Publisher Description
The Storm is Clive Cussler's thrilling tenth NUMA Files novel.
In the middle of the Indian Ocean, a NUMA research vessel is taking water samples at sunset, when a crew member spots a sheen of black oil ahead of them. But it is not oil. Like a horde of army ants, a swarm of black particles suddenly attacks the ship, killing everyone aboard, while the ship itself goes up in flames.
A few hours later, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are on their way to the Indian Ocean. What they will find there on the smouldering hulk of the ship will eventually lead them to the discovery of the most audacious scheme they have ever known: a plan to permanently alter the weather on a global scale. It will kill millions . . . and it has already begun.
Packed with blazing action and daring exploits, The Storm is a nerve-shredding Kurt Austin Numa Filesthriller from Top Ten bestseller Clive Cussler, the master of action-adventure for over four decades, and co-author Graham Brown.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Global climate change poses a threat in bestseller Cussler's exciting 10th thriller featuring Kurt Austin and the gang from the National Underwater and Marine Agency (after 2011's Devil's Gate, also coauthored with Brown). When everyone aboard a NUMA research vessel dies after their catamaran runs into a mysterious black oily substance in the Indian Ocean, where they were investigating water temperature anomalies, Kurt and partner Joe Zavala rush to find out what happened. Wealthy Yemeni Jinn al-Khaif, who's behind the killings, has dumped billions of microbots into the sea to cool it and create weather patterns that will deliver rain to certain areas and prevent rain from falling in others. Jinn plans to become even richer by selling these weather patterns to governments. Kurt and Joe are out to stop him, and, as always, the fate of the world rests in their hands. A clever twist at the end shows Cussler still plotting at the top of his game.
Customer Reviews
The Serpent
This book had given me every bit of possible excitement in action suspense. Reading Clive Cussler is a feeling of watching an invisible film which pretty much is narrated by some specific favourite actor(s). Best author!
The Storm
Cussler never disappoints. Ever since I first picked up one of his books back in 1991 in our school library.
