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
