The Clive Cussler novels follow a specific and very successful formula.
Each book opens decades or even centuries in the past, describing an historic event - the discovery of a ship locked in an iceberg, the kidnapping of President Lincoln, then fast forwards to the near future, in which the techno-thriller is tied in with those past happenings.
How much of these past events were true, and how much were invented to provide the necessary background for the adventures of Dirk Pitt, Kurt Austin, the crew of the Oregon, and so on?
We discuss it in this blog.
