Cussler Hustlers

Two strangers, American and Canadian, go through EVERY Clive Cussler novel, from a (hopefully) modern progressive viewpoint. They also get off on tangents and talk about BETTER books, but there’s so much to love with these nerdy macho time capsules.

Act One of Cyclops is... talking. And meetings. And discussions. And conversations. And research. And exposition. And-... well, let's just say not a lot HAPPENS. But don't worry, this is actually a good thing! Clive is front-loading the boring stuff, and keeping it fairly swift and breezy, because the action is about to get bonkers. Secret Agent Santa takes on the Moon Men. Russia loses their own Moon Men. Cuba seems to have acquired some Ready To Eat Moon Men. Remember when America was excited about the moon? Cussler Hustlers Remembers!

NEW SEASON! New shenanigans! New treasure! New intrigue! When the book opened with a zeppelin disaster, both Nancy and Topper regressed to their childhoods and got lost in the inflatable nostalgia. There's a billionaire colony on the moon, a super-sized Russian moon lander, a bunch of frozen mystery corpses, and a sunken coal ship that might have the key to all of it. Drunk morticians, autism-coded detectives, and a formerly-brainwashed President are sure to make this a caper to remember!

PITT STOP #4: It's A Clip Show!

Saturday Sep 14, 2024

Saturday Sep 14, 2024

It's a beach episode! Nancy and Topper kick back and revisit the six books that have brought us to the dizzying heights of podcast greatness: Mediterranean Caper, Iceberg!, Raise the Titanic!, Vixen-03, Night Probe!, and Pacific Vortex. We get a couple things wrong, we're shocked by what DOES stick around a year or more later, and we give everything an objective scientific rating that will no doubt stand the test of time and be referenced in many a scientific journal. ALSO, an important announcement at the start: for various creative and mental health reasons, we will be reverting to an every-two-week schedule. This will give me the time and space to put more effort into the episodes, as well as pursue other creative endeavors. We pass the time savings on to YOU!

WE MADE IT! In spite of all our end-of-summer shenanigans, doctor-prescribed drug binges and wildfires, we managed to complete our super-sized finale to Deep Six! Dirk gets a lot of civilians killed on what is still probably the best day of their life. Giordino reminds us why he isn't bothered by Dirk's homicidal urges. Loren reminds us that you are obligated to have sex with whoever rescues you. Min Koryo reminds us of why you need to keep behind the safety rail. And Sal Cashio reminds us... uhm... honestly, I have no idea, but I'm gonna miss him. #RIPElevatorJoe

THE RESISTANCE has come together! THE RESISTANCE is composed of... uhm... all the top elites in Washington, and the NUMA paramilitary forces led by Dirk Pitt. Bougainville continues to solve all of their problems by blowing it up in the most attention-grabbing way possible. The Russians finally reveal themselves to perhaps not be the good guys. Guantanamo Bay rescues some drowning orphans. I'm not sure this book could get more 80s.

Every train has gone off every rail in this episode of Deep Six! The whole 'missing President' scandal has been uncovered by the press, but fortunately the President is back! Unfortunately, the President is being remote controlled and promises to completely disarm the country. Loren finds herself the extra special guest of some hired goons, and a completely different ship full of gold explodes. Dirk turns Sal Cashio into an unguided missile and promises to leap into heroic action just as soon as he finishes his drink. How many moving parts are we going to have at the climax of this thing?!

Your favorite cohosts are a little behind schedule and a little under the weather, but at least we still know more about health and medicine than a KGB agent! Psychopharmaceuticals abound in this tale of multicultural malpractice. Dirk kisses Loren goodbye. Some nerds get chopped. Cults are stealing television. We compare old-people injuries. This has been your Science Corner With Nancy!

KOREANS! Sorry, sorry! It's just so exciting to finally know which country we're supposed to be angry at. Speaking as a doctor, of course. Loren goes for a jog. Dirk gets out-manned. Sandecker feeds his ulcer. Sukarov does some elementary school science. The President is in some kind of tube. LASERS!

It's a Cussler Hustlers first, folks! Your hosts Topper and Nancy made friends with another real-life podcast, The Escapist Room! They're a brother and sister podcast who review the wonderful cheesy movies of their childhoods and the modern movies that give them that same feeling.
Since they do MOVIES and we do BOOKS, we're doing TWO CROSSOVERS, the first of which is THIS ONE RIGHT HERE! All four of us read Stone of Fire by J.F. Penn, a modern globetrotting archaeology action-adventure short novel written from a female perspective! It's certainly different than the Cussler fare we've reviewed so far, but is that enough to carry one woman's struggle to rescue her sister from at least one, possibly two, MAYBE three shadowy cabals intent on global destruction?
We don't know! Listen along and maybe you'll figure it out.

RUSSIANS! Sorry, sorry! Diving into Part 2 of Deep Six, and it mostly seems like spies spying, backstabbers backstabbing, and five or six different groups that have no idea what's going on. There's a lot of Oval Office shenanigans, KGB shenanigans, Korean shipping shenanigans, and I don't think Dirk is even IN this episode.  Refreshing!
