Personal Quote:

On the screen adaptation of his book, Sahara: "I don't know whose book they think they're adapting but it sure isn't mine. I can't approve what they're doing. I've thrown away all the scripts they've sent me - seven or eight so far - and told them to go back and follow the book. But they refuse. They insist on doing it their way." See more »

Trivia:

Began handing the reigns of his Dirk Pitt franchise over to his son, Dirk Cussler, with the 2004 novel "Dark Wind." Father and son co-authored the book (which focuses on Pitt's son Dirk Pitt Jr.) and also collaborated on the next in the series, "Treasure of Khan" (2006). See more »
