In 1856, a British clipper ship sinks after a terrifying storm while transporting convicts to Australia. Washed up on a tropical island, the survivors discover an immense source of wealth - diamonds.
140 years later, Maeve Fletcher, one of their descendants, is stranded on an island in Antarctica with a party of passengers after their cruise ship seemingly abandons them.
Dirk Pitt, on an expedition to find the source of a deadly plague that is decimating the Weddell Sea, finds the passengers and rescues them. When Pitt later uncovers the cause of the plague, he discovers that Maeve's father, a ruthless Australian diamond king, and her two sisters are responsible.
As a deadly race developes to head off a global disaster, Pitt's inventive genius and relentless drive to survive bring him to a final, spine-chilling confrontation.
