Blue Gold

A Novel from the NUMA Files

By: Clive Cussler

Narrated by: David Purdham

From the #1 New York Times bestselling Grand Master of Adventure Clive Cussler, a breathtaking thriller in which legendary hero Kurt Austin journeys to the mysterious depths of the Venezuelan rainforest to take on a corrupt billionaire tycoon.

An investigation into the sudden deaths of a pod of gray whales leads National Underwater & Marine Agency leader Kurt Austin to the Mexican coast, where someone tries to put him and his mini-sub permanently out of commission. Meanwhile, in South America’s lush hills, a specially assigned NUMA® team discovers the body of a murder victim—a member of a mysterious local tribe that lives beyond a five-part waterfall the locals call the Hand of God and is rumored to be led by a mythical white goddess. It becomes clear that the tribe is the target of a vicious cadre of bio-pirates intent on stealing medicinal discoveries worth millions.

Soon, Austin and his crew realize that they’re working opposite ends of the same grand scheme, and they must race against time to save the world’s freshwater supply from a twisted eco-extortionist. But every step toward salvation takes them deeper into a dense jungle of treachery, blackmail, and death.©2000 Clive Cussler. All rights reserved; (P)2000 Simon and Schuster, Inc.

I love Clive cussler's books

love Clive Cussler but The Abridged versions have got to go need the unabridged please!

i enjoy the adventure, the lack of gross language and massive fights thst waste the story!

wrote it. sorry, 15 word. jerz, fifteen words is a lot minimum.love these stories a lot!

It’s a condensed book like a readers digest condensed book book… beware

OK, I like Cussler’s writing and they always read the e-book along with the audiobook that I download from Audible. This one is condensed! Which means you get about 30 or 40% of what is really written. There’s no way you can listen and read and make it enjoyable. I like the book. But the Audible version leaves out complete characters and incidents. Unfortunately, I bought a second one at the same time and it is also condensed.😏 I have the e-book and so I will do what I did with this one read and listen knowing that when I listen, I’m not getting the full story.
