Summary:
"The coin of the realm for the wealthy, insatiably greedy Chinese
smuggler who is Dirk Pitt's adversary in Flood Tide is human lives:
much of his vast fortune has been made smuggling Chinese immigrants
into countries around the globe, including the United States."
"Tracking the smuggler's nefarious activities leads Pitt from
Washington State to Louisiana, where his quarry is mysteriously
constructing a huge shipping port in the middle of nowhere. Why has
he chosen this unlikely location?" "The trail then leads to the race
to find the site of the mysterious sinking of the ship that Chiang
Kai-shek filled with treasure when he fled China in 1949, including
the legendary boxes containing the bones of Peking Man that had
vanished at the beginning of World War I. As Pitt prepares for a
final dramatic showdown, he is faced with the most formidable foe he
has ever encountered."--BOOK JACKET.
