“When the going gets tough, I read Clive Cussler, for no one can spin a yarn that’s so thoroughly spellbinding and entertaining as he can.”—Harold Coyle

ARCTIC DRIFT

Clive Cussler’s previous Dirk Pitt® novel, Treasure of Khan, satisfied readers’ appetites for action with “a big fat juicy cheeseburger of a novel” (Los Angeles Times). Now, Cussler once again brings to life the heroism and guts that have made Dirk Pitt a legend in the world of adventure. . . .

A potential breakthrough discovery to reverse global warming . . . a series of unexplained deaths in British Columbia . . . a rash of international incidents between the United States and a longtime ally that threatens to erupt into a shooting war. NUMA Director Dirk Pitt and his children, Dirk, Jr., and Summer, know there’s a connection—but they also know they have very little time to find it.

Their only real clue might just be a mysterious silvery mineral traced to a long-ago expedition in search of the fabled Northwest Passage. But no one survived that doomed mission. And if Pitt and his buddy Al Giordino aren’t careful, the very same fate may await them . . . and the world.
