowy bioremediation company that may be behind it.Â
Meanwhile, his son and daughter face a threat of their own when the discoveries they have made in an Egyptian tomb put killers on their trail. These seemingly unrelated riddles come together in a stunning showdown on the rocky isles of Ireland, where only the Pitts can unravel the secrets of an ancient enigma that could change the very future of mankind.

"Dirk Pitt and his sidekick Al Giordino return in this latest Dirk Pitt adventure.
While on assignment in Central America, a major dam explodes, flooding much of the countryside. Dirk and Al soon discover that the water around the dam is full of disease-causing material.
Meanwhile in Egypt, Dirk Jr. and his sister Summer are at work on an archaeological dig. Unfortunately for them, there are bad people who happen to be interested in what they're excavating. During the course of the story, these two stories will converge in Ireland, where the Pitts will meet up with Evanna McKee, owner of BioRem Global Limited, whose company is polluting the waters with a deadly pathogen. Will the Pitts survive?
I'm a big fan of the Dirk Pitt series, and "Celtic Empire" is loaded with action, adventure, and interesting characters. As always, the story takes place on multiple continents, and Pitt and Giordino must outsmart their adversaries before it's too late. Highly recommended."

Celtic Empire A Dirk Pitt Adventure Audible Audio Edition Clive Cussler Dirk Cussler Scott Brick Penguin Audio Books Reviews
- 449 pages of non-stop reading excitement in the just released “Celtic Empireâ€, a Dirk Pitt novel by Clive Cussler and his son Dirk Cussler. When one reads a Dirk Pitt novel, you are initially brought back to an early period of history, and then to the present with a wealth of scientific information, danger and excitement.
In various parts of the world there are a number of violent events in areas where young boys are dying from an unknown reason or source. While doing work for NUMA (National Underwater and Marine Agency) in Copapayo, El Salvador, the Cerron Grande Dam suddenly explodes and NUMA Director Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino race to save some people on boats, before they get swept over the damaged dam. And yes, young boys in the area have been dying.
Around the same time, Dirk’s son and daughter, Dirk Pitt Jr. and Summer, both Special Projects Directors of NUMA, are working on a dig in Egypt when violence occurs. Soon the NUMA team is focused on areas of violence and young boy’s deaths from Karachi, to Mumbai, to Detroit and finally the clues take them to Scotland and Ireland where the mystery is finally solved.
As in previous Dirk Pitt novels, the three Pitt’s are in constant danger and in situations where there does not seem to be away out. Still, they always find a way, as they did in the final chapter on Skellig Michael Island off the coast of Ireland. And, like usual they seem to destroy a lot of cars, scooters, boats and more, before solving the mystery. Many thanks Clive & Dirk, you have once again hit the ball out of the ballpark! - …you'll find a lot of the same details common to all of Cussler's books, I think Clive and Dirk (.whoever actually does the writing these days) make one of the best Cussler teams writing the various series. Something happens somewhere, sometime in the past…and then the story moves into the (near, in this case May 2020 and ends two years later) present times.
Some evildoer connects with the past story element and it takes the Pitts and their friends to save the day. You get 2 usually connecting storylines, Dirk Sr. and Dirk Jr. and his sister, lots of sometimes hardly plausible action before they unite to save the day. Younger or Senior usually manage to meet Clive Cussler in a cameo appearance …he's in this book too. The car on the back covers of these books is in the story too, as almost always.
It's not Tom Clancy at his best (he's been dead for 6 years now and still writing books) but Clive and Dirk make one of the better writing teams (maybe the best of the "Cussler" teams.
Well worth owning and the writing is better than most of what you read. - Of all the Clive Cussler stories and documentaries I've read (all of them since the early 1980s, and catching up on the early ones) this is another. Except, in recent years Dirk Pitt kinda lost his mojo after taking over NUMA.
This story was more like the old Dirk and Al Giordino of the first generation writing that was such great fun to read. In fact, you'll even find some embedded adopted devices out of some of those stories...and that's okay. They are edge-of-seat reading even though you know our heroes will save the world as well as themselves.
The biggest challenge when reading Cussler stories is getting to a breathing point after a crisis where you can put the book down and go to bed, fully knowing as soon as you go back to reading you're going to be in another 50 pages of nail-bitiing drama. What's not to love? - I always love reading the next Clive Cussler book. They always have a very interesting plot, often connected with some interesting trivia from history. In this case, Egyptian history. And Irish history. That always adds an interesting twist to the story. And then there are the hair-raising situations they get into, and then get out of without (usually) having to shoot anyone... ) Great fun reading!
- I have read every Dirk Pitt book. With the world going crazy about political correctness, it's good to get lost in a book about a good man. Not perfect but someone trying to do the right thing for the right reasons. Waiting for the next Story.

I'm now able to listen to my book while I'm fixing meals. Like all of Clive Cussler books, I find it hard to put the book down or stop listening. The book keeps you spell bound wanting to know what's coming next. This was more than I usually pay for a book but frankly its been worth it.
- Another great adventure from the Cusslers. Who would expect an Egyptian Queen in Ireland?
This was another page turner that took us through Egypt, Scotland and Ireland with good characters and plenty of action. You just know that just when you think things are going well, the bad guys will show up and ruin the day. But it keeps the suspense going.
A good old fashioned story with good guys, bad guys and a world that needs saving.
