Over the past few years, Clive Cussler's NUMA® Files novels,
written with Paul Kemprecos, have become critical and fan
favorites, each received more enthusiastically than the last.
About the most recent triumph, Publishers Weekly wrote,
"Cussler's multitude of fans arrive at the table expecting
a roiling stew of seafaring adventure, exotice travel destinations,
cutting-edge science [and] a splash of romance. In White
Death, they will find their expectations extravagantly
fulfilled!
And they will find them fulfilled again in Lost City.
An enzyme that will dramatically prolong life has been discovered
two thousand feet down in the North Atlantic, in an area
known as "Lost City." But why are the people attempting
to harvest it getting killed? Why are the scientists in
a remote Greek laboratory disappearing one by one? What
does this all have to do with a body found frozen in the
ice high up in the Alps? For Kurt Austin, leader of NUMA's
Special Assignments Team, and his colleague Joe Zavala,
it's clear they have their work cut out, but it may be even
bigger than they think - in fact, it may be their greatest
challenge ever...
Rich with all the hair-raising action and endless imagination
that have become Cussler's hallmarks, Lost City is
an exceptional thriller - on of the best yet from "Clive
the Mighty" (Kirkus Reviews).
