A mysterious plague in the Antarctic... A diamond empire run by an evil genius... A devastating new technology that threatens to annihilate millions! <b>Tasman Sea, 1856.</b> A British clipper ship bound for Australia's penal colony is crushed in a raging typhoon.

Among them are Betsy Fletcher and Jess Dorsett, who discover an immense supply of exquisite diamonds... <b>Seymour Island, Antarctica, 2000.</b> Dirk Pitt rescues Maeve Fletcher, a descendant of Betsy and Jess, after an unknouwn cataclysm kills thousands of marine animals plus nearly two hundred people aboard a cruise ship.
