Clive has done a wonderful job of crafting this spellbinding thriller.

Mixing science, technology, history, into the storytelling to create
a unique blend of High-tech, Bio-tech, Multinational thriller, with
a romantic historical whaling turn of the century back story, which isn't
a side note but a key clue to the outcome of the story.

The highly detailed 514 pages, leave little to be desired, but it is not
perfect some licence has been taken, but its required to reach the final
desired effect.

Others refer to this book as " Filled with action, heroics, and apparently
plausible science, which makes for great summer escape reading" I have to agree.

Another top notch thriller from the master Cussler and co-author Paul Kemprecos.

From inside cover: In the Micronesian islands, a top secret, U.S. government-sponsored undersea lab conducting vital biomedical research on the rare blue medusa jellyfish disappears. At the same time, off Bermuda, a bathysphere is attacked by an underwater vehicle. Only Kurt Austin can save its passengers from a watery grave. Austin, suspecting a connection between the two mysterious events, puts the NUMA team on the case.
He has no idea what he's gotten them into--a hideous series of medical experiments... an extraordinarily ambitious Chinese criminal organization... a secret new virus that threatens to set off a worldwide pandemic. Austin and NUMA have been in tight spots before, but this time it's not just their own lives on the line--it's the lives of millions.

Mr. Cussler gives you a fast paced often humorous ride in Medusa.

Timely current events with dastardly outcomes are possible!

The action spans the globe and even some underwater locations with

Breathless, scary moments all too believable with some personal

and intriguing introductions to slimy creatures. N.U.M.A. brings

the thrilling action one has come to expect from Clive Cussler.

As always Clive Cussler's books are enjoyable. I look forwarded to new books from his staff because when I read his books I know that there will always be something new and off-times scarey.
