About this listen

A Sunday Times best seller.

The 13th adrenaline-filled Dirk Pitt classic from multi-million-copy king of the adventure novel, Clive Cussler.

A hundred and forty years after a British ship wrecks on the way to an Australian penal colony and the survivors discover diamonds on the tropical island where they wash up, Maeve Fletcher, one of their descendants, is stranded on an island in Antarctica with a party of passengers after their cruise ship seemingly abandons them.

Dirk Pitt, on an expedition to find the source of a deadly plague that is killing dolphins and seals in the Weddell Sea, finds Maeve and the passengers and rescues them from death. When Pitt later uncovers the cause of the plague, he discovers that Maeve's father, Arthur Dorsett, and her two sisters are responsible because of their diamond-mining technology. A deadly race develops to stop Dorsett from continuing his murderous mining operations and to head off a disaster that will kill millions. Pitt's struggle to foil Dorsett's ruthless plan to destroy the market for diamonds and thus gain a monopoly of his own takes him from harrowing adventures off the west coast of Canada to being cast adrift in the Tasman Sea.

The story starts in the 1800’s and then moves to modern day!
Dirk Pitt action man never lets the action fall and remarkably escapes each time, A little like Jack Reacher. Plenty of action which makes you want to keep listening. Scott Brick, the reader was excellent and he changed the characters voices which made the story come to life.
The story would make a great movie.

Action all the way!

Another great, ludicrous Cussler adventure, though Brick's Australian accent leaves something to be desired haha

Great
