Coming in February, there's a new Cussler book, THE ADVENTURES OF VN FIZ.
Not a NUMA book, it's a children's adventure book, seemingly of the flavor
of CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG.
From the Amazon.com synopsis:
"Ten-year-old twins Lacey and Casey Nicefolk live on a tiny herb farm in
California, wishing they could see the world . . . but how, when times are
so hard? That is where Sucoh Sucop comes in (you may notice his name is
Hocus Pocus spelled backward).The mysterious man leaves the twins a magic
box that can transform any toy into a life-sized reality. Soon Casey and
Lacey, and their faithful hound Floopy, are soaring cross-country through
the sky in the enchanted Vin Fiz, Casey's model of a Wright Brothers
biplane.Yet the ride is not a smooth one. The twins encounter danger after
danger, and must rescue a town held captive by gold-hungry bandits, not to
mention a runaway train full of terrified passengers!"
