Deep-sea explorer and government operative Kurt Austin must save the
world from a deliberate viral outbreak in this thriller from the #1
New York Times-bestselling author
In the Micronesian islands, a top-secret U.S. government-sponsored
undersea lab conducting vital biomedical research on a rare jellyfish
known as the Blue Medusa suddenly disappears. At the same time, off
Bermuda, a bathysphere is attacked by an underwater vehicle and left
helpless a half-mile below the surface, its passengers--including
Zavala--left to die. Only Kurt Austin's heroic measures save them from a
watery grave, but suspecting a connection, Austin puts the NUMA team on
the case.
Austin's team has no way to prepare for what comes next: a hideous
series of medical experiments, an extraordinarily ambitious Chinese
criminal organization, and a secret new virus that threatens to set off
a worldwide pandemic. Austin and Zavala have been in tight spots before,
but this time it's not just their own skins they're trying to save--it's
the lives of millions.
Filled with the high-stakes suspense and boundless invention that are
unique to Cussler, Medusa is the most thrilling novel yet from the
grand master of adventure.
