Clive Cussler is the author of more than fifty books in
five bestselling series, including Dirk Pitt, NUMA Files, Oregon
Files, Isaac Bell, and Fargo. His life nearly parallels that of his
hero Dirk Pitt. Whether searching for lost aircraft or leading
expeditions to find famous shipwrecks, he and his NUMA crew of
volunteers have discovered more than seventy-five lost ships of
historic significance, including the long-lost Confederate
submarine Hunley, which was raised in 2000 with much press
publicity. Like Pitt, Cussler collects classic automobiles. His
collection features more than eighty examples of custom coachwork.
Cussler lives in Arizona and Colorado.
Jack Du Brul is the author of the Philip Mercer series, most
recently Havoc, and is the coauthor with Cussler of the Oregon
Files novels Dark Watch, Skeleton Coast, Plague Ship, and Corsair.
He lives in Vermont.
A sunken treasure in a remote Washington State pit...a Chinese takeover of part of Antarctica...a shoot-out aboard a Mississippi casino steamboat. Where else could all this take place but in a Cussler novel? This seventh "Oregon Files" adventure, following Corsair-the Books on Tape/Penguin Audio edition of which received a starred review, LJ 8/09-brings back Juan Cabrillo and his band of supersleuths, who are this time trying to keep a vicious group of Argentine soldiers from establishing a foothold on the frozen continent with the help of their Chinese friends. Audie Award winner Scott Brick (see Behind the Mike, LJ 10/15/09) sustains just the right tone throughout this enjoyable mix of humor and nail-biting suspense. Recommended.
