One you would appreciate

I had given up on reading Clive Cussler, I was enamored with his books. They were okay but not the best thing I have ever read. I needed a book and was at the grocery store and a Clive book was the only thing available I was willing to read. So the book is called The Navigator and shortly into it I run across a paragraph that says Vice president Sandecker and NUMA director Pitt. What? I have never heard of this, when did this happen? I thought right away that it would have called you to find out what book that happened in. Love ya guy.
