#1 New York Times bestselling author Clive Cussler delivers another
page-turning NUMA adventure featuring an underwater exploration team on
the hunt to discover ancient hidden treasure--before the world as they
know it changes forever.
When Kurt Austin, the leader of a courageous National Underwater and
Marine Agency exploration team, rescues beautiful marine archaeologist
Nina Kirov off the cost of Morocco, he becomes the next target of Texas
industrialist Don Halcon. A madman bent on carving a new nation out of
the southwestern United States and Mexico, Halcon's scheme hinges on
Nina's recent discovery involving Christopher Columbus and a priceless
pre-Columbian antiquity buried in the battered remains of the sunken
Italian luxury line Andrea Doria. Only Kurt Austin and his NUMA team
stand between Halcon and the Andrea Doria's silent steel hull--and if
their deadly mission fails, Halcon will ride to power on a wave of death
and destruction.
