Book description
Clive Cussler's Black Wind is the eighteenth Dirk Pitt
adventure, and a masterclass in adventure writing.
In the dark, final days of World War Two, two submarines set out
from Japan bearing a deadly virus destined for US cities. But
neither boat was heard of again...
Present day: NUMA Special Projects Director Dirk Pitt rescues a team
of scientists from a deadly cloud of poison gas in the North West
Pacific. Discovering that this was no natural phenomenon, Pitt is
quickly on the hunt for a pair of lost WWII submarines and their
deadly cargo. But he soon learns that he's not the only one searching
for the virus: a sinister group of very able terrorists are aiming to
relaunch the attack on the US some sixty years later. With time
running out, only Dirk Pitt and the NUMA team stand between evil
forces and a terrifying assault on America's west coast ...
With pulse-pounding suspense and jaw-dropping action on almost every
page, Black Wind is a Clive Cussler story that no adventure
junkie dare miss. Black Wind is the eighteenth of Clive
Cussler's bestselling Dirk Pitt novels - the series that also includes
Sahara and, his first novel, Mayday - co-authored with
his son Dirk Cussler, in which our hero races against a terrorist
organisation to prevent a biological attack on the US.
