DESCRIPTION:
In 1916, a British warship mysteriously explodes in the middle of the North Sea. 327, a Roman galley barely escapes a pirate attack with its extraordinary cargo. In A.D. Does anything tie them together? NUMA director Dirk Pitt is about to find out, as Roman artifacts discovered in Turkey and Israel unnervingly connect to the rise of a fundamentalist movement determined to restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire, and to the existence of a mysterious "manifest," lost long ago, which if discovered again just may change the history of the world as we know it.. Dirk Pitt returns in the extraordinary new novel from the #1 New York Times--bestselling author. In the present day, a cluster of important mosques in Turkey and Egypt are wracked by explosions
The authors keep the action moving with plenty of wreck diving, running sea battles, and ships laden with explosives. From Publishers Weekly In the bloated fourth Dirk Pitt novel from Cussler and son Dirk (after Arctic Drift), evildoers Ozden Aktan Celik and Ozden's sister, Maria, who are bent on Muslim domination of the Middle East, plot to blow up sacred Muslim sites like Jerusalem's Dome of the Rock and pin the blame on the CIA in particular and the West in general. . Dirk, the director of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, and the Celiks are both searching for lost religious artifacts related to Jesus, artifacts whose rediscovery could embarrass certain powerful members of the British establishment.

"Entertaining yarn set in what could be the current middle east" according to W. Dan Marks. Great yarn. Clive tells an entertaining story interwoven with historical details and what ifs that are certainly relavent to the current middle eastern situation especially with the recent coup attempt in Turkey.. Andy said My favorite so far. This was exciting from cover to cover in Cussler fashion! NUMA and the Pitt gang are at it again and I loved every bit of it!. Great read William Romer One of his best to date, I have missed some of the adventures, but now that they are available on kindle I can catch up
