Order of Clive Cussler Books
Clive Cussler was an American adventure novelist who was best known for his Dirk Pitt novels. Cussler has appeared on the New York Times Bestseller List numerous times (and counting). He was also a marine archaeologist, which comes in handy because his novels often deal with shipwrecks.
Clive Cussler passed away on February 24th, 2020.
Aside from the Dirk Pitt series, Cussler’s other series include The NUMA Files, The Oregon Files, Isaac Bell and Fargo Adventures. Cussler has also authored four non-fiction books (two involving Dirk Pitt and two on famous shipwrecks) and two children’s books. Cussler often wrote alongside a co-author for most of his series other than the Dirk Pitt series. Even his most recent Dirk Pitt novels are co-authored by his son (and namesake of Pitt’s) Dirk Cussler. Below is the order in which Clive Cussler’s novels were published:
