Publisher's summary

The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of The Navigator, Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos's fast-moving action adventure from the NUMA Files novels. Read by the award winning narrator Scott Brick.

Years ago, an ancient Phoenician statue known as the Navigator was stolen from the Baghdad museum, and there are men who would do anything to get their hands on it. Their first victim is a crooked antiquities dealer, murdered in cold blood. Their second, very nearly, is a UN investigator who, were it not for the timely assistance of Kurt Austin and Zavala, would now be at the bottom of a watery grave. What's so special about this statue? Austin wonders. The search for answers will take the NUMA team on an astonishing odyssey through time and space, one that encompasses no less than the lost treasures of King Solomon, a mysterious packet of documents personally encoded by Thomas Jefferson, and a top-secret scientific project that could change the world forever. And that's before the surprises really begin....

Critic reviews

"Clive Cussler's forensic skill as a researcher has brought him an enviable reputation and he adds to that quality a gift for a page turning story that few can match." ( Daily Mail)

Good break into the Numa Files

This is my first taste of the Numa files after reading the Dirk Pitt series. Same flare and excitement but you can listen to these stories around the kids.. The stories are believable and not too far fetched. The violence and language is enough to give it an edge but not gratuitous. The story moves with a solid pace and has you asking what is history and what came from the imagination but with plot twists enough to keep you more than interested.
