RIP Clive. Grew up reading Brad Pitt novels. Helped get me interested in Doxa and dive watches.

Sucks. Reading my first Dirk Pitt novel in 1983 introduced me to the Doxa dive watch. I’m bummed.

Good summer vacation reads. And got me into Doxa which, on balance, was not a bad thing.

That's very sad news. I've read all his books and Pitt's Doxa started me out collecting watches.

Sad news for sure. There was a period of time where I couldn't wait for a new Cussler book release. Seems that between the several series, one came out every month or so.
