Celtic Empire

A Dirk Pitt Adventure

By: Clive Cussler, Dirk Cussler

Narrated by: Scott Brick

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 read from the most beloved series from the #1 New York Times-bestselling 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 three thousand 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 which 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. 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.

Critic reviews

Praise for Celtic Empire

“The scene settings are colorful, the characters appealing or despicable as needed....One darned thing after another keeps the Pitts in peril and will keep readers turning the pages.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Cussler’s 25th Dirk Pitt novel has a little bit of everything that helped make the character, who the Associated Press once called the 'oceanic answer to Indiana Jones,' a household name to begin with—including lots of cutting-edge science and plenty of action.”—The Real Book Spy

“Celtic Empire is some of the best work between Clive and Dirk Cussler in years—proving that Dirk Pitt, one of the thriller genre’s premier heroes, has plenty more adventures left in him moving forward.”—Crime Reads

solid story and Scott Brick is a fabulous reader

while driving I love an interesting story, but since it's broken into driving segments it needs to be easy to follow (unlike Clancy who always seems to have 8 characters with similar foreign names!). the narrator needs to have a pretty resonant voice as well
this audiobook fit both criteria. The only qualm I had is the very unlikely coincidence that Dirk and Dirk junior both ended up embroiled in the same conspiracy continents away. the other issue is junior being attacked 5 times and never considering arming himself

forgiving this. it was still fast paced and interesting

An ok book with flaws

I mostly liked this book, though Dirk Jr came off a bit thick. Summer too.

Great book!

I love Scott Brooks voice. This was a great book, lots of action, and captured your interest.
Got a love Clive Cussler for all the ingenious books he’s written. I’m trying to listen to every one of them!

Clive cuddled does it again!

Love all the different places countries locals so well described! Hope to read many other ad ventures!
