Dirk Pitt Sr. and his partner, Al Giordino, take
center stage in this latest National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA)
adventure. The two are on Lake Baikal in Siberia when a massive earthquake
disrupts their research. The rescue of a scientific survey vessel and its
passengers reveals a sinister agenda somehow tied to the history of Genghis
Khan, one of the world's greatest conquerors. As more earthquakes occur around
the globe, major oil-supply pipelines are fractured, and the U.S. President and
his staff watch as soaring gas prices create a worldwide panic. Can Dirk Sr. and
Al repair the pipelines, deduce the culprit, and save the world?
