Crescent Dawn
Book 21 of the Dirk Pitt series
Dirk Pitt's survey work uncovers an Ottoman wreck whose cargo connects Roman-era artifacts, attacks on historic mosques, and a raid on Istanbul's Topkapi Palace. His children pursue related discoveries in Israel and Turkey while extremist siblings seek a lost document capable of inflaming the region. Separate archaeological puzzles converge into a race to prevent manufactured history from becoming a weapon for political restoration. Globe-spanning and brisk, this thriller suits readers who enjoy underwater discoveries, ancient religious artifacts, Middle Eastern settings, and villains turning contested interpretations of the past into present danger.
