Clive Cussler fans, take notice! If you don't yet know the name Jack Du Brul, you certainly should. The budding young action/adventure star's debut novel, Vulcan's Forge -- which features the charismatic, hard-drinking, Dirk Pitt-like geologist Philip Mercer -- was published last year to tremendous praise. Now, Du Brul returns with Charon's Landing , his second inventive, high-flying Mercer adventure. Check out our interview below
Clive Cussler on Charon's Landing
Dear Jack,
Have read Charon s Landing. You re a helluva writer. You certainly turn a phrase better than I do. Your attention to detail and your research boggles the mind. The technology you come up with is on a par if not superior to Clancy. I consider it a privilege to have your work compared favorably with mine in your reviews. You re coming along at a good time and I m honored to give a quote for Charon s Landing:
Jack Du Brul has to be the finest adventure writer on the scene today. Romance, violence, technology are superbly blended by a master story-teller in Charon s Landing. Du Brul creates a fast-moving odyssey that is second to none.
You ve got the gift, Jack. You launch the story and slowly begin to tighten the tension. I predict your break-through book, your big bestseller, is just around the corner.
--Clive Cussler
