The Navigator

Clive Cussler continues his thrilling NUMA Files with The Navigator.

Iraq, 2003: in the post-war looting of the treasures from Baghdad's antiquities museum, a legendary Phoenicean statue is stolen . . .

Known as the Navigator, the statue points back to the days of King Solomon and is the vital clue to a secret of unimaginable power. Lucky then that UN investigator Carina Mechadi recovers it quickly. But a daring raid by helicopter in Iceberg Alley off Newfoundland and the statue is gone again - while Carina is only saved by the timely intervention of Kurt Austin of NUMA.

Now Austin and Carina are scouring the globe. Firstly, to track down the statue as it leaves a trail of murder and mayhem in its wake. And, secondly, to beat the thieves to the secret of the Navigator - for if it falls into the wrong hands, the world could be changed for ever.

Clive Cussler, author of the best-selling Dirk Pitt novels Arctic Drift and Trojan Odyssey, and co-author Paul Kemprecos place their hero, Kurt Austin, in a globe-trotting race against time in The Navigator, the seventh novel of the action-packed NUMA Files series. Lost City and Polar Shift are the fifth and sixth.

Reviews

The great entertainer of our age, and a mesmerizing storyteller

—— Stephen King

A dominant influence on writers crafting the continuing series character . . . I envy the generation of readers just discovering Travis McGee

—— Sue Grafton

The consummate pro, a master storyteller and witty observer . . . The Travis McGee novels are among the finest works of fiction ever penned by an American author and they retain a remarkable sense of freshness

—— Jonathan Kellerman

...my favorite novelist of all time

—— Dean Koontz

A master storyteller, a masterful suspense writer . . . John D. MacDonald is a shining example for all of us in the field

—— Mary Higgins Clark

What a joy that these timeless and treasured novels are available again

—— Ed McBain

There’s only one thing as good as reading a John D. MacDonald novel: reading it again . . . He is the all-time master of the American mystery novel

—— John Saul

Terry Hayes' I AM PILGRIM delivers smart, compelling and wildly inventive storytelling, told on an ambitious scale with total command. A masterful novel and a terrific read

—— Chris Ewan

Massive in many senses, but none more so than its ability to exert a vice-like grip on the reader....Destined to be spy thriller of the year

—— Irish Independent

As relevant as today's headlines. A scary trip through the shadowy world of international espionage. Just hope that Pilgrim is on our side. Terrific. No, on second thoughts, better than terrific

—— Mark Timlin

THRILLER OF THE MONTH - If the gizmos and bad guys of James Bond and Jason Bourne are a guilty pleasure, you'll love I Am Pilgrim

—— Good Housekeeping

Fast-paced, slick and full of suspense...It will be the only thriller you need to read this year

—— Yorkshire Post

A rollicking, yet thoughtful spy thriller which looks set to become a summer blockbuster... [I Am Pilgrim] has plenty of action, but at its heart the drama is cerebral and rich in character, a battle of wills and intellect which is more George Smiley than Jason Bourne

—— Tom Tivnan , The Bookseller

[Terry Hayes’] debut novel has been hyped as "the only thriller you need to read this year", and for once that isn't nonsense. I Am Pilgrim makes moussaka of its rivals

—— John O’Connell , Guardian

I Am Pilgrim is going to be big

—— Simon Mayo

I Am Pilgrim is a satisfying and ambitious book, written with skill and verve

—— The Times

Worthy of the hype ****

—— Sunday Mirror

I Am Pilgrim is a fresh new take on the genre...and it’s one you won’t regret picking up

—— David Baldacci

[I Am Pilgrim] has been a fantastic read: a big, solid, chunky, fast-paced, rip-roaring thriller, the love child of a manic union between Jack Reacher and James Bond.

—— Heat

Mr. Hayes’s globe-trotting book has more kicks, twists and winks than anything of its dusty genre has provided in a long time. You will be happily surprised to find a new thriller franchise with brains to match its brawn

—— Janet Maslin , New York Times

Written in a heart-stopping pace, this literary thriller lands somewhere between Homeland and Breaking Bad and then transports you to a different level. It is part spy novel, part psychological thriller. Twists and turns. Emotionally complex characters. Relevant geopolitical issues.

—— Monica Lewinsky , Wall Street Journal
