NUMA Files #4 White Death (P)

As hailed hero for the modern era, NUMA leader Kurt Austin must safeguard the ocean's fragile ecosystem from a fish-farming group with ambitious goals for their genetically-modified product. In the #1 New York Times-bestselling adventure series, a clash between a militant environmentalist group and a Danish cruiser leaves survivors trapped in a sunken ship. Assigned to lead the rescue, Kurt Austin and colleague Joe Zavala discover a darker plot involving the supposed environmental group, Sentinels of the Sea, and their ties to a shady multinational corporation seeking to dominate the world's oceans. As Austin narrowly avoids a deadly explosion on his own boat, he realizes he is a target - a sign that he is onto something big. In fact, he and NUMA® are the only ones standing in the way of a looming environmental catastrophe that has already begun.
