Dark Watch is my favorite Clive Cussler book. It's one of the later books in the series so the read feel the part of the larger crime fighting family. Also there seems to be much more suspense woven into this book then most of the other books. Also the international crime syndicate that they take down is worldwide and this challenges the team to do things the never would of before.
