Publisher's summary

The dazzling new novel in the number-one New York Times best-selling series from Clive Cussler, the grand master of adventure.

When Kurt Austin is injured attempting to rescue the passengers and crew from a sinking yacht, he wakes with fragmented and conflicted memories. Did he see an old friend and her children drown? Or was the yacht abandoned when he came aboard? For reasons he cannot explain, Kurt doesn't trust either version of his recollection.

Determined to know the truth, he begins to search for answers, and soon finds himself descending into a shadowy world of state-sponsored cybercrime, and uncovering a pattern of vanishing scientists, suspicious accidents, and a web of human trafficking. With the help of Joe Zavala, he takes on the sinister organization at the heart of this web, facing off with them in locations ranging from Monaco to North Korea to the rugged coasts of Madagascar. But where he will ultimately end up - even he could not begin to guess.

Critic reviews

"Electrifying.... Cussler delivers all the usual twists and turns on the way to an explosive climax." (Publishers Weekly)

Good book

I always enjoy Clive Cussler's books. Kurt's character head gotten emotionally stale, and though he seems to be developing in that regard, his story plots now seem somewhat predictable.
Scott Brick's narration is superb as always, though he doesn't have a voice for children's characters, unfortunately.

Numa

Excellent story line have enjoyed this series. Listen to this was very relaxing especially while driving. Speaker was very good too.

A Little Hard to Follow, but worth the wait

What was one of the most memorable moments of Ghost Ship?

Calista's meeting with Kurt in the stateroom on D'Costa's yacht. Couldn't figure out how that one would turn out til the last second.

What about Scott Brick’s performance did you like?

Everything! Scott's the man. Great dialects and mood creation.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

You saw it. Or did you?

Any additional comments?

Creative twist for the NUMA crew. Some of the history of the ship got a little tedious, but hey.. it's Clive! And that's Clive's love! Plot was interesting, and tied together very well at the end.

Always a good time!!

I love the series because I always learn something new reading these! However, I wish Scott Brick wouldn't use his animosity tone so much. I really don't think it is necessary for all conversation with evil geniuses or rivals.

Another excellent Cussler book.

This is just as enjoyable as all the others . I love these books. This one was very good.

Im a sucker for Cussler

I love the way cussler writes and have for years, is this one of his best books, no, but its a good book. much better book than a lot of other books out there. A cussler book is like coming home to friends.

Marathon Story

Once the narrator began, it became a marathon, couldn’t stop listening, story. Clive Cussler and Graham Brown wrote a very well timed story, even the funny moments had good comedic timing. All the elements, just flowed from one adventure, research, etc. to the next. And that’s how “Ghost Ship” became a fun marathon read.

the NUMA crew are back

Cussler has Austin and company running around the oceans of the world looking for answers in this latest NUMA story.
