Description
The new Kurt Austin adventure in the NUMA Files series from UK No. 1 bestseller Clive Cussler.
The Rising Sea introduces a global threat: the world's sea levels are rising at an alarming rate, too quickly to be caused by glacier melt. This is a risk so big it sends Kurt Austin, Zoe Zavala, and the NUMA team rocketing around the world in search for answers.
Their desperate mission takes them from the shark-filled waters of Asia, to the high-tech streets of Tokyo, and to a forbidden secret island. However, it's in the East China Sea that a mysterious underwater mining operation is discovered.
In this devastating endgame, Kurt uncovers a plot more dangerous than they could have imagined—a plan to upset the Pacific balance of power, threatening the lives of millions. It falls to the NUMA team to risk everything to stop it and save the world from the coming catastrophe.
