Planet Earth is a paradox a lush, fertile world three-quarters-covered by water, yet in danger of running dry. Fresh water is disappearing from overuse and pollution and the only hope lies in desalination, a process to convert salt water into fresh.

Francesca Carval is a brilliant scientist whose newest discovery will save the human race. She has perfected the process of desalination, and is flying to a conference in Rio to announce it to the world. Then a group of terrorists attempts to hijack her plane which crashes in the Venezuelan jungle. Francesca is taken in and protected by a native tribe : she is not heard from again.

Ten years later, Kurt Austin and his NUMA team come across the mysterious death of a pod of grey whales off the coast of California. The path leads Austin to the heart of South America where he discovers Francesca, the 'white goddess' of the jungle, living among the tribe that took her in. At the same time Austin stumbles upon a group that aims to control the world's fresh water supply, and which will kill anyone who stands in its way.

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.
