About this eBook

Everywhere, waters are rising--and that's just the beginning of the world's peril unless the NUMA crew can beat the clock in this thrilling #1 New York Times-bestseller from the grand master of adventure.

An alarming rise in the world's sea levels--much larger than could be accounted for by glacier melt--sends Kurt Austin, Joe Zavala, and the rest of the NUMA scientific team rocketing around the globe in search of answers. What they find at the bottom of the East China Sea, however, is even worse than they imagined: a diabolical plan to upset the Pacific balance of power--and in the process displace as many as a billion people.

A rare alloy unlike anything else on earth, a pair of five-hundred-year-old Japanese talismans, an assassin so violent even the Yakuza has disowned him, an audacious technological breakthrough that will become a very personal nightmare for Kurt Austin - from the shark-filled waters of Asia to the high-tech streets of Tokyo to a forbidden secret island, the NUMA team must risk everything to head off the coming catastrophe.

Ratings and reviews

I purchased the Rising Sea in e-book form, from Barnes and noble. All I can bring up is the sample of the book. I find this very frustrating and would appreciate some help from whoever is in charge of problems like this!!!! I just canceled the sample which was all I could bring up, I paid for the book and couldn’t bring it up. Can I get some help please. Thank you very much.

Just another load of American brainwashing junk showing them in a good light and China as the villains. These deluded Americans will never learn. 'A plot to upset the Pacific balance of power' as the blurb claims. What a load of trash.

I READ THIS BOOK WHEN IT CAME OUT, AND AS USUAL CLIVE CUSSLER IS DEFINITELY ONE OF THE BEST! YOU'LL BE SURPRISED TO FIND THAT MOST OF THE REVIEWS FOR HIS BOOKS ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME. 9 OUT OF 1O WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO PUT IT DOWN UNTIL YOUR FINISHED WITH IT. HE GRABS YOU AND MAKES THAT WAY. AND I'VE READ MOST OF HIS BOOKS, AND NOT ONE THAT DIDN'T GRAB ME RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. HE'S THE BEST!

About the author

Clive Cussler was the author of more than eighty books in five bestselling series, including Dirk Pitt®, NUMA® Files, Oregon® Files, Isaac Bell®, and Sam and Remi Fargo®. His life nearly paralleled that of his hero Dirk Pitt. Whether searching for lost aircraft or leading expeditions to find famous shipwrecks, he and his NUMA crew of volunteers discovered and surveyed more than seventy-five lost ships of historic significance, including the long-lost Confederate submarine Hunley, which was raised in 2000 with much publicity. Like Pitt, Cussler collected classic automobiles. His collection featured more than one hundred examples of custom coachwork. Cussler passed away in February 2020.

Graham Brown grew up in Illinois, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania, moving often with his family. As far as he knows they weren't in the witness protection program or part of any top secret government agency, but then, would they really tell him? A former pilot and lawyer, and later part of a start up health care firm, Brown decided he hadn't had enough different careers yet and decided to become a writer. A huge fan of Clive Cussler, Michael Crichton, Stephen King, and television shows like The X-Files and Lost, Graham's first novel, Black Rain, debuted in January 2010. He now cowrites the NUMA Files series with Clive Cussler. Their second collaboration, The Storm, debuted at #1 on the New York Times Bestseller List.
