KURT AUSTIN -- CLIVE CUSSLER'S NEW HERO FOR THE MILLENNIUM -- BATTLES
TO STOP A BILLIONAIRE TYCOON FROM ACHIEVING WORLD DOMINATION
BLUE GOLD
An investigation into the sudden deaths of a pod of gray whales leads
National Underwater & Marine Agency leader Kurt Austin to the Mexican
coast, where someone tries to put him and his mini-sub permanently out of
commission. Meanwhile, in South America's lush hills, a specially assigned
NUMA team discovers a mysterious tribe, a mythical white goddess, and a
murderous cadre of bio-pirates intent on stealing medicinal secrets worth
millions.
Soon, Austin and his crew realize they're working opposite ends of the
same grand scheme and must race against time to save the world's
freshwater supply from a twisted eco-extortionist. But every step toward
salvation takes them deeper into a dense jungle of treachery, blackmail,
and death.
