Annotation:
Clive Cussler continues his bestselling Oregon Files series with PLAGUE SHIP. Captain Juan Cabrillo must head off a terrorist organization that is posing as a humanitarian group. The group is planning a massive attack using a centuries old virus found aboard what some believe to have been Noah's Ark. It's up to Abrillo and his crack team to catch them before they succeed with their evil plan.
| Author Bio| Clive Cussler | | Born in Aurora, Illinois, Cussler grew up mainly in California where he attended Pasadena City College before joining the Air Force during the Korean War. Serving as an aircraft mechanic and flight engineer, Cussler eventually left the service to work in advertising as a copywriter, moving on to become creative director of some of the country's most prestigious agencies. Cussler didn't begin writing novels until he was 34, and it wasn't until eight years later in 1973 that he published a novel featuring Dirk Pitt, the hero he is most famous for creating. Since then, Cussler has gone on to write a long list of best-selling adventure novels, which have been translated into 40 languages and have been sold in over 135 countries. He has served as chairman of the National Underwater & Marine Agency, and as a fellow in the Explorers Club of New York, the Royal Geographic Society in London, and the American Society of Oceanographers. Cussler is married to Barbara Knight, with whom he has had three children. He spends much of his time on his favorite hobby, tending to his sizable collection of rare and classic cars. |
