Publisher's summary

NUMA crew leaders Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala must beat the clock to stop the world's most dazzling new technological advance from becoming mankind's last in this action-packed thriller from the New York Times best-selling grand master of adventure.

When the most advanced aircraft ever designed vanishes over the South Pacific, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are drawn into a deadly contest to locate the fallen machine. Russia and China covet the radical technology, but the United States worries about a darker problem. They know what others don't - that the X-37 is carrying a dangerous secret, a payload of exotic matter extracted from the upper reaches of the atmosphere and stored at a temperature near absolute zero. As long as it remains frozen, the cargo is inert, but if it thaws, it will unleash a catastrophe of nearly unthinkable proportions.

From the Galapagos Islands to the jungles of South America to an icy mountain lake many believe to be the birthplace of the Inca, the entire NUMA team will risk everything in an effort to avert disaster...but they may be caught in a race that no one can win.

Great Book

I love listening to one of Clive's books while working. Great storyline, characters are well done. The only thing that I wish is that I would love to have known what island they washed up on.

Great Story made better by a talented delivery!

As always the author paints his story with words. The reader brings those words to life. So well done take care if you listen while driving. It would be hard to explain that you were trying to save the world. Well maybe the judge has been carried away by great audio. I must leave now as yet another Clive Cussler story is calling for me.

Another Good One

Cussler and his co-authors have done it again. Good plot, great set pieces, and just enough believabily. Good narration seals the deal.

Good adventure

Good adventure enjoyed it a lot, but a little too much science fiction for me.

Great Listening!

This was one of my more enjoyable experiences with modern stories on Audible. My first but not my last Clive Cussler story. This author stands head and shoulders above the modern authors I have tried. Good storyline, believable characters, great plot twists, and action that keeps you listening all go together to make Cussler an author who truly delivers. With today's low standards I was particularly impressed by the total absence of foulness or crudeness, which only validate my belief that good authors are above those things.

One Off The Best

This audio book was an interesting story. It reminded me a lot of the James Bond Movie, "From Russia With Love." You had. the Superpowers involved, along with a private bad guy manipulating all sides...and the fate of the world was on the line. Scott, the narrator, should be an actor. He does a good job with all the characters.
