In the waning days of World War II, the Japanese tried a last desperate measure-a different kind of kamikaze mission, this one carried out by two submarines bound for the West Coast of the United States, their cargo a revolutionary new strain of biological virus. Neither sub made it to the designated target.

But that does not mean they were lost.

Someone knows about the subs and what they bore, knows too where they might be, and has an extraordinary plan in store for the prize inside-a scheme that could reshape the world as we know it. All that stands in the way are three people: a marine biologist named Summer, a marine engineer named Dirk, and their father, Dirk Pitt, the new head of NUMA. Pitt has faced devastating enemies before, and has even teamed up with his children to track them down. But never has he looked upon the face of pure evil . . . until now.

RELEASE NOTES:

included in a box of books for Operation Paperback

I'm in the U.S. Army currently out in a basi in the middle of nowhere, Iraq!!!! I actually stumbled across the book laying on a bench when i was trying to get out of this blistering heat. The cover caught my eye and I've enjoyed reading it ever since. I noticed the bookccrossing info on the back and figured why not let's see where this book has been and where it may wind up. I plan to leave it somewhere where someone will come across it just like i did and hopefully continue on with the journy of this book!!!!
