When the great Library of Alexandria was ordered sacked in A.D. 391, could some of its fabulous art treasures and volumes from its magnificent library have escaped the flames and been ferried across the Atlantic? You might say it is highly improbable - but if Clive Cussler has any say, and he does in this adventure, it is also highly likely. No one picks up a Dirk Pitt novel expecting great literature, but to enjoy a wild adventurous ride. This has all of the elements fans love in Custler's Dirk Pitt novels, including the "car".

FROM THE OCEAN FLOOR TO THE
SWELTERING SANDS OF EGYPT -- DIRK PITT HAS
THE POWER TO SAVE THE WORLD!
A violent rise of fundamentalism in Mexico and Egypt has the United States captive inside its own borders. But when the beautiful Egyptian Secretary General of the United Nations survives a murderous plane crash in Greenland, Dirk Pitt is pulled into the storm. Searching for the most spectacular missing treasure of the ancient world, he finds a startling connection between the murder attempt and the chaos that is gripping the world. And when the Presidents of Egypt and Mexico are taken hostage, the hunt begins in earnest. Now it's Dirk Pitt against a conspiracy of evil that reaches from the arctic circle to Tierra del Fuego -- and the sides are about even!
