: |
In the Micronesian Islands, a top secret, U.S.
government–sponsored undersea lab conducting vital biomedical research on a
rare jellyfish known as the Blue Medusa suddenly ... disappears. At the same
time, off Bermuda, a bathysphere is attacked
by an underwater vehicle and left helpless a half mile below the surface, its
passengers—including Zavala—left to die. Only Kurt Austin’s heroic measures
save them from a watery grave, but, suspecting a connection, Austin puts the NUMA team on the case. He has
no idea what he's just gotten them all into. A hideous series of medical
experiments ... an extraordinarily ambitious Chinese criminal organization ...
a secret new virus that threatens to set off a worldwide pandemic. Austin and Zavala
have been in tight spots before, but this time it's not just their own skins
they're trying to save—it's the lives of millions.
Filled with the high-stakes suspense and boundless invention
unique to Cussler, Medusa is the most thrilling novel yet from the grand master
of adventure.

Praise and Reviews |
: |
"Some clunky dialogue and an ending right out of a Scooby Doo cartoon hurt a bit, but Cussler fans will stick around for the action."
- Booklist
"Soon enough, the disparate plot lines converge in an action-packed tale that snags readers and drags them racing through heavy seas and high drama."
- Publishers Weekly
In the latest in the long line of popular adventure novels by Cussler, whose first major success, Raise the Titanic, now seems eons ago, an influenza pandemic in China threatens to explode and kill countless millions. While a joint U.S. and Chinese team makes strides on a vaccine, bad guys working on their own vaccine to gain great wealth and power kidnap the scientists. Enter Cussler hero Kurt Austin (The Navigator) and his NUMAA buddies to take on the villains, and who do you think will win? Cussler loves to combine history with current action, so the key to a vaccine lies in the log of an 1847 whaling ship owned by the descendants of a crewman.
