From the dust jacket, "When it comes to sheer excitement,
nobody can top Clive Cussler - except Clive Cussler himself!
After his adventures in the best-selling Deep Six, the indomitable
Dirk Pitt returns in a new, even more enthralling spellbinder.
It begins when a noted financial publisher and adventurer,
Raymond LeBaron, sets off in an antique blimp in search of
the Cyclops, a U.S. Navy collier which vanished in mysterious
circumstances in 1918 near Cuban waters - and which may have
had on board a fabulous treasure ... LeBaron and his crew
also vanish, in circumstances that are at once puzzling and
alarming and which lead a reluctant Dirk Pitt into one of
the most extraordinary adventures of this career - and adventure
that leads him step by step, in constant danger, to the discovery
of a secret base on the moon, a Soviet plot against Castro
that endangers the peace of the world, and the unveiling of
the treasure itself... With the skilled hand of a master storyteller,
Clive Cussler has woven in Cyclops his most complex and suspenseful
plot, linking the fascinating behind-the-headlines facts of
Star Wars and the Cold War with a compelling story of greed
and passion - and a secret so amazing that it has been kept
from the President of the United States himself. The bizarre
chain of events that begins with LeBaron's disappearance explodes
into a battle between the Soviet Union and the United States
for possession of the moon and ends with a blazing, cliff-hanging
race against time to prevent an awesome tragedy. It almost
defeats Dirk Pitt and takes him from the inner councils of
the White House to a confrontation with Fidel Castro himself...It
is Clive Cussler's most ambitious novel to date."
