bestselling author Clive Cussler shocked the worldâand his own protagonistâwith the introduction of Dirk Pitt's children. Born to a woman Dirk thought he had tragically lost more than twenty years ago, the fraternal twins grew up to share his love for the seaâand adventure. Now working for NUMA®, their next adventure begins off the shores of Nicaraguaâ¦
Attempting to uncover the origins of a mysterious brown tide infesting the waters there, his daughter, Summer, a marine biologist, and his son, Dirk, Jr., a marine engineer, are threatened by the ferocious Hurricane Lizzieâwhich is also headed straight for a floating resort hotel. With the rest of the NUMA® crew, Pitt and Al Giordino desperately rush to the rescue. But what they uncover in the wake of the storm is a destructive force far more dangerousâand all too human. The brown tide is only a by-product of a plan that threatens the world as we know it, and it will take two generations of high-seas action heroes to put a stop to it before it's too late.
“The story is an extravaganza, a blur of bravado and close calls above and below the waves.”
