The classic Clive Cussler thriller from the master of the adventure novel.
An ancient cargo long thought lost is found. With terrible consequences . . .
Dirk Pitt is surveying in the Middle East when a stroke of luck reveals an Ottoman wreck with a very curious cargo. While investigating the find, he foils a night raid on Istanbul's Topkapi Palace Museum. This puts Pitt at the centre of a race to acquire a series of legendary artefacts.
Meanwhile, the region is being pushed to the brink of war by a series of explosions across Turkey and Egypt. Finding that his search for the artefacts is linked to the attacks, Pitt must prevent a deranged brother and sister's fanatical plans succeeding...
Packed with breathtaking suspense and fired by an extraordinary imagination, Crescent Dawn is a barnstorming read starring Dirk Pitt for all fans of action, suspense and intrigue.
