Blue Gold

A Novel from the NUMA Files

De: Clive Cussler

Narrado por: David Purdham

Kurt Austin and his crew are back to slake their thirst for action as they attempt to drown an eco-extortionist's plan to control the world's freshwater supply.

From deep within the Venezuelan rain forest emanates the legend of a white goddess and a mysterious tribe with startling technical accomplishments. Few believe the tribe exists, and even fewer suspect its deity can change the course of history.

For National Underwater and Marine Agency (NUMA) crew leader Kurt Austin, an investigation into the sudden deaths of rare whales leads him to the Mexican coast. Meanwhile, in South America's lush hills, a specially assigned NUMA crew turns up the white-goddess legend - and a murderous cadre of bio-pirates intent on stealing medicinal secrets worth millions. Soon Austin and his crew realize they're working the opposite ends of the same grand scheme. A California agribusiness tycoon is poised to rise to power by monopolizing the earth's depleted freshwater reserves and dominate the world.

Austin has a hunch the mythical tribal goddess may be the key to locating a secret formula that could turn seawater into fresh. But with each step into the bush, he and his NUMA team feel like fish out of water, and they must fight a trail of enemies through a dense jungle of treachery and murder.

Blue Gold

I fully support Mr. Cussler and what he does with Numa and the Sea Hunters, This book will help pay for more work with Numa.

I love Clive cussler's books

love Clive Cussler but The Abridged versions have got to go need the unabridged please!

i enjoy the adventure, the lack of gross language and massive fights thst waste the story!

wrote it. sorry, 15 word. jerz, fifteen words is a lot minimum.love these stories a lot!

Great story, great theme, but it is an Abridged book! One credit for five hrs!

No offense David Purdham, but you’re no Scott Brick! You did a credible job, but Sandecker never sounded like a little girl in any of the other books….
I, like many other’s reviews, HATE abridged books!

Disgusting performance

Should get money back, performance was the worst reading of any book I have listened to from Audio books

Captivating

Clive Cussler is the master of fiction.Blue gold was by far one of his best!

Bad narration.

Was not enjoyable. Abridged version lacking, last time for that.
Will avoid narrator in future.

Performance

The narration on this book was so bad I didn't even finish it. Clive Cussler is one of my favorite authors and I was rather disappointed about not being able to finish the book.

Needs a better reader

I love the Numa books. The reader made me want to stop listening often. It’s a shame a publisher doesn’t listen to the product before subjecting people who purchase it to poor voice with lack of talent.

Miss Scott

The story line was still a up to expectations on Cussler, but I do prefer Scott Brick.
