Synopsis

Dirk Pitt returns, in the thrilling new novel from the grand master of adventure and #1 New York Times bestselling author.
While investigating a toxic outbreak in the Caribbean Sea that may ultimately threaten the United States, Pitt unwittingly becomes involved in something even more dangerous a post-Castro power struggle for the control of Cuba. Meanwhile, Pitt s children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, are on an investigation of their own, chasing an Aztec stone that may reveal the whereabouts of a vast historical Aztec treasure. The problem is, that stone was believed to have been destroyed on the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898, which brings them both to Cuba as well and squarely into harm s way. The three of them have been in desperate situations before . . . but perhaps never quite as dire as the one facing them now."

From the Back Cover:

THE CARIBBEAN

Something is happening in the coastal waters off Cuba. Toxic mercury plumes are killing wildlife and fishermen are mysteriously vanishing.

But what is behind it?

When NUMA launches an investigation, they find mysterious holes in the seabed. Someone or something is drilling into the crust - and they don't care what or whom they harm.

And the Caribbean is a really big place to hide what you're up to.

But if anyone can find out who's behind this, what they want and put a stop to it, it's the man in charge of NUMA - DIRK PITT.
