I do believe it!

Recently, I noticed that Clive Cussler's book, Sahara, was going to be made into a film. I love his glamorization of history, and among one of his revelations, was the story of Amelia Earhart's disappearance.

Hope this adaptation is better than Raise the Titanic.

What historical fiction books of recent vintage would you like to see made into a movie?

I want all of the Cussler's to be made into movies. The special effects have finally caught up with his imagination.

Anywho didn't Sahara say it was in Oz?

Craven, I would love to see Night Probe made into a movie, but I'm not certain what you mean by your question about Oz?

I'm not sure but I think Clive's lil' story put Amelia in Oz. Or was it Africa? I can't remember.

I read one - count it - one Clive Cussler book. He had a submarine cruising at 100 knots. That one was too high for me to see over.

Ah, his books are always a stretch, read every single one of them as a kid. But he knows subs, he works with them frequently.

Heh, heh! Craven, this is your last chance to win Cussler's "about to be released in November" book Trojan Odyssey. What is the name of the book about the Sahara desert written by Clive Cussler?

Hey, Rog. Well, my goodness. Give the man a chance. Frankly, I couldn't get through Atlantis Found. Maybe it's because Edgar Cayce found it already. Smile

Sahara? lol

I think Sahara was one that I liked, I also liked the really crazy one about the moon colony.

Hmmmmm. Moon colony...moon colony. Don't remember that one. I do recall Abe Lincoln being in the Sahara on board the Monitor or the Merrimac. Something about his having been kidnapped. What a fertile imagination for such an arid setting. Smile

Yeah, Abe being kidnapped was another stretch. I looked up the moon colony one, it's Cyclops.

Hmm, well the books starts with a dirigible crashing into a beach hotel or somthing and the crew was all dead, and it ends up being about a secret moon colony that is in danger.

I looked it up, too, Craven. but I've read so many books about the lost ship Cyclops, that they all tend to run together. I had every one of Cussler's books, but lost them in the move to Florida.

Shocked It just occurred to me, Craven. You were watching Shirley Temple and reading Cussler on the side? How did you ever get by with that? Imp then--imp now. Razz
