This bestselling adventure novelist passed away today at the age of 88.  I have read many of his books over the years, all full of intrigue, suspense, and hard to put down page turners.  Sometimes called The Grandmaster of Adventure, Clive  Cussler has a new novel, “Journey of the Pharaohs,” set to be released March 10, with several more awaiting what will now be posthumous publication.   He founded his own National Underwater and Marine Agency and participated in dozens of searches for old ships, including one that turned up a steamship belonging to Cornelius Vanderbilt.
