Thanks to Net Galley and the Publishers for giving me the digital ARC of the latest Clive Cussler， Numa Files #19 book。 Kurt and Joe along with Yan-Li are searching for the pirate ship， the Silken Dragon， whose crew had stolen treasure from the Pirate Queen， Ching Shih。 But as often happens with Kurt and Joe， they are called away on a mission to locate an important ship， called the Canberra Swift。 There are various groups trying to locate the Canberra Swift and the important cargo of Super Compu Thanks to Net Galley and the Publishers for giving me the digital ARC of the latest Clive Cussler， Numa Files #19 book。 Kurt and Joe along with Yan-Li are searching for the pirate ship， the Silken Dragon， whose crew had stolen treasure from the Pirate Queen， Ching Shih。 But as often happens with Kurt and Joe， they are called away on a mission to locate an important ship， called the Canberra Swift。 There are various groups trying to locate the Canberra Swift and the important cargo of Super Computers that the ship was transporting。 Who will find the ship and its cargo first？ I can honestly say that Graham Brown did a great job of staying true to the characters that Clive Cussler created。 He brought the book to life with all the excitement and action that fans have come to know and expect！ 。。。more

Kurt， Joe， and Yan-Li are treasure hunting in the South China Sea for the pirate queen， Ching Shih's lost treasure。 The hunt was cut short when Kurt and Joe received word from NUMA （National Underwater and Marine Agency） in DC about a missing cargo ship carrying the most valuable supercomputer servers traveling from Taiwan to San Francisco。 As it appears the missing vessel is scuttled and lies at the bottom of the ocean floor。 Rival parties race to the site for these high-tech servers that are n Kurt， Joe， and Yan-Li are treasure hunting in the South China Sea for the pirate queen， Ching Shih's lost treasure。 The hunt was cut short when Kurt and Joe received word from NUMA （National Underwater and Marine Agency） in DC about a missing cargo ship carrying the most valuable supercomputer servers traveling from Taiwan to San Francisco。 As it appears the missing vessel is scuttled and lies at the bottom of the ocean floor。 Rival parties race to the site for these high-tech servers that are not to be sold to Russia and China。 Dark Vector is NUMA #19 and continues to deliver a great sea adventure。 The book can be read as a standalone。 There is a large cast of characters， but a list at the beginning of the book is very helpful to keep track of who is who。 You can expect smart villains， double-cross， and plenty of action from the NUMA crew along with their high-tech "water toys" like the "Phantom" a stealth turtle-looking submarine。 Fun！I enjoyed Dark Vector but because the plot involves super servers it isn't one of my NUMA favorites。 Just a personal preference。 What I did enjoy is learning about this PIRATE QUEEN， Ching Shih （1775–1844） who commanded 400+ ships and 40，000 to 60，000 pirates。* Woah what？！ Thank you G。P。 Putnam's Sons via Netgalley for this DRC。Available May 24， 2022！image History of Yesterday*ref Wikipedia。 。。。more

I was glad to see that the NUMA Files adventures continue and enjoyed Graham Brown’s continuation of Cussler’s characters。 Kurt and Joe are treasure hunting with a beautiful woman when they receive a call to action。 A ship has disappeared with special super computers that are designed to work underwater to aid in heat dispersal。 Several groups want to get their hands on the prize， but Kurt， Joe， and the team are working to get them back to the original company in the US。 Lots of action， narrow e I was glad to see that the NUMA Files adventures continue and enjoyed Graham Brown’s continuation of Cussler’s characters。 Kurt and Joe are treasure hunting with a beautiful woman when they receive a call to action。 A ship has disappeared with special super computers that are designed to work underwater to aid in heat dispersal。 Several groups want to get their hands on the prize， but Kurt， Joe， and the team are working to get them back to the original company in the US。 Lots of action， narrow escapes and heroics provide a fun adventure story。Thanks to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for the ARC。 。。。more

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for a digital ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review。 I'll be honest: when I saw that Graham Brown was writing it， and there wasn't a Cussler at the helm， I was nervous！ However， I ended up very pleased。 Brown did a great job emulating the stories， style of writing， and the long-time work relationship between Austin and Zavala。 I did think it was interesting that there was no mention of Dirk at all in the story， but not completely off。 Once agai Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for a digital ARC of this title in exchange for an honest review。 I'll be honest: when I saw that Graham Brown was writing it， and there wasn't a Cussler at the helm， I was nervous！ However， I ended up very pleased。 Brown did a great job emulating the stories， style of writing， and the long-time work relationship between Austin and Zavala。 I did think it was interesting that there was no mention of Dirk at all in the story， but not completely off。 Once again， Austin and Zavala are at it， saving the world before the bad guy does the bad thing！ I love the blend of history， technology， science and thrills that Cussler's stories have always created， and Brown's rendition did it justice。 I was pretty pleased with this， and hope that Brown continues to evoke and honor Cussler's writing in this vein。 。。。more
