Product Description
A Mysterious Plague in the Antarctic...A Diamond Empire Run by an Evil Genius...A Devastating New Technology...NUMA agent DIRK PITT® is investigating the baffling deaths of thousands of Antarctic marine animals when he stumbles on something even more chilling. The passengers and crew of a cruise ship all died simultaneously and instantly, leaving stranded on a remote island whaling station a small party of tourists led by the beautiful Maeve Fletcher. And the carnage is just beginning, as Pitt's investigation leads him to Maeve's estranged father and sisters, owners of the global diamond cartel Dorsett Consolidated Mining. From a chilling escape at a high-security Canadian mine to a tiny boat adrift on lonely, shark-infested seas, the ingenious Pitt is racing to thwart Dorsett's ruthless plans -- before an unthinkable disaster claims millions of innocent lives! |
Amazon.com Review
In this explosive Dirk Pitt novel by the author of Inca Gold, Pitt meets the most intriguing and sinister villain of his adventurous and legendary career--a billionaire Australian diamond king with whom he must wage conflict above and below the sea for the survival of vast numbers of sea creatures and more than a million human beings. Only Clive Cussler--the Grandmaster of Adventure--could have written a story this suspenseful. |

Super Clive! by sgun73 (Carmel, IN)  5 Stars
December 29, 2009
Loved it. Action, suspense, thrills, adventure, romance, and intrigue all combine in this lively tale. I think this is my favorite out of the 6 or 7 of his I have read so far. I love it when the good guys win under impossible-to-win scenarios. Fun stuff.

Awesome! by J.R. Turner 5 Stars
January 24, 2009
Totally love Dir Pitt, and this one did not disappoint. I'm a sucker for this sort of plot--the mysterious deaths, the "ghost ship" with one lovely survivor, the evil family--just the stuff I dream of reading about--and it's all here in one book.
If I could give it more than five stars I would. One of those reads that you keep thinking about long after you've finished. It has a place on my keeper shelf now! :)
