Lost City by Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos is the fifth thrilling instalment in the NUMA Files series, following the daring adventures of Kurt Austin and the NUMA Special Projects team. This action-packed novel begins with the discovery of a body frozen for ninety years in a glacier high in the French Alps. What initially appears to be a straightforward case quickly escalates when a near-fatal accident reveals a deep mystery linked to the body. The secret the body holds is one worth killing for, and Kurt Austin finds himself racing against time to uncover it.
As the team delves deeper into the mystery, they are led to the Lost City trench in the Atlantic, where a dangerous virulent algal weed is wreaking havoc. In the face of an adversarial family driven by astonishing greed, Austin and the NUMA team must navigate treacherous waters—literally and figuratively—to prevent a catastrophe that could impact the world. Packed with relentless action, high-stakes intrigue, and unexpected twists, Lost City is a must-read for fans of suspenseful thrillers and Cussler’s signature brand of adventure.
