Clive Cussler is the author of over twenty-five internationally
bestselling books, including the Dirk Pitt adventure series, the
NUMA Files novels and the Oregon Files Adventures.
He grew up in Alhambra, California. He later attended Pasadena City
College for two years, but then enlisted in the Air Force during
the Korean War where he served as an aircraft mechanic and flight
engineer in the Military Air Transport Service. Upon his discharge,
he became a copywriter and later creative director for two leading
ad agencies. At that time, he wrote and produced radio and
television commercials that won numerous international awards, one
at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival.
Cussler began writing in 1965 and published his first novel
featuring Dirk Pitt in 1973. His first non-fiction work, The Sea
Hunters, was released in 1996. Because of this work the Board of
Governors of the Maritime College, State University of New York
considered The Sea Hunters in lieu of a Ph.D. thesis and awarded
Cussler a Doctor of Letters degree in May of 1997. It was the first
time since the College was founded in 1874 that such a degree was
bestowed.
Cussler is the founder the National Underwater & Marine Agency,
(NUMA), a non-profit organisation that dedicates itself to American
maritime and naval history. In addition to being Chairman of NUMA,
Cussler is a fellow in both the Explorers Club of New York and the
Royal Geographic Society in London.
A noted collector of classic automobiles, Cussler owns 85 of the
finest examples of custom coachwork and 50's convertibles to be
found anywhere. They are garaged near Golden, Colorado. Today,
Cussler divides his time between the mountains of Colorado and the
deserts of Arizona.
Boyd Morrison (Author)
Boyd Morrison is the author of six adventures, most recently The
Roswell Conspiracy and The Loch Ness Legacy.Morrison lives in
Seattle.
An all-out nonstop action thriller. The best one yet. The story
hits the gas pedal and never taps the brakes. Having an enemy that
is essentially a mirror image of the hero adds extra suspense and
mayhem. The characters truly seem in jeopardy, and nothing will
ever be the same
