Publisher's summary

Kurt Austin must find a vanished ship and stave off a global catastrophe in the latest novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series created by the “grand master of adventure” Clive Cussler.

A freighter carrying top-secret computers of unparalleled capability disappears in the Western Pacific. While searching for a lost treasure that once belonged to the famous Chinese pirate queen, Ching Shih, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are redirected to look for the missing vessel.

Discovering that the sinking of the ship is just part of an intricate web of deception, they find themselves in the middle of a cyber-war between rival groups of hackers, both of whom want to control the flow of data around the world.

With no allies except a group of pirates who operate under their own crude laws, Kurt and Joe must rescue a colleague held hostage—while keeping the computers out of Russian or Chinese hands and the world’s digital information safe from the hackers.

Critic reviews

"A ton of heart-stopping excitement and almost non-stop action from start to finish"—Fresh Fiction

"Another thrill ride...You will not want to put this down."—Red Carpet Crash

A worthy succesor!

This was a great book! Graham Brown did a very nice job of capturing what made Clive Cussler books so beloved. I hope the upcoming Oregon Files book due this Fall is as good.

Thank you Graham Brown

So happy to have the Cussler characters continue! Great story, so happy to have to have new stories to listen to.
As always, Scott Brick ROCKS!

Like the original Clive Cussler stories and just as entertaining!

This book uses the same a story pattern as all the Dirk Pitt novels and although the pattern is predictable, this story is very creative, informative and entertaining with well developed characters that you love or despise. Felt like a genuine book authored by Clive Cussler

Great story

Great stories author lots of action, like being able to listen in car home or gardening

Another Great Adventure!

This one is a typical Clive Cussler story with lots of twists and turns. Great listen!

The Usual

As with so many other popular writers, and this after his death, Cussler's heroes once again foil amazing villains and save the world. Of course, we all know at the start there's the little piece of 'ancient history', then the switch to modern times and one of several sets of Cussler heroes. We know, like James Bond and Hercule Poirot and so many others, that the heroes will be possibly in grave danger, battered and bruised perhaps, but will triumph in the end. Even knowing all that and having read several dozen of Cussler's books, they're still a lot of fun. Scott Brick is the best reader I've ever heard for this type of book.

Another great read!

Another great Clive Cussler NUMA story. Capivating all the way to the end. Enjoyed it.

Yep, they did it again

Just a easy story to listen to Everybody needs to have heroes. These guys always come through.

Another winner!

Great story and characters! As always, Scott Brick does a great job of bringing it to life.

Not my favorite Cussler novel. A little too fantastical and beyond belief for my taste.
