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.
Grant Blackwood is the author of the Briggs Tanner
series, as well as the coauthor of #1 New York
Times bestseller Dead or Alive, with Tom Clancy,
and The Kill Switch, with James Rollins. A U.S. Navy
veteran, he spent three years on active duty aboard the guided
missile frigate USS Ford as an Operations Specialist and a Pilot
Rescue Swimmer. He caught the fiction-writing bug at the age of
eighteen while reading Clive Cussler’s The Mediterranean
Caper.
