The legendary Dirk Pitt is back to battle world destruction from a corrupt diamond tycoon named Arthur Dorsett.
A British Clipper ship on its way to the Australian penal colony in 1856 is caught in a brutal typhoon in the Tasman Sea. A chaotic mutiny breaks out. Less than ten survivors, surrounded by blood thirsty sharks wash up on shore of a deserted island. A baby is born.
An evil diamond tycoon and his two cold hearted daughters pour a cup full of diamonds down a competitor’s throat and watch him die. The three have hatched a plan that threatens the safety of the world involving an unexplained disaster that claims thousands of human and animal lives in the Antarctic, a plan that if achieved, will completely destroy life as we know it.
Only the NUMA legends Dirk Pitt, and Al Giordino teamed with the diamond tycoon’s third and estranged daughter can stop this from happening. After Floating at sea for days with sharks, through a tycoon with no food or water, they enter a lagoon on an island with a large serpent and a hungry Great White Shark. What more can they be put through? The answer is a lot more!
