| #6 The 1st movie from one of his books "Raise the Titanic" was much better. Richard Jordan as Dirk Pitt. Recently he has been using co-authors. I've read most of them. Always a good read. RIP |

| #5 Prolific writer. I grabbed one of his books because I needed a book, forget its name. *looks it up* Pharaoh's Secret - read it in one sitting. Most people have only heard of the movie. I think it gets a bum rap - how do you capture the over the top action and passion Cussler put into his stories with a movie? The title screen montage is a total tribute to the Cussler style. |
