Somehow it’s harder to imagine authors dying off than actors or rock stars. Every 4th or 5th book I read is one of Clive’s. If you’ve never had the pleasure I would highly recommend any of the Dirk Pit novels. Guy is like James Bond combined With McGuyver but more relatable/accessible/believable than either.

At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...

    I read every of Clive's books I can get my hands on. I especially like his early work. Man, that guy lived a life of ocean exploration and he had a astounding collection of autos.

    Damn, RIP Clive. My wife actually introduced me to his writing. Bet there’s at least 5-8 of his books on the shelf right now.

    I actually have 12 (yes, 12) copies of Sahara. Every time I see a copy at the used bookstore I forget that I currently own it and grab another. My wife says I'm an idiot.

    RIP Clive. I've read everything he's written and I have two books of his right now from the library. I wonder i f his son Dirk will get the car collection.

    He's been on my list of "need to read" for a while now. I've only heard great things.
