What this book is about
A 1986 Dirk Pitt thriller featuring one of Cussler's most ambitious plots: a secret U.S. lunar colony mined for Helium-3, a Soviet conspiracy in Cuba, and Dirk Pitt at the center of it all. The novel spans from the Florida Straits to the moon, featuring Cold War intrigue, Cuban politics, and Pitt's trademark daring rescues. High-concept adventure at its most entertaining.
