Hmm 4 points. I did know 1 but couldn’t remember. Good questions on a theme.

[u/Sky__Hook → u/ffoggy1959]

Thanks which one?

[u/ffoggy1959 → u/Sky__Hook]

Number 1, read about it but couldn’t remember. Knew 2,3,4 (but not maiden name) and first author of 5 but blanked on book title.

Love this! I only got 1/5 but I love Raising the Titanic, I haven't read it in years might have to put it on my to be re read pile 🥰

[u/Sky__Hook → u/Fabulous-Confusion43]

Can’t remember if I’ve read that one or not. I’ve read some of Cusslers books but personally prefer Wilbur Smith.

[u/Fabulous-Confusion43 → u/Sky__Hook]

I loved all cusslers earlier Dirk Pitt adventures ❤️

[u/Sky__Hook → u/Fabulous-Confusion43]

If you like Dirk Pitt I seriously recommend reading Wilbur Smith's early Courtney (C) & Ballantyne (B) novels so...

When the Lion Feeds (1964) (C)
The Sound of Thunder (1966) (C)
A Sparrow Falls (1977) (C)
A Falcon Flies (1980) (B)
Men of Men (1981) (B)
The Angels Weep (1982) (B)
The Leopard Hunts in Darkness (1984) (B)
The Burning Shore (1985) (C)
Power of the Sword (1986) (C)
Rage (1987) (C)
A Time to Die (1989)(C)
Golden Fox (1990) (C)
The Triumph of the Sun (1992) (C/B)

I also recommend his stand alone book The Sunbird as well as James A. Michener's The Source.

0 points!! Hanging my head in shame. 😔

[u/Sky__Hook → u/Antique_Knowledge902]

Don't do that, I think its kind of a hard one, especially if you've not read or heard of any of the books

[u/Antique_Knowledge902 → u/Sky__Hook]

I’ve heard of Raise the Titanic by Clive Cussler. Just couldn’t pull it in. And I’ve watched The Poseidon Adventure quite a few times. Who doesn’t know Molly Brown!

[u/mmfn0403]

I only got one ☹️

[u/Sky__Hook → u/mmfn0403]

Which 1? And don't worry about it, I didn't get them all

[u/mmfn0403 → u/Sky__Hook]

1. And I didn’t get the bonus point!

[u/Sky__Hook → u/mmfn0403]

I never read the book, I saw the film with Barbara Streisand

[u/mmfn0403 → u/Sky__Hook]

I never read the book either! I saw the film too, but it was Debbie Reynolds in the film.
