Havana Storm
Renowned marine adventurer Dirk Pitt returns to stem a toxic outbreak.
While investigating a toxic outbreak in the Caribbean Sea that may ultimately threaten the United States, Pitt unwittingly becomes involved in something even more dangerous - a post-Castro power struggle for the control of Cuba.
Meanwhile, Pitt's children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, are on an investigation of their own, chasing an Aztec stone that may reveal the whereabouts of a vast historical Aztec treasure. The problem is, that stone was believed to have been destroyed on the battleship Maine in Havana Harbor in 1898, which brings the pair both to Cuba as well - and squarely into harm's way.
Pitt father, son and daughter have been in desperate situations before . . . but perhaps never quite as dire as the one facing them now.

Dirk Cussler
Dirk Cussler never set out to follow in his father’s wake, yet somehow he ended up charting a course through the same thrilling waters. The son of famed adventure novelist Clive Cussler, Dirk has carved out a voice of his own in the world of high-stakes maritime thrillers. With a background in business and a sharp analytical mind honed by years in finance, he brings a grounded, almost tactical precision to the page—one that balances adrenaline with intellect.
Born in 1961 and raised in the heart of California, Dirk didn’t grow up dreaming of sunken ships and ancient relics. His path was more conventional: an MBA from UC Berkeley, a career in investment management. But his lifelong love of reading and the magnetic pull of storytelling eventually led him to co-author Black Wind with his father, introducing readers to a new era of the Dirk Pitt series. Since then, he has been at the helm of the franchise, blending historical mysteries, underwater exploration, and geopolitical intrigue into pulse-pounding novels that appeal to both longtime fans and new readers.
