NUMA operative Kurt Austin takes on a madman fronting as an
evironmentalist in this #1 New York Times-bestselling series.
Sixty years ago, an eccentric Hungarian genius discovered how to
artificially trigger such a shift in the polar ice caps, which could
cause massive eruptions, earthquaks, and even climate changes. But then
his work disappeared, or so it was thought. Now, the charismatic leader
of an antiglobalization group plans to use it to give the world's
industrialized nations a small jolt, before reversing the shift back
again. The only problem is, it cannot be reversed. Once it starts,
there is nothing anyone can do.
Austin, Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA Special Assignments Team must
make strange alliances to protect this technology from being exploited
by their new and power-hungry nemesis before the entire planet is made
to pay.
Rich with all the hair-raising action and endless imagination that have
become Cussler's hallmarks, Polar Shift is a wonderful
thriller--indeed, "vintage Cussler."
