Synopsis

This is Kurt Austin's toughest assignment yet ...The discovery of a body frozen for ninety years in a glacier high in the French Alps seems of unlikely concern to Kurt Austin and the NUMA Special Projects team. But when those on site are trapped in alpine tunnels flooding with glacial meltwater, Austin can hardly ignore a cry for help. And this near tragedy proves to be no mere accident. For the body held a secret. A secret someone was prepared to kill for. Soon Austin is plunged into a mystery involving a virulent algal weed ravaging the Atlantic's Lost City trench, while he and the team face a family of astonishing greed - who will stop at nothing to get what they want...

From AudioFile:

Narrator Len Cariou captures the audience with his portentous opening words, "Fail and millions die. . ." in the fifth installment of the dynamic NUMA (National Underwater Marine Agency) series. Using French, German, and crisp English accents with fluid precision, Cariou captures the spirit of danger and intrigue typical of Cussler novels. Add to the mix ghastly human experiments, a mysterious sixteenth-century helmet with the elixir of youth inscribed on it, mutant cannibals, and ecological catastrophe--and you have Cussler at his best. With tight pacing, vocal nuance, and varying pitch, Cariou intensifies the suspense, creating unforgettable characters and plot in this multilayered story of world domination.
