Nighthawk

By: Clive Cussler, Graham Brown

Narrated by: Scott Brick

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

NUMA crew leaders Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala must beat the clock to stop the world’s most dazzling new technological advance from becoming mankind’s last in this action-packed thriller from the #1 New York Times–bestselling grand master of adventure.

When the most advanced aircraft ever designed vanishes over the South Pacific, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala are drawn into a deadly contest to locate the fallen machine. Russia and China covet the radical technology, but the United States worries about a darker problem. They know what others don’t—that the X-37 is carrying a dangerous secret, a payload of exotic matter, extracted from the upper reaches of the atmosphere and stored at a temperature near absolute zero. As long as it remains frozen, the cargo is inert, but if it thaws, it will unleash a catastrophe of nearly unthinkable proportions.

From the Galapagos Islands to the jungles of South America to an icy mountain lake many believe to be the birthplace of the Inca, the entire NUMA team will risk everything in an effort to avert disaster...but they may be caught in a race that no one can win.

Critic reviews

Praise for the NUMA Files Novels

“Cussler’s latest is the most breathtakingly suspenseful, wildly inventive, enjoyable thriller in the NUMA Files series to date! Hard-core fans will snap it up.”—Library Journal

“Cussler’s action-packed, fun-filled 11th NUMA Files adventure provides a deserted volcanic-island lair, tricked-out ships, diving exploits, and plenty of thugs and minions to give Kurt Austin a few problems, to say nothing of a beautiful woman scientist.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Electrifying...Cussler delivers all the usual twists and turns on the way to the explosive climax.”—Publishers Weekly

“Ghost Ship is the closest yet to a flat-out James Bond adventure. The best Cussler stories are the ones that are the most personal to the hero, and for Kurt Austin, a failed rescue attempt still causes nightmares. Another solid entry in the NUMA Files series.”—Associated Press

Great Book

I love listening to one of Clive's books while working. Great storyline, characters are well done. The only thing that I wish is that I would love to have known what island they washed up on.

Fast paced action

great story. How does the author continue to come up with such incredible tales?

Great Story made better by a talented delivery!

As always the author paints his story with words. The reader brings those words to life. So well done take care if you listen while driving. It would be hard to explain that you were trying to save the world. Well maybe the judge has been carried away by great audio. I must leave now as yet another Clive Cussler story is calling for me.

Nighthawk is a book to read/listen

Bravo! Another  Cussler masterpiece. The narrator was able to keep the listener on the edge of their seat showing emotions that kept you riveted to the story. The idea of getting anti-matter from earths magnetic field was a stroke of genius. It was an excellent balance of drama and comedy which brought the story  to a delightful and sarcastic conclusion.

Very enjoyable as always

Great listen. Good story well read as always. Looking forwards to the next book soon
