He was one of my favorite authors of escapist action-adventure books. Many were based on a historical fact or theory and then twisted into a modern day fairy tale of sorts. At least two of his books have been made into movies (Raise the Titanic and Sahara), though both of those could have been much, much better if they'd stayed closer to the books. He also spent a lot of time finding old shipwrecks, including the H.L. Hunley (the Confederate submarine) and collecting old cars. Rest in peace, Mr. Cussler. You will be missed. https://www.yahoo.com/entertai...llers-225640073.html *** "Aut viam inveniam aut faciam (I will either find a way or make one)." -- Hannibal Barca | ||

Bummer, I have been reading his books for decades. RIP Clive. "But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead."

Never read his books but I know he had some really nice cars. | |||

| Live for today. Tomorrow will cost more  |
I used to read him a lot, before he sold his name to all his "co-authors"; then I kinda lost interest. Still somewhat sad to hear of his passing. suaviter in modo, fortiter in re | |||

W.E.B. Griffin, Tom Clancy, and now Clive Cussler. I'm running out of authors. RIP all. Joe | |||
