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:

If You Like Clive Cussler Books, You’ll Love…
Clive Cussler Synopses: Iceberg, the second Dirk Pitt novel by Clive Cussler, has Dirk hunting down a multi-billionaire with a cargo that could destroy entire countries.
Raise the Titanic! by Clive Cussler is the third book in the Dirk Pitt series. The President’s secret task force has developed an groundbreaking new weapon for defensive purposes that relies on an extremely rare radioactive element – and Dirk Pitt has followed a twisted trail to a secret cache of the substance. Now, racing against fierce storms, Soviet spies, and a ticking clock, Pitt begins his most thrilling mission of all – to raise the Titanic from its watery grave…
Vixen 03 is the fourth book in the Dirk Pitt series by Clive Cussler. It’s 1954 and the plane known as the Vixen 03 has gone down. It was bound for the Pacific carrying 36 Doomsday bombs. Vixen has in fact crashed into an ice-covered lake in Colorado. Fast-forward to 1988, when Dirk Pitt discovers the wreckage of Vixen 03. But two of the canisters are missing. They’re in the hands of a terrorist group. Their deadly mission: to sail a battleship seventy-five miles up the Potomac and destroy Washington, D.C. It’s up to Dirk Pitt to stop them.
Night Probe! by Clive Cussler is the fifth book in the Dirk Pitt series. During an international crisis, Heidi Milligan, an American naval commander, accidentally happens upon an obscure reference to the long-buried North American Treaty, a secret pact between the United States and Great Britain. The President believes that the treaty offers a last chance at salvation for nation low on energy and an economy in the gutter, but the only two copies fell into the watery depths of the Atlantic in twin disasters many years ago. The original document must be located – and the only American who can do it is Dirk Pitt.
But in London, a daring counterplot is playing out to see that the treaty is never implemented. Brian Shaw, a master spy who has often worked alongside with American agents, now confronts his most challenging command. Pitt’s mission: Raise the North American Treaty. Shaw’s mission: Stop Pitt.
What was the name of the Clive cussler book about ther battle of t Bonne Homme Richard John Paul Jones and the Serapis off the coast ngland in the revolutionary war and where I can find it. I am very interested because I made several drawings about the battle sequence that published in his book in the chapter written by Peter Reaveley.
Thank you.
Just found out he died. He will be missed. Great author.
We love Clive Cussler books! Visit his car museum in Arvada!
