Synopsis

Dirk Pitt has just learned that he has two grown children: fraternal twins aged twenty-three, born to a woman he believed had died in an underwater earthquake. Summer is a marine biologist and young Dirk is a marine engineer. Both share their father's pull toward the sea.

Off the coast of Nicaragua, a brown tide is spreading through the ocean. The twins work inside a NUMA underwater enclosure, trying to trace where it comes from. Then Summer finds an ancient artifact, strange and beautiful, and a violent storm, the worst in years, builds on the horizon.

The storm is headed for the enclosure and for a luxury floating resort hotel directly in its path. Pitt, Al Giordino and the rest of the NUMA crew rush to the rescue. What they uncover once the weather passes is worse than the storm itself.

A human enemy is at work in the region, and the brown tide is only a by-product of its plan. When that plan is finished, the world will be a different place. Summer's find hints that it already is. This is a Dirk Pitt adventure that follows Valhalla Rising and puts father and children on the same side of the danger.
