Dirk Pitt (Inca Gold), eco-warrior of the National Underwater & Marine
Agency (NUMA), returns for another boys' adventure tale, this one set in the
year 2000. Along for the sail are Pitt's roly-poly sidekick, Al Giordino, and
father-figure Admiral Sandecker, head of NUMA. As with all of Cussler's
novels since he raised the Titanic 20 years ago, the plot is a pip. People and
animals are dying mysteriously and in droves on various ocean shores, a
catastrophe caused by high-frequency sound waves generated by the ruthless
diamond-mining techniques of Australian tycoon Arthur Dorsett, whose fiendish
plan
is to ruin the diamond cartel and corner the colored gem market. Sometime
after Pitt gets on the case, he winds up being cast adrift by Dorsett in a
small, leaky boat in the Pacific; also on board are steadfast Al and Dorsett's
rebel daughter, Maeve, who provides the novel's love interest. The three are
shipwrecked but survive to build a small craft that will take them to
Dorsett's island fortress, where they hope to rescue Maeve's twin sons,
hostages
of the unlikely villain (Dorsett suffocates one enemy by stuffing his mouth
with diamonds). Meanwhile, Admiral Sandecker realizes that the deadly sound
from Dorsett's four Pacific mines will soon converge in Honolulu, killing
everyone there. Shipping weight 2lbs.ISBN-0-7434-2679-7 #4902
