Publisher's summary

NUMA operative Kurt Austin takes on a madman fronting as an environmentalist in this number-one New York Times best-selling series.

Sixty years ago, an eccentric Hungarian genius discovered how to artificially trigger a shift in the polar ice caps that could cause massive eruptions, earthquakes, and even climate changes. But then his work disappeared, or so it was thought. Now, the charismatic leader of an anti-globalization group plans to use it to give the world’s industrialized nations a small jolt before reversing the shift back again. The only problem is, it cannot be reversed. Once it starts, there is nothing anyone can do.

Austin, Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA Special Assignments Team must make strange alliances to protect this technology from being exploited by their new and power-hungry nemesis before the entire planet is made to pay.

Rich with all the hair-raising action and endless imagination that have become Cussler’s hallmarks, Polar Shift is a wonderful thriller - indeed, “vintage Cussler”.

Please note: This is the abridged version. An unabridged edition is also available.

Disappointed

This book was so disappointing! I love Clive Cussler and I could swear this was not written by him. It was more descriptive than story. I listened to the end, hoping it would improve, not a chance🙄

beware, re-release.

This is an older book that has been released to audio-book. looks like a new book until you get into it and realize something sounds familiar. Also, this version is abridged. Missed that too somehow. why would you abridge an audiobook? Uhgg. Going to see how the unsatisfied credit back deal works now.
