A deadly collision in the waterways off the city of Detroit. . . An attack by tomb raiders on an archaeological site along the banks of the Nile. . . Is there a link between these violent events? The answer may lie in the tale of an Egyptian princess forced to flee the armies of her father three thousand years ago. <p/>During what was supposed to be a routine investigation in South America, NUMA Director Dirk Pitt finds himself embroiled in an international mystery, one that will lead him across the world and which will threaten everyone and everything he knows--most importantly, his own family. Pitt travels to Scotland in search of answers about the spread of an unknown disease and the shadowy bioremediation company that may be behind it. Meanwhile, his son and daughter face a threat of their own when the discoveries they have made in an Egyptian tomb put killers on their trail. These seemingly unrelated riddles come together in a stunning showdown on the rocky isles of Ireland, where only the Pitts can unravel the secrets of an ancient enigma that could change the very future of mankind.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>Celtic Empire</i></b> <p/>"The scene settings are colorful, the characters appealing or despicable as needed....One darned thing after another keeps the Pitts in peril and will keep readers turning the pages."<b>--<i>Kirkus Reviews <p/></i></b>"Cussler's 25th Dirk Pitt novel has a little bit of everything that helped make the character, who the Associated Press once called the 'oceanic answer to Indiana Jones, ' a household name to begin with--including lots of cutting-edge science and plenty of action."<b>--<i>The Real Book Spy <p/></i></b><i>"<i>Celtic Empire</i> </i>is some of the best work between Clive and Dirk Cussler in years--proving that Dirk Pitt, one of the thriller genre's premier heroes, has plenty more adventures left in him moving forward."--<b><b><i>Crime Reads</i></b><br><i><br></i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Clive Cussler</b> is the author or coauthor of more than 50 previous books in five best-selling series, including Dirk Pitt, NUMA Files, Oregon Files, Isaac Bell, and Sam and Remi Fargo.
