> Fiction Books > General Books

Dirk Pitt doesn't go looking for adventure. It finds him easily enough. His chance witnessing of an airship disaster which nearly kills him and his discovery of the gruesome fate of the crew, sets in motion the most nail-biting chain of events of his career.

The hijacking on a golf course of one of the world's most powerful leaders; an exotic but outrageous undercover operation in the Caribbean; the sinister intrigue of a secret power base on the moon - taxed his considerable resources and guile to the extreme. But it was when Dirk Pitt found his trail leading towards a fabulous treasure hidden fathoms deep in the murky depths of the ocean that he realised he was onto something very special indeed. For somewhere in the treacherously raging waters lay the legendary lost lady of El Dorado, the golden prize that had already lured thousands to their graves . . .
