The Navigator by Clive Cussler and Paul Kemprecos is the thrilling seventh instalment in the NUMA Files series, a gripping action-adventure collection that has captivated readers worldwide. Known for its seamless blend of maritime mystery and high-stakes international intrigue, this novel continues the exploits of Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala as they dive headfirst into a centuries-old enigma.
The story begins with the theft of an ancient Phoenician statue, the Navigator, from the Baghdad Museum — an artefact so valuable and mysterious that people are willing to kill for it. When a crooked antiquities dealer is found murdered and a UN investigator narrowly escapes a watery death, NUMA’s finest are called in. Their pursuit of answers leads them into a world of long-lost treasures, hidden codes penned by Thomas Jefferson, and a clandestine scientific discovery with the potential to alter the fate of humanity. From the deserts of Iraq to the depths of the sea, The Navigator unravels a fast-paced narrative rich with danger, double-crosses, and historical secrets.
