White Death

by Clive Cussler

For thriller fans everywhere, the electrifying new series from Clive
Cussler has been a cause for rejoicing. With the adventures of Kurt
Austin, taken from the NUMA Files, "Cussler is in top form," says
Publishers Weekly, with "enough derring-do and eco-lore to leave his
fans breathless."

Hailed as a hero for the new millennium, Austin is the leader of NUMA's Special Assignments Team and the threat before him now is definitely
special. A confrontation between a radical environmentalist group and
a Danish cruiser has forced Austin and colleague Joe Zavala to come to
the rescue of a shipful of trapped men, but when the two of them
investigate further, they discover that something far more sinister is
at work. A shadowy multinational corporation is attempting to wrest
control of the very seas themselves, no matter what havoc results, and
is killing anyone who attempts to stop it. When Austin's boat blows up
and he only barely survives, it seems certain he was supposed to be the
next in line to die, but he cannot stop now. For the environmental
disaster has already begun, and only he and NUMA stand in the way..
..

Filled with all the hair-raising action and endless imagination unique
to Cussler, White Death is an exceptional thriller from the grand
master of adventure fiction.

Clive Cussler is the author or coauthor of twenty-two previous books,
including, most recently, the number-one bestseller Valhalla Rising,
the NUMA Files novel Fire Ice, and the nonfiction work The Sea Hunters
II. The last describes the true-life adventures of the real NUMA ,
which, led by Cussler, searches for lost ships of historic
significance. With his crew of volunteers, Cussler has discovered more
than sixty ships, including the long-lost Confederate submarine Hunley.
He divides his time between the mountains of Colorado and the deserts
of Arizona.

Paul Kemprecos co-authored the Numa Files novels Serpent, Blue Gold,
and Fire Ice, and is a Shamus Award-winning author of six underwater
detective thrillers. A certified scuba diver and a former newspaper
