#1 New York Times bestselling author Clive Cussler delivers another
swashbuckling NUMA adventure featuring a financier turned treasure
hunter who vanishes mysteriously--and only Dirk Pitt can prevent an
international incident that threatens to start a war.
A wealthy American financier disappears on a treasure hunt in an antique
blimp. From Cuban waters, the blimp drifts toward Florida with a crew of
dead men--Soviet cosmonauts. Dirk Pitt discovers a shocking scheme: a
covert group of US industrialists has put a colony on the moon, a secret
base they will defend at any cost. Threatened in space, the Russians are
about to strike a savage blow in Cuba--and only NUMA's Dirk Pitt can
stop them. From a Cuban torture chamber to the cold ocean depths, Pitt
is racing to defuse an international conspiracy that threatens to
shatter the earth!
