Summary
“Dirk Pitt is oceanography’s answer to
Indiana Jones,” praises the Associated Press.
“Exotic locations, ruthless villains and many narrow
escapes—Cussler’s fans come for swashbuckling
[and] he delivers.” And now Pitt’s back to find
a crucial piece of marine tech that could reshape the
United States’ defense program.
It is the greatest advance in American defense technology
in decades—an attack submarine capable of incredible
underwater speeds. There is only one problem: A key element
of the prototype is missing—and the man who developed
it is dead. At the same time, ships have started vanishing mid-ocean,
and when a few reappear, bodies are found aboard burned to a
crisp.Could these mysterious events be connected to an
Italian submarine that itself disappeared in 1943? It is up to NUMA director Dirk Pitt and his team, aided by
a beautiful NCIS agent and by Pitt’s children, marine
engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, to go on a desperate
international chase to find the truth, from Washington to
Mexico, Idaho to Panama. What they discover at the end of it
is a much, much greater threat than even they imagined. Filled with breathtaking suspense and extraordinary
imagination,
Poseidon’s Arrow is further proof that
when it comes to adventure writing, nobody beats Clive
Cussler. **
