Just started ‘Poseidon’s Arrow’

‘Cussler is hard to beat’ is quoted from a national newspaper on the jacket. Which, when you think about it, isn’t a brilliant recommendation as it carries the implication that the author can be beaten.
    And another thing; if Clive Cussler was coming up with the ideas and letting his son Dirk do the donkey work, the slogan should have been: ‘Cusslers are hard to beat’. Plural.
