Description
Deadly experiments. Rogue AI. And A cult with the power to destroy the world.
The NUMA team faces a terrifying swarm of bio-engineered sea creatures in their most explosive adventure yet.
'Cussler is hard to beat' Daily Mail
----
When NUMA's Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala investigate a mass whale stranding in the Indian Ocean, they uncover a heap of trouble.
First, their findings are stolen - someone doesn't want them examining those dead whales. But who, and why?
Next, Kurt and Joe are chasing a mysterious beacon that might provide some answers. That's if their global satellite network hasn't been hacked - which increasingly seems the case.
Soon, Kurt, Joel and a heavily compromised NUMA are racing to stop a plan to devastate the world's ecosystems - the first step in a terrifying scheme to re-make all life on Earth . . .
