Nighthawk

NUMA Files #14




The latest Kurt Austin action-packed NUMA Files adventure novel from the UK No. 1 bestseller Clive Cussler

A gripping, action-packed and suspense-filled tale that treks from the Galapagos Islands, to jungles of South America, to the icy birth-place of the Inca people.

A missing aircraft
Flying over the South Pacific, the most technologically advanced spacecraft ever built vanishes into thin air. Extremely valuable, both China and Russia would kill for the state-of-the-art machine.

An unstable cargo
Kurt Austin and the NUMA team are drawn into a stealthy race to locate the wreck. Only the United States know that waiting in its debris is a payload of exotic matter, stripped from the outermost reaches of the atmosphere.

A devastating weapon
Kept at absolute zero, the matter is so unstable that it could obliterate the face of the earth if allowed to thaw. In a race they can't lose, the NUMA team will risk everything to stop the world's most dazzling research from being the very thing that destroys it. Humanity's fate depends on them.
