What they find at the bottom of the East China Sea, however, is even worse than they imagined: a diabolical plan to upset the Pacific balance of power--and in the process displace as many as a billion people. <p/>A rare alloy unlike anything else on earth, a pair of five-hundred-year-old Japanese talismans, an assassin so violent even the Yakuza has disowned him, an audacious technological breakthrough that will become a very personal nightmare for Kurt Austin--from the shark-filled waters of Asia to the high-tech streets of Tokyo to a forbidden secret island, the NUMA team must risk everything to head off the coming catastrophe.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Another entertaining and diverting read from a true legend in the adventure business. . . . invok[es] the classic feel of James Bond reimagined as an oceanographer." -<b>-Associated Press</b> <p/>"An action-adventure for the age of climate change. . . Plenty of action and drama. Fans will not be disappointed."--<b><i>Charleston Post and Courier</i></b> <p/>"One of the best recent novels to bear the Cussler name...
