Polar Shift

Reference to Serpent and Fire Ice:

Adler responded with a big-toothed grin. "It's very hard to minimize the discovery of the body of Columbus in an underwater Mayan pyramid. Or to be little the prevention of a methane hydrate tsunami off the East Coast."
Polar Shift (4)

Reference to Fire Ice:

"Petrov here," he said.
"Hello, Ivan. I remember when you answered the phone yourself," said the voice on the other end of the line.
"And I remember when you were still named Kurt Austin," Petrov said. His snarl didn't match the gleam of amusement in is eyes.
Touch�, old pal. Still same old, sharp-tongued KGB apparatchik. How are you, Ivan?"
"I'm fine. How long has it been since the Razov affair?"
"A couple of years, anyway. You said to call if I ever needed a favor."

Austin and Petrov had worked together to torpedo the plans of Mikhail Razov, a Russian demagogue who was behind a plot to launch a tsunami against the East Coast by using volatile methane hydrate ocean deposits.
Polar Shift (22)

Reference to Fire Ice:

Petrov was in his forties, with a broad forehead and high cheekbones. He would have been handsome, if not for the massive scar that defaced his right cheek. The scar was a gift from Austin, but he bore the American no ill will. He and Austin had clashed several times when they were working for specialized naval intelligence units in their respective countries during the Cold War. Things got hot when their paths crossed during a Soviet attempt to capture a sunken American spy submarine and its crew.

Austin had rescued the crew, and warned Petrov that he had placed a timed explosive charge on the sub. Angry at being bested, Petrov dove in his minisub and was caught in the explosion. He had not held the incident or the resulting scar against Austin, and, in fact, took it as a lesson not to let his temper guide his actions. Later, when they found themselves working together on the Razov affair, they proved a formidable team. If Austin thought he was going to cut him out of some fun in his own country, he was greatly mistaken, Petrov ruminated. He picked up the phone to start things rolling.

Inca Gold

Reference to Sahara:

"Such things do exist," said Pitt. "A few years ago I was on an expedition that found an underground stream."
"Somewhere in the desert Southwest?" inquired the cook.
"No, the Sahara. It flowed under a hazardous waste plant and carried pollutants to the Niger River, and then into the Atlantic where is caused a proliferation of red tides." Inca Gold (35)

Inca Gold

Reference to Sahara:

"If anyone can track down a sea mystery, you can."

"I have an utter lack of willpower when it comes to delving into one of your enigmas, especially after we found old Abe Lincoln on a Confederate ironclad in the middle of the Sahara Desert together." Inca Gold (12)

Reference to Sahara:

It reminded him of his trek across the Sahara Desert of Northern Mali with Giordino two years before. They had come within minutes of dying under the fiery hell of scorching temperatures with no water. Only by finding a mysterious plane wreck did they manage to construct a land yacht and sail across the sands to eventual rescue. Inca Gold (49)

Reference to Treasure:

"My staff is still buried under the two truckloads of antiquities from the Byzantine cargo vessel you and Al found imbedded in the ice on Greenland a few years ago." Inca Gold (26)

More references in Shock Wave

Reference to Night Probe:

"Why not? Considering that NUMA found a very profitable oil site off Baffin Island for them several years ago, I figure they won't mind if we take a canoe trip around Kunghit and photograph the scenery."
Shock Wave (14)

Reference to Inca Gold (9):

"Ah yes." Giordino said, remembering. "Payback time for watching like an impotent snail when that terrorist cut your safety line while you were swimming around that sinkhole in the Andes."
"I has to climb out using nothing but a pair of screwdrivers."
Shock Wave (49)

Reference to Dragon:

"Can I help you?" asked Pitt.
"Yes, I contacted you some time ago about coming by and viewing your car collection. We parked next to each other at a concourse a few years ago."
"Of course, I displayed my Stutz and you had a Hispano Suiza."
Trojan Odyssey (49)

Reference to Atlantis Found:

"I hope you saved your cold-weather gear from the Atlantis project," said Sandecker wryly. "You'll be returning to Antarctica in an attempt to penetrate the ice down to the vast lake scientists believe is under the ice cap."
Valhalla Rising (43)

Flood Tide

Reference to Treasure:

"How is Dirk?" inquired Stewart. "I haven't seen him since we worked together on the Lady Flamborough cruise-ship search down off Tierre del Fuego a few years ago." Flood Tide (23)

Reference to Inca Gold:

"I bought a bottle in the Sonoran Desert during the Inca gold project for a dollar sixty-seven," said Pitt. Flood Tide (32)

Reference to Inca Gold:

Sandecker studied the smoke that curled from his cigar. "You make it sound more valuable than the Inca treasure Dirk found in the Sonoran Desert." Flood Tide (48)

Reference to Shock Wave:

He was dead tired, his body, never fully recovered from the injuries he received on an island off the coast of Australia only a few weeks before, shrieking for a rest. Flood Tide (45)

Reference to Raise the Titanic!, Treasure and Sahara

From Heading the project to raise the Titanic to discovering the long-lost artifacts from the Alexandria Library to stopping a red tide in the oceans that would have ultimately decimated like on earth, during the past fifteen years the subject was directly responsible for operations that either saved a great many lives or were of inestimable benefit to archaeology or the environment. Flood Tide (12)

Reference to Shock Wave:

"What are you doing that's not worth repeating?" asked Yaeger facetiously. Yet his voice betrayed concern. He knew Pitt was still recovering from inquiries suffered during a volcanic eruption on an island off Australia only the month before.
Flood Tide (2)

Reference to Night Probe!:

The second killer failed to react because he was searching for Pitt inside an antique Pullman coach parked at one side of the hangar on a pair of rails. The car had once been part of the crack express train the Manhattan Limited that ran between New York and Quebec, Canada, between 1912 and 1914. Pitt had acquired the old coach after finding it in a cave. Flood Tide (24)

Reference to Shock Wave:

"Would you believe this is the second time in a year a pretty girl and I had to escape sharks who chased us over the streets of Washington?"
She stared at him. "This has happened to you before?"
"On that occasion I was driving a sports car and had a much easier time of it." Flood Tide (27)

Night Probe! Night Probe!

