PRE-ORDER THE LATEST DIRK PITT ADVENTURE. From the shadow of war comes an enduring historical
mystery - and a present-day plot of destruction . . . France May 1940 As the German army
blitzes Europe and Parisians flee their city the chief curator of the Musee de l'Armee is
ordered to take a mysterious piece of cargo out of the country. But when he learns his intended
ship has been sunk the fate of his cargo must rest on a decrepit steamer sailing out under
German fire. . . Decades later a diving expedition in the English Channel leads Director
Dirk Pitt to a cache of uncut diamonds on a shipwreck. No sooner than they are discovered the
diamonds are stolen! Pitt and the NUMA agency now find they must face a murderous cabal with
far more destructive plans than mere theft. Vital water treatment facilities around the globe
are being targeted - placing the world's population in grave peril. From the shadow of the
Eiffel Tower to the islands of the Caribbean only Dirk Pitt and his children Summer and Dirk
Jr. can locate the treasure that will save the world from catastrophe. PRAISE FOR CLIVE
