The world’s oil supply is vanishing, the
stock market is plummeting, and the key to saving the future seems to
be a baffling historical mystery. Can the NUMA crew crack it in time? Sea of Greed is the suspenseful new NUMA Files novels from the #1 New York Times-bestselling grand master of adventure.
After
an explosion in the Gulf of Mexico destroys three oil rigs trying to
revive a dying field, Kurt Austin and the NUMA Special Projects Team are
tapped by the President of the United States to find out what’s gone
wrong. The trail leads them to a brilliant billionaire in the
alternative energy field. Her goal is the end of the oil age; her
company has spent billions developing the worlds’ most advanced
fuel-cell systems. But is she an environmental hero…or a rogue genetic
engineer?
The NUMA crew discovers that the oil fields are
infected with bacteria that are consuming the oil before it can be
pumped out of the earth–a bacteria originally lost decades ago when two
submarines vanished in the Mediterranean.
With hired killers on
his trail, can Kurt Austin locate a submarine that’s remained hidden for
more than fifty years? And even if he can, can the biological terror
that’s been unleashed be stopped?
Praise
“Fast-paced, imaginative fun. May Kurt and crew survive, as there’s a good series to continue.”—Kirkus Reviews “Female
villains of the evil-genius type are few and far between in the
high-concept-adventure subgenre, and it’s refreshing to find one here. .
. Cussler’s devoted readership will find this among the better entries
in the series.”—Booklist
“Solid. . . Cussler fans
know who will win in the end, but it’s always fun to watch the NUMA guys
and gals implementing their clever plans.”—Publishers Weekly
