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.

In case you can't spare the 59 seconds: there is no new episode of Cussler Hustlers this week, as cohost Topper is travelling and away from his computer. We have two episodes in the can yet to be edited, and a third episode co-produced with another podcast, so there's still plenty of goodness to come!
In the meantime, can I recommend catching up on The Magnus Protocol, Kill James Bond! or Probably Science? Yes. Yes, I can.

ASIANS! Sorry, sorry! We're covering Part 1 of Deep Six and... well... ASIANS! Also Russians, because we haven't seen them for a while! Pitt is dragged in several different directions at once, and half of the book is completely unrelated. Apocalyptic nerve toxin? Check! Live volcanoes? Check! Sexy bank robberies? Check! Sexy EPA administrators? Check! Something weird happens to the President? Oh, you better believe that's a check! Strap in, folks, this one is gonna be a bumpy ride!

What a rush! Pitt talks himself into a suicide mission, and helpfully brings along twenty other men. He crashes a plane, gets sucked underwater, blown up with a nuke, and still manages to get in some top-notch monologuing. Which body part will Al Giordino miss the most? Why is Dirk glowing? Is Smurfette Syndrome real? Find out this, and less, on the climactic episode of Pacific Vortex!

The action really picks up, and by that, I mean Dirk walks himself and a sizable chunk of the Navy into a trap! Then another trap. Then another trap. THEN ANOTHER-... look, just listen to the episode. It won't make more sense, but at least we can try to figure it out together. Also, Nancy brags about all her celebrity encounters, while Topper tries to keep from swelling with patriotic mucus.

We're back! It's time to blaze through a book that has no time for dilly-dallying. Pitt finds a capsule and then nearly dies several times before thinking "Hmmm, there might be something going on here." Who is the sexiest woman in the Pittverse? Who is the most dangerous woman in the Pittverse? Might they be the same person?! ONLY TIME WILL TELL! Also, speedos!

PITT STOP #2 brings us teen heartthrob Peter Falk and the inimitable, world-famous, culture-defining Lieutenant Columbo. Nancy's Secret Boyfriend had a career spanning five decades of bringing down rich evildoers (so, of course, you know it's a work of fiction). Born the same year as Don Pendleton, which just goes to show you really could do anything you want back then, as long as you didn't die of war or tuberculosis.

Our first PITT STOP episode is about the progenitor to Dirk Pitt, the divergent ancestor of Rambo, the grandfather of The Punisher, and one of the most-read Men's Novel series in history: Don Pendleton's MACK BOLAN. This tall, dark-haired, leathery-skinned, absurdly-skilled ex-military man who spends six hundred books killing everyone who dares threaten America. At leask Dirk has the good sense to wait until wacky adventures happen to him. Enjoy, won't you?

We did it! We made it! THE END OF NIGHT PROBE! Clive is making up for lost time with a finale that kills half the named characters and two-thirds of the NPCs. Dirk commits several acts of international terrorism, which is what heroes do. Heidi gets her happy ending. The world finally figures out what to do with Canada, and absolutely no copyright laws are violated.

Pitt finishes killing everyone around him in Canadian waters, so he heads back to New York to kill some Yankees. More drunk, hairless sex. More side quests into weird history. A ghost attack and an impromptu bout of dinner theatre gives Dirk his final epiphany. Men would rather destroy democracy than go to therapy.
