Synopsis Clive Cussler introduces new action hero Kurt Austin in his first novel from the NUMA Files. The thrill ride begins when Kurt, leader of a courageous National Underwater Marine Agency, rescues Nina Kirov, a beautiful marine archaeologist, from the lethal grip of a powerful Texas industrialist named Halcon. Now Nina and Kurt must take on a dangerous mission to uncover Halcon's plan to violently carve out a new nation from the southwest United States to Mexico. But before they do that, history reveals an amazing truth: that Columbus may have made a fifth, unknown voyage to America in search of treasure and that the remains of a battered Italian luxury liner may hold the key to not only what Columbus may have found, but also the fate of the United States itself.
