Craig Dirgo Books In Order

The Einstein Papers

When Craig Dirgo teamed up with grandmaster of adventure Clive Cussler, the result was the sensational 1 bestseller The Sea Hunters. Their next blockbuster was the New York Times bestseller, Clive Cussler and Dirk Pitt Revealed. Now, Dirgo makes his fiction debut with this brilliantly conceived tale that buries the atomic age and spawns a new superweapon as earth shattering as it is ingenious. Albert Einstein referred to it as the Unified Field Theory. It was his obsession, more important than Relativity and more difficult to prove. But on August 2, 1945, he did just that. Days later, the bombs dropped. Einstein knew what would happen if his Unified Field Theory was combined with his Theory of Relativity and the consequences were too horrifying to contemplate. In despair, the physicist decided that the Unified Field Theory must never be shared. He would carry this secret to the grave. And for half a century, the devastating truth remained buried. Until now. Sometimes John Taft wished the world was as simple as it had been in the 1940s. Yet the last days of the millennium proved to be a very different place. Allegiances changed daily, and an antiterrorist operative like Taft had to do everything he could to keep his sights on the correct targets. Even if he was one of the best. But nothing has prepared Taft for his next assignment. While unnatural disasters threaten the world’s oil supplies and the Middle East teeters on the brink of war, the Chinese have made a chilling discovery. Somehow, they have unearthed the dormant formula devised by the 20th century’s most brilliant mind. On the eve of the People’s Republic’s 50th anniversary, the imperialistic nation is on the threshold of unraveling the mystery of Einstein’s fabled Unified Field Theory, and will soon possess a weapon more devastating than any nuclear arsenal. And unless something is done very soon, what’s left of the United States will be on the bottom rung of a new world order. Worldwide in its scope, frightening in its impact, and thrilling to the last page, The Einstein Papers marks the fiction debut of Craig Dirgo, a writer with many weapons at his command: the realism of Clancy, the slam bang action of Cussler, and the lightning talent to deliver an epic thriller that is all his own. The Einstein Papers will blow you away.

Atlantis Found (By:Clive Cussler)

Long hailed as the grand master of adventure fiction, Clive Cussler has continued to astound with the intricate plotting and astonishing set pieces of his novels. Now, with a surprising twist, he gives us his most audacious work yet. In the final pages of Valhalla Rising, Dirk Pitt discovered, to his shock, that he had two grown children he had never known twenty three year old fraternal twins born to a woman he thought had died in an underwater earthquake. Both have inherited his love of the sea: the girl, Summer, is a marine biologist; the boy, himself named Dirk, is a marine engineer. And now they are about to help their father in the adventure of a lifetime. There is a brown tide infesting the ocean off the shore of Nicaragua. The twins are working in a NUMAr underwater enclosure, trying to determine its origin, when two startling things happen: Summer discovers an artifact, something strange and beautiful and ancient; and the worst storm in years boils up out of the sky, heading straight not only for them but also for a luxurious floating resort hotel square in its path. The peril for everybody concerned is incalculable, and, desperately, Pitt, Al Giordino, and the rest of the NUMAr crew rush to the rescue, but what they find in the storm’s wake makes the furies of nature pale in comparison. For there is an all too human evil at work in that part of the world, and the brown tide is only a by product of its plan. Soon, its work will be complete and the world will be a very different place. Though if Summer’s discovery is to be believed, the world is already a very different place…
Filled with breathtaking action and suspense, Trojan Odyssey is Cussler at the height of his storytelling powers.

Black Wind (By:Clive Cussler,Dirk Cussler)

Black Wind continued Dirk Pitt’s meteoric career with one of Clive Cussler’s most audacious, and well received, novels yet: ‘Black Wind more than maintains the supercharged Cusslerian danger’ Kirkus Reviews. ‘Thriller fans will revel in this action packed yarn’ Publishers Weekly. But now Cussler takes an extraordinary leap, with one of his most remarkable villains ever. Genghis Khan the greatest conqueror of all time, who, at his peak, ruled an empire that stretched from the Pacific Ocean to the Caspian Sea. His conquests are the stuff of legend, his tomb a forgotten mystery. Until now. When Dirk Pitt is nearly killed rescuing an oil survey team from a freak wave on Russia’s Lake Baikal, it appears a simple act of nature. When the survey team is abducted and Pitt’s research vessel nearly sunk, however, it’s obvious there’s something more sinister involved. All trails lead to Mongolia, and a mysterious mogul who is conducting covert deals for supplying oil to the Chinese while wreaking havoc on global oil markets utilizing a secret technology. The Mongolian harbors a dream of restoring the conquests of his ancestors, and holds a dark secret about Genghis Khan that just might give him the wealth and power to make that dream come true. From the frigid lakes of Siberia to the hot sands of the Gobi Desert, Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino find intrigue, adventure, and peril while collecting clues to the mysterious treasure of Xanadu. But first, they must keep the tycoon from murder and the unleashing of a natural disaster of calamitous proportions. Filled with breathtaking suspense and brilliant imagination, his new novel is yet further proof that when it comes to adventure writing, nobody beats Clive Cussler.

