Clive Cussler, author of the best-selling Dirk Pitt novels Crescent Dawn and Treasure of Khan, and co-author Paul Kemprecos place their hero, Kurt Austin, at the centre of a tangled web of conspiracy and ambition in Devil's Gate, the ninth novel of the action-packed NUMA Files series.
Deep beneath the Eastern Atlantic Ocean lies an extraordinary underwater burial ground of ships and planes . . .
When Kurt Austin and the NUMA team set out to rescue a Japanese cargo ship from a gang of ruthless pirates they are immediately plunged into a mystery. For after the pirates scuttle the ship they fought so hard to take, their own corsair suddenly bursts into flames mid-getaway.
As Austin and the team investigate this curious turn of events, they uncover a scheme involving the deadly ambitions of an African dictator, the creation of a weapon of terrible power, a kidnapped CERN scientist and a deep-water graveyard holding a lost aircraft and its precious cargo.
As a terrifying and audacious plan to bring the world's major nations to their knees is set in motion, only Kurt Austin - the right man, in the right place, at the right time - can stop it . . .

Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala and the rest of the NUMA® Special Assignments Team are back . . . and they just may have met their match.
A Japanese cargo ship cruises the eastern Atlantic near the Azores - when it bursts into flames. A gang of pirates speeds to take advantage of the disaster - but their boat explodes. What on earth is happening? What does it have to do with the kidnapping of a top scientist from the streets of Geneva? With the defection sixty years ago of a mysterious Russian? With the discovery of an extraordinary underwater graveyard of ships and planes littered across the sea floor?
As Austin and Zavala and the rest of the team rush to investigate, they find themselves drawn into the extraordinary ambitions of an African dictator, the creation of a weapon of almost mythical power, and an unimaginably audacious plan to extort the world's major nations.
The penalty for refusal? The destruction of the world's greatest cities. Starting with Washington, D.C. . . .
Filled with the high-stakes suspense and boundless invention that are unique to Cussler, Devil's Gate is one of the most thrilling novels yet from the grand master of adventure.
