Valhalla Rising (Dirk Pitt, Bk 16)


It is July 2003. In the middle of it's maiden voyage, the luxury cruise ship Emerald Dolphin, suddenly catches fire and sinks. What caused it? Why didn't the alarms go off? What was it's connection to the reveloutionary new engines powering the ship? NUMA special projects director Dirk Pitt races to rescue the passengers and investigates the disaster, but he has no idea of the bizarre chain of events that are about to engulf him.
Before the next few weeks are over, Pitt will find himself confonted by an extradorinary series of monsters, both human and mechanical, modern and ancient. He will tread upon territory previously known only to legend. And at the end of it all, though many lives will be lost, and many saved, it is Pitt's own life that will be changed forever...
