Devil's Gate: NUMA Files: NUMA Files #9 Brown, Graham

A black mist is rising off the Indian Ocean, and NUMA operatives Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are about to find out it's not a natural phenomenon. When a yacht packed with cutting-edge scientific equipment vanishes near Devil's Gate — a notorious stretch of sea where ships have been disappearing for centuries — the trail leads to a rogue scientist with a particle accelerator and a plan that could tilt the balance of global power. Clive Cussler and Graham Brown deliver a techno-thriller that moves from deep-sea dive sites to hidden laboratories, mixing historical mystery with modern science gone wrong. The ninth NUMA Files adventure has everything: exotic locations, high-stakes sabotage, and the kind of breakneck pacing that makes you miss your subway stop. For fans of James Rollins and Michael Crichton, or anyone who thinks oceanography should involve more explosions.
