Japan 1945. Two US bombers take off with atomic bombs. Only one gets through. The pacific 1993. A Japanese cargo ship bound for the United States is instantly, thunderously, vaporized taking with it a Norwegian vessel.. Japanese fanatics have developed a chilling plan to devastate and destroy the Western Powers.. From the ocean depths to the discovery of lost Nazi loot, Dirk Pitt is untangling a savage conspiracy and igniting a daring counterattack. While Washington bureaucrats scramble, a brutal industrialist commands his blackmail sceme from a secret island command center. And Dirk Pitt, the dauntless hero of "Treasure" and "Cyclops" is taking on death dealing robots and a human-hunting decendant of Samurai warriors. Pitt alone controls the West's secret ace in the hole: a tidal wave of destruction waiting to be triggered on the ocean floor.
