Everywhere, waters are rising--and that is just the beginning of the
world's peril, unless the NUMA crew can beat the clock in this thrilling
novel from the #1 New York Times-bestselling grand master of
adventure.
An alarming rise in the world's sea levels--much larger than could be
accounted for by glacier melt--sends Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala, and the
rest of the NUMA scientific team rocketing around the globe in search of
answers. What they find at the bottom of the East China Sea, however, is
even worse than they imagined: a diabolical plan to upset the Pacific
balance of power--and in the process displace as many as a billion
people.
A rare alloy unlike anything else on earth, a pair of
five-hundred-year-old Japanese talismans, an assassin so violent even
the Yakuza has disowned him, an audacious technological breakthrough
that will become a very personal nightmare for Kurt Austin--from the
shark-filled waters of Asia to the high-tech streets of Tokyo to a
forbidden secret island, the NUMA team must risk everything to head off
the coming catastrophe.
