The Devil’s Sea by Dirk Cussler.
In 1959 Tibet, a Buddhist
artifact of immense importance was seemingly lost to history in the turmoil of
the Communist takeover. But when National Underwater and Marine Agency Director
Dirk Pitt discovers a forgotten plane crash in the Philippine Sea over 60 years
later, new clues emerge to its hidden existence. But Pitt and his compatriot Al
Giordino have larger worries when they are ordered to recover a failed
hypersonic missile from Luzon Strait. Only someone else is after it, too…a
rogue Chinese military team that makes their own earthshattering discovery,
hijacking a ship capable of stirring the waters of the deep into a veritable
Devil’s Sea. From the cold dark depths of the Pacific Ocean to the dizzying
heights of the Himalaya Mountains, only Dirk Pitt and his children, Summer and
Dirk Jr., can unravel the mysteries that will preserve a religion, save a
nation…and save the world from war.
