“NOBODY DOES IT BETTER
THAN CLIVE CUSSLER.
NOBODY
.”
—Stephen Coonts
The Sea Hunters II is...
“Fascinating.”
—The Associated Press
“Thrilling.”
—Library Journal
“Genuinely illuminating.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“As with the first
Sea Hunters,
Cussler brings history alive
with the same deft storytelling touch he has used in a popular, long-running series of adventure novels featuring Superman-of-the-seas Dirk Pitt.”
—Fort Worth Star-Telegram
REAL ADVENTURES.
REAL GLORY.
For nearly twenty-five years, the real-life NUMA, Clive Cussler’s National Underwater & Marine Agency, has scoured rivers and seas in search of lost ships of historic significance—such as the Confederate submarine
Hunley
, which they raised in 2000.
In this second volume of true stories, Cussler and colleague Craig Dirgo target the famous ghost ship
Mary Celeste;
the
Carpathia,
the ship that rescued the
Titanic
survivors only to be 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—plus steamboats, ironclads, a seventeenth-century flagship, a certain famous PT boat, and even a dirigible—to prove once again that truth can be “at least as fun as, and sometimes stranger than, fiction” (
Men’s Journal
).
“Cussler’s artful writing style and varied experiences while searching for historical treasures make this a first-rate adventure book.”
—Publishers Weekly
“FASCINATINGLY TOLD.”
—Kirkus Reviews
