Terror’s Sword named a Clive Cussler International Adventure Writers Semi-Finalist
Terror’s Sword – the debut novel in the Kyle McEwan series of terrorism thrillers — has been named a Semi-finalist in the highly respected Adventure Writers Competition for 2022. The AWC is recognized as the only pure adventure writing competition available to authors today. It started as a competition on the Simon & Schuster forum for fans of Clive Cussler, known widely as the “Grandmaster of Adventure”. Today, the Clive Cussler Collectors Society co-sponsors the competition, which is open worldwide to new novelists and professionals, one of whom may someday become the next Grandmaster of Adventure. To be considered, novels had to be an original story and characters could not contain any references to Clive Cussler characters or storylines.
