Who was really the first to sail to the new world? What were the origins of Native American Indians? Why were Thomas Jefferson and Meriwether Lewis forced to communicate using secret codes? And who thwarted each of these incidents that crossed centuries? These are common threads wound throughout this story staring NUMA star Kurt Austin.

Clive Cussler adds a layer of interest and intrigue to this and many of his stories by tying in historical facts or possibilities that can take the average Action and Adventure book and move it toward a Mystery. Although more background is required to set up the story line, in the end a better product can hold on to your attention until the last chapters.

If you have read any of the previous novels in any of the NUMA series' then you know there is a large cast of characters included to bring about a globe trotting story like this. If you make friends with these characters then each book will make you feel like an insider.

Enjoy!
