Kurt Austin and the NUMA crew face swarms of deadly bio-hacked sea locusts, a runaway AI system, and a sinister cult in the latest novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series created by the \"grand master of adventure\" Clive Cussler. When Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala investigate a mass stranding of aquatic life in the Indian Ocean, they accidentally uncover a much deeper mystery. A strange figure soon steals NUMA's findings, forcing a high-speed chase-someone really didn't want them examining those dead whales. But who, and why? A cryptic text through the NUMA satellite network makes things still stranger- these odd phrases and numbers look like NUMA codes. But who could be tantalizing the crew with such specific knowledge of their tech? Are they being helped by an old friend, or lured into a trap by a traitor who knows a little too much about NUMA's inner workings? Kurt, Joe, and even Max, the agency's supercomputer, will have to investigate like never before as they decrypt data, infiltrate a cult of cloned men, and prepare for a battle on two very different planes- one physical; one digital. The aquatic stranding was just the beginning of a sinister plan concocted by a mind more brilliant than any they've ever faced-the mind of a machine. A new, terrifying world order is being plotted. First marine ecosystems will be devastated, then the entire globe's . . .Unless the NUMA crew can stop this code of desolation.

ABOUT AUTHOR CLIVE CUSSLER

Clive Cussler, born on July 15, 1931, in Aurora, Illinois, and raised in Alhambra, California, was a master storyteller and maritime enthusiast. After two years at Pasadena City College, he enlisted in the United States Air Force and served during the Korean War. Post-military service, Cussler's creative talents flourished in the advertising world, where he wrote and edited over 100 radio and television scripts.

Best known for his gripping adventure novels, Cussler introduced readers to the iconic character Dirk Pitt in his first book, "The Mediterranean Caper." Over his illustrious career, he authored more than 85 books, many of which became New York Times bestsellers, with an astounding 125 million copies in print worldwide. His contributions to literature earned him the prestigious Ellis Island Medal of Honor.

Cussler's passion for the sea extended beyond fiction. He co-founded the National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA), a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving maritime history through the discovery, exploration, and conservation of shipwreck artifacts. His novels have been adapted into successful films, further solidifying his impact on popular culture.

An avid collector of classic automobiles, Cussler's renowned collection featured prominently in several of his novels. Clive Cussler passed away on February 24, 2020, leaving behind a prolific literary legacy and a lasting impact on the world of maritime exploration and adventure fiction.
