A strange figure soon steals NUMA's findings, forcing a high-speed chase--someone \u003ci\u003ereally\u003c\/i\u003e didn't want them examining those dead whales. But who, and why? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA cryptic text through the NUMA satellite network makes things still stranger: these odd phrases and numbers look like NUMA codes. But who could be tantalizing the crew with such specific knowledge of their tech? Are they being helped by an old friend, or lured into a trap by a traitor who knows a little too much about NUMA's inner workings? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKurt, Joe, and even Max, the agency's supercomputer, will have to investigate like never before as they decrypt data, infiltrate a cult of cloned men, and prepare for a battle on two very different planes: one physical; one digital. The aquatic stranding was just the beginning of a sinister plan concocted by a mind more brilliant than any they've ever faced--the mind of a machine. A new, terrifying world order is being plotted. First marine ecosystems will be devastated, then the entire globe's...Unless the NUMA crew can stop this code of desolation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eClive Cussler\u003c\/b\u003e was the author of more than eighty books in five bestselling series, including Dirk Pitt(R), NUMA Files(R), \u003ci\u003eOregon\u003c\/i\u003e Files(R), Isaac Bell(R), and Sam and Remi Fargo(R). His life nearly paralleled that of his hero Dirk Pitt. Whether searching for lost aircraft or leading expeditions to find famous shipwrecks, he and his NUMA crew of volunteers discovered and surveyed more than seventy-five lost ships of historic significance, including the long-lost Civil War submarine \u003ci\u003eHunley\u003c\/i\u003e, which was raised in 2000 with much publicity. Like Pitt, Cussler collected classic automobiles. His collection featured more than one hundred examples of custom coachwork.
