Medusa by Clive Cussler is the eighth novel that features NUMA Special Assignments Division Team Leader Kurt Austin.
Still writing it with author Paul Kemprecos, Cussler gives us another marine mystery-thriller that I bet would keep us glued to the book until it ends.
Out on the Micronesian Islands, a top-secret, United States-sponsored undersea laboratory is conducting tests on a rare jellyfish known as the Blue Medusa and everything is smooth sailing.
That is, until the laboratory disappears.
In about the same time, in the Bermuda, Zavala's bathysphere is attacked-its passengers left to die.
Thanks to Austin's great timing, though, they are all saved.
Following a hunch that these two mysterious attacks are somehow connected, Austin starts his investigation.
He is, however, unprepared for the seriousness of the matter at hand-a Chinese criminal organization, a virus that threatens to be a world pandemic-but Austin, along with Zavala, swears he will get the bottom of this.
And save the world (and both of them as well) while doing so.
The term 'Medusa' has always been connected to Greek Mythology but I think this book will make you remember one more thing about it.
Cussler has been known for his engaging plot lines, his free-flowing imagination that holds you captive even after you've finished the book.
He seems to be able to bring out the inner adventurer and child in all of us-points that make his books well-loved.
Medusa by Clive Cussler might not only prove to be Kurt Austin's greatest adventure, but also Cussler's best novel yet.
