Long hailed as the grand master of adventure fiction, Clive Cussler has continued to astound with the intricate plotting and astonishing set pieces of his novels. In the final pages of Valhalla Rising, Dirk Pitt discovered, to his shock, that he had two grown children he had never known - twenty-three-year-old fraternal twins born to a woman he thought had died in an underwater earthquake. Both have inherited his love of the sea: the girl, Summer, is a marine biologist; the boy, himself named Dirk, is a marine engineer.

There is a brown tide infesting the ocean off the shore of Nicaragua. The peril for everybody concerned is incalculable, and, desperately, Pitt, Al Giordino, and the rest of the NUMA(r) crew rush to the rescue, but what they find in the storm's wake makes the furies of nature pale in comparison. For there is an all-too-human evil at work in that part of the world, and the brown tide is only a by-product of its plan.

Filled with breathtaking action and suspense, Trojan Odyssey is Cussler at the height of his storytelling powers.
