Book Description:
The #1 New York Times bestseller!
An underwater graveyard in the Pacific Northwest... A mysterious seaport in the bayous of Louisiana... A diabolical plot to destroy America!
Unknown waters, 1948. The Princess Dou Wan, a sea-weary cruise ship covertly seized by Chiang Kai-shek, slams into a devastating storm that tears the hull apart and sends it and a mysterious cargo down into the depths, lost to all searchers for more than fifty years.
Pacific Northwest, 2000. Dirk Pitt® rescues a beautiful undercover immigration agent from Qin Shang, an insatiably greedy smuggler whose vast fortune is made selling Chinese immigrants into slavery around the globe. Shang's campaign contributions have bought him a collection of powerful U.S. politicians, but Pitt finds the secret behind Shang's vast and mystifying seaport in the Louisiana bayou to be shockingly sinister. From an adrenaline-pumped race against time and tide up the Mississippi River to a desperate dash to recover Chinese treasures, Dirk Pitt faces one of his most formidable foes -- a madman bent on killing hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, and children with a catastrophic surge of mass destruction.

Tracy H. (This review was originally written for the audio book version:
As always, Dirk Pitt does not fail to entertain me. For readers familiar with both Dirk Pitt AND Juan Cabrillo, this is where they first meet, though that's not the point of the book. The only down-side here is that Cabrillo is described as a Mexican American and the reader voices him as something resembling the Frito Bandito.
Dirk Pitt as heroic as ever. This is the kind of story thats in the headlines today. Once you start you won't want to stop.
Tonya T. (Another great one from Clive Cussler, following Dirk Pitt & Al Giordino's adventures
Glenda L. (Another Dirk Pitt adventure that will keep you coming back for more.
