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.
