Description
Deep beneath the Eastern Atlantic Ocean lies an extraordinary underwater burial ground of ships and planes . . .
Nearby, a Japanese cargo ship blows up without warning. Racing to help, Kurt Austin and the NUMA team are beaten to the scene by heavily armed pirates. But when the ruthless gang's own boat explodes as they're making their escape, the men from NUMA are suddenly plunged from a disaster into a mystery.
Soon they uncover a scheme involving the deadly ambitions of an African dictator, the creation of a weapon of terrible power, a kidnapped CERN scientist and a deep-water graveyard holding a lost aircraft and its precious cargo.
As a terrifying and audacious plan to bring the world's major nations to their knees is set in motion, only Kurt Austin - the right man, in the right place, at the right time - can stop it . . .
With Devil's Gate, number one bestseller Clive Cussler shows us once more why he is the grand master of adventure fiction. In this ninth book in his bestselling NUMA Files series, Kurt Austin, hero of previous titles Medusa and The Navigator, must avert a disaster of global proportions.

Persons
Clive Cussler was the author of more than eighty books in five bestselling series, including Dirk Pitt (R), NUMA Files (R), Oregon Files (R), Isaac Bell (R), and Sam and Remi Fargo (R). His life nearly paralleled that of his hero Dirk Pitt. Whether searching for lost aircraft or leading expeditions to find famous shipwrecks, he and his NUMA crew of volunteers discovered and surveyed more than seventy-five lost ships of historic significance, including the long-lost Civil War submarine Hunley, which was raised in 2000 with much publicity. Like Pitt, Cussler collected classic automobiles. His collection featured more than one hundred examples of custom coachwork. Cussler passed away in February 2020. Graham Brown is the author of Black Rain and The Eden Prophecy, and co-author of books in Clive Cussler's bestselling NUMA Files (R) series. A pilot and an attorney, he lives in Arizona.
