The new rip-roaring thriller in the NUMA series from the Grand Master of Adventure, Clive Cussler ANCIENT SECRETS. MODERN WEAPONS . . . When Kurt Austin rescues the crew of a Scottish trawler, he finds himself trying to save them not once but twice.

Soon Kurt - with the assistance of resourceful MI5 agent Morgan Manning - is on the hunt for the source of these artefacts. It's a journey that takes them around the world and draws the fury of the mysterious Bloodstone group - an international network of murderous individuals who'll kill anyone in their way. But what do gunmen want with ancient loot? One thing is for sure, if Kurt is to find out he's going to be in the cross hairs of some ruthless and well-armed foes . . .
