Book-Shock Wave,Clive Cussler,PB.os-4902
Dirk Pitt (Inca Gold), eco-warrior of the National Underwater & Marine
Agency (NUMA), returns for another boys' adventure tale, this one set
in the year 2000. Along for the sail are Pitt's roly-poly sidekick, Al
Giordino, and father-figure Admiral Sandecker, head of NUMA. As with
all of Cussler's novels since he raised the Titanic 20 years ago, the
plot is a pip. People and animals are dying mysteriously and in droves
on various ocean shores, a catastrophe caused by high-frequency sound
waves generated by the ruthless diamond-mining techniques of
Australian tycoon Arthur Dorsett, whose fiendish plan is to ruin the
diamond cartel and corner the colored gem market. Sometime after Pitt
gets on the case, he winds up being cast adrift by Dorsett in a small,
leaky boat in the Pacific; also on board are steadfast Al and
Dorsett's rebel daughter, Maeve, who provides the novel's love
interest. The three are shipwrecked but survive to build a small craft
that will
take them to Dorsett's island fortress, where they hope to rescue
Maeve's twin sons, hostages of the unlikely villain (Dorsett
suffocates one enemy by stuffing his mouth with diamonds). Meanwhile,
Admiral Sandecker realizes that the deadly sound from Dorsett's four
Pacific mines will soon converge in Honolulu, killing everyone there.
