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.
Justin Scott is the author of thirty-one novels,
including The Shipkiller and Normandie Triangle; the
Ben Abbott detective series; six thrillers under his pen name Paul
Garrison; and his coauthorship with Cussler of The
Wrecker, The Spy, The Race, The Thief, The
Striker, The Bootlegger, The Assassin,The
Gangster, and The Cutthroat. Scott lives in Connecticut.
