The Devil's Sea
Book 26 of the Dirk Pitt series
A forgotten aircraft in the Philippine Sea leads Dirk Pitt toward a priceless Buddhist artifact lost for decades. During a mission to recover a failed hypersonic missile, he encounters a rogue Chinese military team using a hijacked vessel capable of turning the sea itself into a weapon. Dirk Jr. and Summer carry the artifact toward the Himalayas while pursuers try to seize it before it can be returned. Fast and cinematic, this thriller suits readers who enjoy Asian maritime settings, advanced weapons, sacred relics, and simultaneous chases divided between dangerous water and high mountains.