Reference to Raise the Titanic!:

"Mr. Pitt, I'm Ray Weeks. This is indeed an honor. I was absorbed by your work on the Titanic raising. You might even say I'm a fan of yours." Night Probe! (53)

Reference to Vixen 03:

He held her hand in a gentle grip and the smile faded. "I was saddened to hear of Admiral Bass's passing. He was a good man."
Her eyes grew dark. "The end was painless. After he went into a coma he just slipped away."
"God knows how the Vixen affair might have turned out if he hadn't volunteered his services."
"Remember when we met?"
"I came to interview the admiral at his inn near Lexington, Virginia, where he retired." Night Probe! (9)

Reference to Raise the Titanic!:

"The former president knew," Sandecker explained. "He had a fancy for supporting futuristic concepts. As I'm sure you're aware of by now, he secretly funded an under cover think tank called Meta Section. It was Meta Section scientists who designed the Doodlebug. Wrapped in security, the plans were given to NUMA. The President arranged the bankroll, and we built it." Night Probe! (25)

Reference to Raise the Titanic!:

Sandecker nodded. "The Sappho I. It was one of four deepwater recovery vehicles used on the Titanic project last year." Night Probe! (43)

Reference to Vixen 03:

In the last three years she had weathered a hysterectomy, a divorce, and a tender May-December affair with an admiral twice her age who recently died from a heart attack.
Night Probe! (9)

Reference to Vixen 03:

Since the death of Admiral Walter Bass she had felt no urge to search out and emotionally involve herself with another man.
Night Probe! (9)

Reference to Raise the Titanic! and Vixen 03:

Unlike his chief of staff, the President greeted Pitt courteously and held out his hand. "I've often read your exploits on the Titanic and Vixen projects, Mr. Pitt. I was particularly impressed with your handling of the Doodlebug operation. It's an honor to meet you at last."
Night Probe! (35)

Vixen 03

Reference to Raise the Titanic!:

"His name is Pitt, Dirk Pitt. He's special-projects director for the National Underwater and Marine Agency. You know-he's the guy who headed up the Titanic's salvage operation." Vixen 03 (1)

Reference to Raise the Titanic!:

"Dirk Pitt"

"The fellow who raised the Titanic a few months back?" Vixen 03 (47)

Reference to Raise the Titanic!:

A 1912 Renault open-drive landaulette."

"Seems a bit worse for the wear, "said Jarvis, wiping a finger through a layer of rust.

Pitt smiled patiently. "She doesn't really look all that bad when you consider she's been immersed in the sea for seventy years."

Jarvis understood immediately. "From the Titanic?"

"Yes, I was allowed to keep her after the salvage project. Sort of a prize for services rendered., so to speak." Vixen 03 (50)

Reference to Raise the Titanic!:

"You want me to raise the aircraft from Table Lake?"
"Why not? My God, you salvaged the Titanic from thirty thousand feet in the middle of the Atlantic. A stratocruiser in a land locked lake should be child's play for a man of your talents." Vixen 03 (26)

Cyclops

Reference to Raise the Titanic!:

Pitt had dived on many shipwrecks and he was the first man to view the Titanic, but staring at the lost ghost ship of legend left him numb with an almost superstitious awe. Cyclops (21)

Reference to Deep Six:

"I realize that, but you've pulled skeletons out of the closet before."

Yaeger nodded thoughtfully. "Yes, the Bougainville shipping family a few months ago. A neat little caper, if I do say so." Cyclops (9)

Reference to Night Probe!:

"I see from the dossier General Velikov gave me that you directed a salvage project on the Empress of Ireland shipwreck in the Saint Lawrence River." Cyclops (30)

Reference to Night Probe!:

"You say you two met before?"

"Yes, during the Empress of Ireland project is search of the North American Treaty. I think you may recall it." Cyclops (42)

Reference to Raise the Titanic!

"Of course. Pitt is the number two man over at NUMA. He's the guy who raised the Titanic for the Defense Department." Cyclops (8)

Reference to Night Probe! :

Pitt stepped back and lowered the bat. "Does the name Brian Shaw do anything for you?" he asked calmly.
The twisted look of hate slowly changed to puzzlement, "The British agent? You knew him."
"Six months ago, I saved his life on a tugboat in the Saint Lawrence River. Remember? You were crushing him to death when I came up from behind and brained you with a wrench." Cyclops (55)

Reference to Deep Six (44):

He paused and stared fondly at the chassis of a French Talbot-Lago sports coupe that was in the early stages of reconstruction. The car had been nearly destroyed in an explosion, and he was determined to restore the twisted remains to their previous elegance and beauty. Cyclops (8)

Reference to Deep Six :

"And saved the President's life in Louisiana," added Fawcett. Cyclops (8)

Reference to Deep Six:

"... If it wasn't for Pitt, the President would be resting on the bottom of the sea instead of sitting in the While House. ..."

Cyclops (26)
