Washington Post: Clive Cussler, best-selling adventure writer who sought real-life thrills, dies at 88

Because I'm not a novel reader, didn't know who he was.  Only because I attended the IPMS Nationals 2013, did I see his awesome car collection.  Some of the cars had the book they were featured in, on display.  I'll post a few shots of my tour:

It's cool seeing the cars in actual pictures, rather than just on the back cover of the book. He wrote the Dirk Pitt adventure series first, and then branched off into a few other series. They are great books, though like a James Bond movie, they do tend to follow the same general formula.

Sorry to hear this, I've read all of his books....read all of Tony Hillerman's also

Marvellous writer. Read many of his books and sad to hear of his passing. Did not know that he had a collection of classic cars though.
