I&rsquo;ve read every novel in his Dirk Pitt series. Unfortunately, Clive Cussler passed away in 2020, so I&rsquo;ve started reading one of his other series and plan to tackle them all some day. What strikes me about his work is his ability to weave multiple storylines together into one amazing adventure novel.\n\t\t\t<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"100%\">\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<strong>How can readers connect with you?<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tI enjoy connecting with readers.
