The sea hunters - Clive Cussler

Whether it's deep sea diving, climbing mountains or driving classic automobiles, adventure is at the heart of Clive Cussler's life.

In The Sea Hunters, Cussler explores the special world of undersea adventure that inspired the Dirk Pitt novels. From more than sixty shipwrecks Cussler and his NUMA volunteers have unearthed, he has chosen the twelve most interesting - whether because of the ship's history, the circumstances of its sinking, or the trouble, frustration and peril encountered while trying to find the ship.

Cussler opens each story with a creative dramatisation of the ship and the way she met her end, then brings the story into the present as he describes the immense research and careful preparation necessary to find a lost ship after decades or centuries.

Dramatic, compelling and wholly personal, The Sea Hunters is as exciting and gripping a read as the best of the Dirk Pitt novels.
