Dirk Pitt embarks on an adventure for the generations…

“Continuous action, thrills galore and lots of fun.”

—The Daily Oklahoman

At the end of
Valhalla Rising,
#1
New York Times
bestselling author Clive Cussler shocked the world—and his own protagonist—with 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 sea—and adventure. Now working for NUMA®, their next adventure begins off the shores of Nicaragua…

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 Lizzie—which 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 dangerous—and 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.”

—New York Daily News
