When the NUMA crew is exposed to a dangerous toxin, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala will stop at nothing to find a cure foretold by Ancient Egyptian lore in this exhilarting novel from the number one New York Times best-selling series.

Head of NUMA special assignments, Kurt Austin and his most trusted friend, Joe Zavala tangle with a ruthless powerbroker scheming to build a new Egyptian empire as glorious as those of the Pharaohs. Part of their adversary's plan rests on the manipulation of a newly discovered aquifer beneath the Sahara, but an even more devastating weapon at his disposal may threaten the entire world: A plant extract known as the black mist, discovered in the City of the Dead and rumored to have the power to take life from the living and restore it to the dead.

With the balance of power in Africa and Europe on the verge of tipping, Kurt, Joe, and the rest of the NUMA team will have to fight to discover the truth behind the legends - but to do that, they have to confront in person the greatest legend of them all: Osiris, the ruler of the Egyptian underworld.

Critic reviews

"Electrifying...Cussler delivers all the usual twists and turns on the way to the explosive climax." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Cussler's latest is the most breathtakingly suspenseful, wildly inventive, enjoyable thriller in the NUMA Files series to date! Hard-core fans will snap it up" ( Library Journal)
"Cussler's action-packed, fun-filled 11th NUMA Files adventure provides a deserted volcanic-island lair, tricked-out ships, diving exploits, and plenty of thugs and minions to give Kurt Austin a few problems, to say nothing of a beautiful woman scientist." ( Kirkus Reviews)

Action & Suspence

I really liked the backdrop and storyline, and there was certainly plenty of action. However I didn't love the heroes or their nonstop "jokes." The silly banter between the main characters, Kurt and Joe, starts off strong and never wanes. I guess it's supposed to add to the fun factor, but personally I could have done without the wise cracks... they just aren't that funny. I have only read two other Cussler books, one Dirk Pitt and one Isaac Bell, both of which I really liked. I think I definitely prefer the one man band protagonist as opposed to this dynamic duo. Still gave it four stars for action, and the fact that the Scott Brick narration was excellent.

Good story, too much man flirting

Another page-turner! I found this book to be entertaining and interesting. I love the fact that the stories always have just enough history to make you go back and do research.

Cussler at his finest...
