Clive Cussler is the author or coauthor of more than seventy
previous books in five best-selling series, including Dirk Pitt,
NUMA Files, Oregon Files, Isaac Bell, and Sam and Remi 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.
Graham Brown is the author of Black Rain and Black Sun, and
the coauthor with Cussler of Devil's Gate, The Storm, Zero Hour,
Ghost Ship, The Pharaoh's Secret, and Nighthawk. He is pilot and an
attorney.
"The villain is diabolical, our heroes seem to have no way to win,
and the action is relentless. In other words, the story is classic
Cussler. The thought of the world running out of oil is terrifying,
and that along with the wonderful cast of characters makes this one
of the better entries in the NUMA Files series."--Associated Press
"Fast-paced, imaginative fun. May Kurt and crew survive, as there's
a good series to continue."--Kirkus Reviews
"Female villains of the evil-genius type are few and far between in
the high-concept-adventure subgenre, and it's refreshing to find
one here. . . Cussler's devoted readership will find this among the
better entries in the series."--Booklist "Solid. . . Cussler fans
know who will win in the end, but it's always fun to watch the NUMA
guys and gals implementing their clever plans."--Publishers Weekly
