Celtic Empire
The murders of a team of United Nations scientists in El Salvador. . . A deadly collision in the waterways off the city of Detroit. . . An attack by tomb raiders on an archaeological site along the banks of the Nile. . . Is there a link between these violent events? The answer may lie in the tale of an Egyptian princess forced to flee the armies of her father three thousand years ago.
During what was supposed to be a routine investigation in South America, NUMA Director Dirk Pitt finds himself embroiled in an international mystery, one that will lead him across the world and which will threaten everyone and everything he knows--most importantly, his own family. Pitt travels to Scotland in search of answers about the spread of an unknown disease and the shadowy bioremediation company that may be behind it. Meanwhile, his son and daughter face a threat of their own when the discoveries they have made in an Egyptian tomb put killers on their trail. These seemingly unrelated riddles come together in a stunning showdown on the rocky isles of Ireland, where only the Pitts can unravel the secrets of an ancient enigma that could change the very future of mankind.

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.
