Meanwhile, in South America's lush hills, a specially assigned NUMA(R) team discovers the body of a murder victim--a member of a mysterious local tribe that lives beyond a five-part waterfall the locals call the Hand of God and is rumored to be led by a mythical white goddess. It becomes clear that the tribe is the target of a vicious cadre of bio-pirates intent on stealing medicinal discoveries worth millions. Soon, Austin and his crew realize that they're working opposite ends of the same grand scheme, and they must race against time to save the world's freshwater supply from a twisted eco-extortionist. But every step toward salvation takes them deeper into a dense jungle of treachery, blackmail, and death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clive Cussler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.50w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668218099\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 19\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e43254 \/ Blue Gold: A Novel from the Numa Files\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClive Cussler (1931-2020) was the author or coauthor of over eighty books in six bestselling series, including Dirk Pitt, The Numa Files, The Oregon Files, An Isaac Bell Adventure, A Sam and Remi Fargo Adventure, and A Kurt Austin Adventure.