Crescent Dawn (By:Clive Cussler,Dirk Cussler)

Dirk Pitt returns in the extraordinary new novel from the 1 New York Times bestselling author. In A.D. 327, a Roman galley barely escapes a pirate attack with its extraordinary cargo.

Does anything tie them together? NUMA director Dirk Pitt is about to find out, as Roman artifacts discovered in Turkey and Israel unnervingly connect to the rise of a fundamentalist movement determined to restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire, and to the existence of a mysterious ‘manifest,’ lost long ago, which if discovered again…
just may change the history of the world as we know it.

The Sea Hunters

Clive Cussler is acclaimed worldwide as the Grandmaster of Adventure, and his series of novels starring his action hero Dirk Pitt now have over 70,000,000 copies in print. Whether it’s deep sea diving, climbing mountains, or driving classic automobiles, adventure is at the heart of Cussler’s life. As Cussler himself writes, ‘Providing my readers adventure tales based around a devil may care character by the name of Dirk Pitt is only one chapter of my existence. I’m addicted to the challenge of the search, whether it’s for lost ship wrecks, airplanes, steam locomotives, or people.’ In The Sea Hunters, his first nonfiction book, Cussler explores the special world of undersea adventure that inspired and has its fictional parallel in the Dirk Pitt novels. He describes his lifelong love for the sea and ships, and how his involvement with the search for John Paul Jones’s famous Revolutionary War ship, the Bonhomme Richard, led to his establishing the NUMA National Underwater and Marine Agency Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the discovery and preservation of historic shipwrecks. From the more than sixty shipwrecks Cussler and his NUMA volunteers have found, 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 that were encountered while trying to find the sunken wreck. With the same wonderful storytelling that Cussler brings to his novels, he describes his searches for such ships as the Union 24 gun frigate Cumberland, sunk during the Civil War by the Confederate ironclad CSS Virginia formerly the Merrimack; the Confederate Hunley, which became the first submarine in history to sink a warship; the U 21, a German U boat, which during World War I became the first sub to sink a warship and escape; and the American troop transport Leopoldville, which was destroyed by a German submarine on Christmas Eve, 1944, with huge loss of life; as well as Engine 51, the lost locomotive of Kiowa Creek, which roared off a storm weakened high bridge in 1878. The wrecks date as far back as 1840 and span the continental United States, the Atlantic Ocean, and the North Sea. As he does in the Dirk Pitt novels, Cussler opens each story with a creative dramatization 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 so often necessary to find a long lost ship. For example, he describes the tragic fate of the steamboat Lexington, which burst into flames in the frigid winter of 1840, causing the loss of over 150 lives but sparing Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, who missed the trip only because he arrived at the dock seconds too late. There’s also the odd fate of the steamboat Charleston, which became the warship Zavala and which was so horribly damaged in a terrible Atlantic storm in 1842 that it was abandoned in a Galveston, Texas, marsh, and slowly sank from view. In tracing its location, Clive Cussler finally found it under a parking lot! Dramatic, compelling, and personal, Clive Cussler’s The Sea Hunters is as exciting and satisfy ing as the best of his Dirk Pitt novels.

The Sea Hunters II

For twenty three years, Clive Cussler’s NUMA&reg the National Underwater & Marine Agency has scoured the rivers and seas in search of lost ships of historic significance. His teams have been inundated by tidal waves, and beset by the vagaries of man and nature, but the results and the stories behind them have often been dramatic: The 2000 raising of the Confederate submarine Hunley made national headlines.

Here, then, are more true tales of sea and land going adventures, as Cussler and his crews set out to track down history. The famous ghost ship Mary Celeste, found floating off the Azores in 1872 with no one on board; the Carpathia, the ship that rescued the Titanic survivors and was itself lost to U boats six years later; L’Oiseau Blanc, the airplane that almost beat The Spirit of St. Louis across the Atlantic before disappearing in the Maine woods all these, plus steamboats, ironclads, a seventeenth century flagship, a certain famous PT boat, and even a dirigible, prove tantalizing targets as Cussler demonstrates again that truth can be ‘at least as fun, and sometimes stranger, than fiction’ Men’s Journal.
