Shock Wave (Dirk Pitt Adventures) by Clive Cussler -Hardcover

While studying a deadly plague in the Pacific, Dirk Pitt rescues a band of rich castaways who were deserted by their cruise ship and learns that the plague had been caused by a passenger's father, who uses ultrasound to mine diamonds…

Dirk Pitt returns in "Inca Gold" as an eco-warrior tackling a diabolical plan by Australian tycoon Arthur Dorsett, who uses high-frequency sound waves to disrupt ocean life and manipulate the diamond market. Pitt, his sidekick Al Giordino, and Admiral Sandecker are drawn into a high-stakes adventure involving shipwrecks, a perilous journey to Dorsett’s island fortress, and a race against time to prevent a deadly sound wave disaster. Despite the wooden prose, the novel's action and adventure provide a thrilling, albeit derivative, read reminiscent of classic James Bond escapades.
