For seven books, Clive Cussler has dazzled readers with the aspine-tingling adventuresa (‘Chicago Tribune’) of Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala, and the rest of the NUMAA(R) Special Assignments Team, but in ‘Medusa’ the NUMAA(R) team faces what may be its most perilous mission of all.
In the Micronesian Islands, a top secret, U.S. government-sponsored undersea lab conducting vital biomedical research on a rare blue jellyfish disappears. At the same time, off Bermuda, a bathysphere is attacked by an underwater vehicle. Only Kurt Austin can save its passengers from a watery grave. Austin, suspecting a connection between the two mysterious events, puts the NUMA team on the case.
He has no idea what he’s gotten them into – a hideous series of medical experiments . . . an extraordinarily ambitious Chinese criminal organization . . . a secret new virus that threatens to set off a worldwide pandemic. Austin and NUMA have been in tight spots before, but this time it’s not just their own lives on the line – it’s the lives of millions.
