About this listen

Polar Shift is the sixth NUMA Files novel by the inimitable Clive Cussler.

Giant freak waves send an unsinkable cargo ship to the bottom of the Atlantic and a herd of killer whales attack a party of kayakers in the Pacific - random events, or evidence of polar shift?

For Kurt Austin of NUMA these two seemingly unconnected incidents are harbingers of a global phenomenon that will mark the end of civilization! A secret organization aiming to bring down the world's elite powers have discovered the means to bring about polar shift - a catastrophic event that will cause earthquakes, lava eruptions, tsunami, electrical disruption and giant whirlpools.

Austin knows that he and NUMA cannot fail this time. The end of the world is coming unless he and the team can track down the conspirators or reverse the effects of the Earth's most destructive power: polar shift!


Clive Cussler, author of the best-selling Dirk Pitt novels Arctic Drift and Valhalla Rising, and co-author Paul Kemprecos pit their hero Kurt Austin against a destructive environmental force in Polar Shift, the sixth novel of the action-packed NUMA Files series.

Really enjoyed the story lines and the way it was related. Reminded me a Jack Higgins plot at the start, but it developed into an interesting Cussler style maze as it developed. I really enjoyed it.

I used to be a big fan of Dirk Pitt a lot of years ago so thought I would give Clive Cussler a go on Audible, but it was the NUMA files series that was on offer, not Dirk Pitt, so I took a chance on them.

I struggled to get into this as I found it a bit slow and nothing about it grabbed me, but after a break to listen to another book, I came back for a second go and persevered. Once I got to the second half it definitely improved and with Scott Brick's narration I got into the story. Another reviewer says this isn't his best so I will try another book or two and perhaps find one with Dirk Pitt.

Not quite sure...
