3 total works
Austin, suspecting a connection between the two mysterious events, puts the NUMA team on the case. He has no idea what he has just got them all into - a hideous series of medical experiments . . . an extraordinarily ambitious Chinese criminal organization . . . a secret new virus that threatens to set off a world-wide pandemic. Austin and NUMA have been in tight spots before, but this time it's not just their own skins they're trying to save - it's the lives of millions.
Clive Cussler, author of the best-selling Dirk Pitt novels Crescent Dawn and Treasure of Khan, and co-author Paul Kemprecos place their hero, Kurt Austin, at the centre of a tangled web of conspiracy and ambition in Devil's Gate, the ninth novel of the action-packed NUMA Files series.
Deep beneath the Eastern Atlantic Ocean lies an extraordinary underwater burial ground of ships and planes . . .
When Kurt Austin and the NUMA team set out to rescue a Japanese cargo ship from a gang of ruthless pirates they are immediately plunged into a mystery. For after the pirates scuttle the ship they fought so hard to take, their own corsair suddenly bursts into flames mid-getaway.
As Austin and the team investigate this curious turn of events, 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 . . .
