I wish I could remember my first read and how I was introduced to Clive Cussler, but I can only say what a wonderful imagination and storytelling he had. He drew on his experiences, and always provided accurate information depending on the story of details which gave the story a real sense of truth. I don’t remember if he did it in all of his books, but Clive Cussler did show up in quite a few of his works of art in storytelling, as a character in that story. All these events seem connected and point to a fiendish plot by Halcon. Secrets in the long-distant past hold the key.

So much has been said about this man, but he should be remembered first as a kind and gentle man who took time for anyone who approached him, and second as the creator of the modern adventure novel. His premeire character, Dirk Pitt, has become the standard for the action hero. So many authors have credited Clive with their inspiration for becoming a writer that they are to numerous to mention."
