"In May 1940, as the German army blitzes Europe and Parisians flee their city, the chief curator of the Musée de l'Armée is ordered to get a mysterious piece of cargo out of the country. When he arrives at the port of Le Havre and learns that his intended ship has been sunk, he places the object on a decrepit steamer that sails out under German fire. In the present day, Dirk Pitt and the NUMA agency are on a diving expedition in the English Channel and discover a cache of uncut diamonds on a shipwreck. When the diamonds are stolen, the team find themselves up against a murderous cabal that soon reveals far more destructive plans than mere theft. From the shadow of the Eiffel Tower to the depths of the Irish Sea to the islands of the Caribbean, only Dirk Pitt and his children can locate the treasure that will save the world from catastrophe"--,Back cover.
