Black Wind
Book 18 of the Dirk Pitt series
In the final days of World War II, two Japanese submarines carrying a devastating biological weapon vanish before they can complete a secret attack on the United States. Decades later, marine engineer Dirk Pitt Jr. and marine biologist Summer Pitt uncover evidence that the lost weapon has resurfaced, drawing them and their father into a race against an enemy planning a catastrophic new attack. Their pursuit ranges across oceans and wreck sites as historical secrets, cutting-edge technology, and a succession of deadly traps push the NUMA team to its limits. Packed with maritime exploration, narrow escapes, and escalating danger, Black Wind is a globe-spanning Dirk Pitt adventure built for readers who want high-stakes action and suspense.
