From AudioFile:

Clive Cussler's real-life National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA) is devoted to locating lost ships of historic significance. NUMA doesn't salvage any artifacts; instead, it turns over its results to appropriate agencies for further action. In this installment, Cussler continues where he left off in The Sea Hunters, with fascinating tales of his searches for shipwrecks and the frustration and exhilaration accompanying these expeditions. The seasoned Scott Brick maintains the focus on Cussler's story through his low-key reading. Brick conveys Cussler's intensity and enthusiasm in an understated manner. Although Cussler has written many novels, The Sea Hunters II shows that true stories can be as interesting as fiction.
