To put it mildly, exciting action ensues. Imagine a craft larger than the Empire State Building that lands “as soft as a feather.” Indeed, it’s “a world-class ocean liner plowing the skies.” NUMA sends people to inspect the Condor on the pretext that they might want to purchase a similar airship. And what better device for spreading the dust-sized chips in the billions than to disperse them from his luxury airship the Condor?

So now that Colon has successfully tested the weapon on individuals, he’s ready to go big time. And if you’re told to kill your friends, you’ll kill them if you can. If you get jabbed with this, your brain imprints and blindly obeys the first voice you hear. He and his henchmen have injected the Heron’s crew with tiny microchips, electromagnetic sensors half the size of an average grain of pollen. The guy’s a bad dude with a serious grudge against the United States. The crazies are victims of Martin Colon, formerly of Cuban Intelligence and now VP of Ostrom Airship Corporation. The ship at first appears to be empty, but once the rescuers explore inside, a group of crazed men attacks them.
There, the National Underwater and Marine Agency training ship Edison responds to a mayday call from the MV Heron saying that they're under attack. Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala “find trouble the way a prize bloodhound finds a scent,” and this time they find it in the seas near Nassau. Lots of violent action with little payoff.ĭanger abounds in the 20th ocean adventure in Cussler’s NUMA Files series.

The book’s treatment of Iran’s “existential threat to the entire globe” as a subplot is rather curious, to say the least. The only way to stop them is unleashing an unpiloted and untested super plane with massive destructive power. Meanwhile.in the nation’s capital, American surveillance has determined that Iran is on the cusp of nuclear armament. meeting with Amanda, a single mom whose impetuous daughter, Bella, has run off with her highly undesirable boyfriend only to be abducted by the baddies.

Now that she’s seen what Jamie can do, Liz takes it on herself to arrange an interview in which Jamie will ask Kenneth Therriault, a serial bomber who’s just killed himself, where he’s stowed his latest explosive device before it can explode posthumously. His uncanny gift at first seems utterly unrelated to his mother Tia’s work as a literary agent, but the links become disturbingly clear when her star client, Regis Thomas, dies shortly after starting work on the newest entry in his bestselling Roanoke Saga, and Tia and her lover, NYPD Detective Liz Dutton, drive Jamie out to Cobblestone Cottage to encourage the late author to dictate an outline of his latest page-turner so that Tia, who’s fallen on hard times, can write it in his name instead of returning his advance and her cut.
