1094 d30428de-8de5-4217-aaee-9e0bd108c9e7 Medusa Clive Cussler Paul Kemprecos calibre (0.7.35) [http://calibre-ebook.com] 2009-06-02T07:05:42.104000+00:00 EDITORIAL REVIEW: For seven books, Clive Cussler has dazzled readers with the "spine-tingling adventures" (*Chicago Tribune*) of Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA(r) Special Assignments Team, but in *Medusa* the NUMA(r) team faces what may be its most perilous mission of all. In the Micronesian Islands, a top secret, U.S. government- sponsored undersea lab conducting vital biomedical research on a rare jellyfish known as the Blue Medusa suddenly . . . disappears. At the same time, off Bermuda, a bathysphere is attacked by an underwater vehicle and left helpless a half mile below the surface, its passengers-including Zavala-left to die. Only Kurt Austin's heroic measures save them from a watery grave, but, suspecting a connection, Austin puts the NUMA(r) team on the case. He has no idea what he's just gotten them all into. A hideous series of medical experiments . . . an extraordinarily ambitious Chinese criminal organization . . . a secret new virus that threatens to set off a worldwide pandemic. Austin and Zavala have been in tight spots before, but this time it's not just their own skins they're trying to save-it's the lives of millions. Filled with the high-stakes suspense and boundless invention unique to Cussler, *Medusa* is the most thrilling novel yet from the grand master of adventure.
