A Dirk Pitt Adventure
Dirk Pitt rescues a beautiful undercover immigration agent from Qin Shang, an insatiably greedy smuggler whose vast fortune is made selling Chinese immigrants into slavery around the globe. Shang's campaign contributions have bought him a collection of powerful US politicians, but Pitt finds the secret behind Shang's vast and mystifying seaport in the Louisiana bayou to be shockingly sinister.
From an adrenaline-pumped race against time and tide up the Mississippi River to a desperate clash to recover Chinese treasures, Dirk Pitt faces one of his most formidable foes - a madman bent on killing hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women, and children with a catastrophic surge of mass destruction.
