Devil's Gate
Book 9 of the NUMA Files series
A burning Japanese cargo ship and an attack by opportunistic pirates lead Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala toward an inexplicable graveyard of ships and aircraft near the Azores. The wrecks, a missing CERN scientist, and strange magnetic phenomena point to a directed-energy weapon under development in Sierra Leone. Dictator Djemma Garand intends to use the technology to threaten major powers, while mercenaries eliminate anyone approaching the truth. Relentless and gadget-filled, this NUMA thriller suits readers who enjoy experimental weapons, submarine races, African settings, scientific kidnappings, and heroes pursuing a disaster from an Atlantic rescue to a showdown against state-backed ambition.
