About Clive Cussler

During a very active, interesting life, author. Clive Cussler became interested in writing. He was in the Air Force during the Korean War followed by a career in advertising writing award winning commercials. In 1996 he wrote his first notification work, The Sea Hunters. From that work he was awarded a Doctor of Letters degree, with his work being accepted in lieu of a thesis. Then, in 2002 he was awarded the Naval Heritage Award for his efforts in the subject of marine exploration. He is also a Fellow in three prestigious marine organizations.

In keeping with his marine interests, his books revolved around character, Dirk Pitt, who was a marine engineer, government agent, and adventurer. His first two novels were more traditional maritime thrillers, but the third, Raise the Titanic, established his iconic style.....a blend of high adventure and high technology involving villains, sunken treasure, and beautiful women.

Cussler writes in the style like fellow authors, Michael Crichton, creating techno - thrillers that do not depend on any certain settings with great spectacular and outlandish plot devices. He has had more than seventeen titles on the New York Times fiction best seller list.

The only problem is that the experiment goes away and leads to possible serious effe......more

Just like the last Clive Cussler book I read, the action was thrilling and the story was exciting, but some profanities and crude allusions muddled things a bit.......more

Goodreads review by Jordan on December 09, 2020

I wrote the almost exact same thing about the last Cussler novel I recently finished but I think it’s probably the best description of this book (and basically all of the NUMA and Dirk Pitt books). And here it is: White Death is pretty typical Cussler fare in that it’a formulaic as hell. Something of......more

Goodreads review by Gerold on January 29, 2010

A multinational company is secretly creating genetic freaks of nature - for their own financial gain obviously. Nobody really knows what is going on behind closed doors but when the local fishermen start reporting that the fish are disappearing the environmentalists try to stop them. In between thes......more
