From the Publisher:
A terrifying discovery. A cutting-edge weapon. A life-or-death showdown in the skies...
A distress call from a nearby freighter in the Caribbean brings a NUMA training mission to an abrupt halt. Leaping into action, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala locate the damaged vessel, where they make an eerie discovery. The captain lies face down in the silent starboard bridge. Clutched beneath him - an empty shotgun.

When Kurt and Joe search the freighter for clues, the situation grows stranger - and more dangerous. Lying hidden in wait are the rest of the crew: paranoid, disoriented and ready to fight.
Could a mind-altering sickness have struck down an entire ship? Or is something much more sinister going on?

Following the crew's tale of mysterious lights leads Kurt and Joe to a cadre of Cuban mercenaries, and when they learn of their plan to use magnificent modern airships to hijack a nuclear submarine, this impromptu mission moves from the seas to the skies. Faced with an irrepressible enemy and a new arena of fighting, stopping this plot could be the NUMA crew's toughest task yet...

From the Publisher:
Kurt Austin faces mind-control technology and cutting-edge weaponry in the latest novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling series created by the "grand master of adventure" Clive Cussler.

On a NUMA training mission in the Caribbean, Kurt Austin and Joe Zavala catch a distress call from a nearby freighter. Leaping into action, they locate a damaged vessel and a dead captain clutching a shotgun.

While searching the freighter for clues, Kurt and Joe are ambushed by crew members who seem terrified and disoriented, almost brainwashed. The trawler they were hauling has vanished, taken -- the men say -- by baffling lights that circled the ship.

Kurt and Joe deduce that the men are suffering from Havana Syndrome, which deepens the mystery and raises the stakes. Soon, they're confronting Cuban mercenaries who plan to use magnificent modern airships to hijack a nuclear submarine -- culminating in a life-or-death showdown in the skies.
