From the shadow of war comes an enduring historical mystery - and a present-day plot of destruction . . . France, May 1940. As the German army blitzes Europe and Parisians flee their city, the chief curator of the Musee de l'Armee is ordered to take a mysterious piece of cargo out of the country. Arriving at the port of Le Havre, he learns his intended ship has been sunk, and his cargo's uncertain fate now rests on a decrepit steamer, sailing out under German fire. Decades later, a diving expedition in the English Channel leads National Underwater and Marine Agency Director Dirk Pitt to a cache of uncut diamonds on a shipwreck. No sooner than they are discovered, the diamonds are stolen - and Pitt and the NUMA agency find themselves up against a murderous cabal with far more destructive plans than mere theft. Vital water treatment facilities around the globe are being targeted - placing the world's population in grave peril. From the shadow of the Eiffel Tower to the depths of the Irish Sea to the islands of the Caribbean, only Dirk Pitt and his children, Summer and Dirk Jr., can locate the treasure that will preserve the soul of a nation . . . and save the world from catastrophe.

ABOUT AUTHOR CLIVE CUSSLER

Clive Cussler, born on July 15, 1931, in Aurora, Illinois, and raised in Alhambra, California, was a master storyteller and maritime enthusiast. After two years at Pasadena City College, he enlisted in the United States Air Force and served during the Korean War. Post-military service, Cussler's creative talents flourished in the advertising world, where he wrote and edited over 100 radio and television scripts.

Best known for his gripping adventure novels, Cussler introduced readers to the iconic character Dirk Pitt in his first book, "The Mediterranean Caper." Over his illustrious career, he authored more than 85 books, many of which became New York Times bestsellers, with an astounding 125 million copies in print worldwide. His contributions to literature earned him the prestigious Ellis Island Medal of Honor.

Cussler's passion for the sea extended beyond fiction. He co-founded the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving maritime history through the discovery, exploration, and conservation of shipwreck artifacts. His novels have been adapted into successful films, further solidifying his impact on popular culture.

An avid collector of classic automobiles, Cussler's renowned collection featured prominently in several of his novels. Clive Cussler passed away on February 24, 2020, leaving behind a prolific literary legacy and a lasting impact on the world of maritime exploration and adventure fiction.
