When the inventor of a revolutionary submarine propulsion system is murdered and his plans disappear, NUMA director Dirk Pitt is drawn into a dangerous international conspiracy. At the same time, cargo ships are vanishing at sea, sometimes reappearing with their crews mysteriously burned to death. As Pitt and his longtime partner Al Giordino investigate, his children, Dirk Jr. and Summer, uncover additional clues connecting stolen technology, rare-earth minerals, and a missing World War II submarine.

This globe-spanning adventure suits readers who enjoy stolen inventions, vanished ships, historical clues, and resourceful heroes confronting danger together.
