When a rare mineral essential to a secret American defense project is traced to the wreck of the Titanic, Dirk Pitt and the NUMA team are assigned an almost impossible mission: raise the legendary ocean liner from the bottom of the North Atlantic. With the mineral potentially capable of changing the balance of power in the Cold War, Soviet intelligence agents are determined to prevent the Americans from recovering it. As Pitt and his crew undertake a daring deep-sea salvage operation, they must contend with treacherous waters, deadly sabotage, and an approaching hurricane. What begins as an extraordinary engineering challenge becomes a desperate struggle to recover a long-lost secret before it falls into enemy hands. A strong choice for a stormy evening when you want daring salvage, Cold War intrigue, and a seemingly impossible mission at sea.
