Now, with a surprising twist, he gives us his most audacious work yet.Dirk Pitt recently discovered that he had two grown children - twenty-three-year-old fraternal twins born to a woman he thought had died. Both have inherited his love of the sea: the girl, Summer, is a marine biologist; the boy, Dirk, is a marine engineer. And they are about to help their father in the adventure of a lifetime. A brown tide is infesting the ocean off the shores of Nicaragua. The twins are working in a NUMA(r) underwater enclosure, trying to determine its origin, when two startling things happen: Summer discovers an artifact, strange and beautiful and ancient; and the worst storm in years boils up out of the sky, heading straight for them - and for a luxurious floating resort hotel.About the author: Cussler's books are published in more than 40 languages in more than 100 countries with a readership of more than 125 million avid fans.
