Dirk Pitt: Trojan Odyssey

Viac o knihe

Long hailed as the grand master of adventure fiction, Clive Cussler astounds with intricate plotting and astonishing set pieces in his most audacious work yet. In the final pages of "Valhalla Rising," Dirk Pitt discovers he has two grown children—twenty-three-year-old fraternal twins born to a woman he thought had died in an underwater earthquake. Both twins share his love for the sea: Summer is a marine biologist, and Dirk is a marine engineer. They are about to join their father in an adventure of a lifetime. A brown tide is infesting the ocean off Nicaragua, and the twins are investigating its origin in a NUMA(r) underwater enclosure when two startling events occur: Summer uncovers a strange, beautiful, ancient artifact, and a fierce storm brews, threatening them and a luxurious floating resort hotel in its path. The danger is immense, prompting Pitt, Al Giordino, and the NUMA(r) crew to rush to the rescue. However, what they find in the storm's aftermath reveals a far greater threat—an all-too-human evil at work, with the brown tide merely a by-product of its sinister plan. Soon, the world will be irrevocably changed, and if Summer's discovery is accurate, it already is. Filled with breathtaking action and suspense, this novel showcases Cussler at the height of his storytelling powers.
