Description Blue Gold (NUMA Files #2) by Clive Cussler, Paul Kemprecos (Goodreads Author) 3.82 of 5 stars 3.82 · rating details · 4,965 ratings · 107 reviews L'inizio degli anni '90, le riserve idriche del pianeta si stanno esaurendo e l'acqua sta diventando un bene più prezioso del petrolio. Per cercare di far fronte al problema la dottoressa Francesca Cabral sta studiando un sistema di desalinizzazione, ma qualcuno è pronto a tutto per appropriarsi dell'invenzione che la studiosa vorrebbe rendere di dominio pubblico. Dieci anni dopo, mentre il comandante della National Underwater & Marine Agency, Kurt Austin è in azione al largo della costa messicana, un'altra squadra della NUMA si trova in una regione selvaggia del Sud America, sulle tracce di una tribù perduta e di una leggendaria dea bianca che conosce il segreto dell'acqua..

His first non-fiction, The Sea Hunters, was released in 1996. The Board of Governors of the Maritime College, State University of New York, considered The Sea Hunters in lieu of a Ph.D. thesis and awarded Cussler a Doctor of Letters degree in May, 1997. It was the first time since the College was founded in 1874 that such a degree was bestowed. Cussler is an internationally recognized authority on shipwrecks and the founder of the National Underwater and Marine Agency, (NUMA) a 501C3 non-profit organization (named after the fictional Federal agency in his novels) that dedicates itself to preserving American maritime and naval history. He and his crew of marine experts and NUMA volunteers have discovered more than 60 historically significant underwater wreck sites including the first submarine to sink a ship in battle, the Confederacy's Hunley, and its victim, the Union's Housatonic; the U-20, the U-boat that sank the Lusitania; the Cumberland, which was sunk by the famous ironclad, Merrimack; the renowned Confederate raider Florida; the Navy airship, Akron, the Republic of Texas Navy warship, Zavala, found under a parking lot in Galveston, and the Carpathia, which sank almost six years to-the-day after plucking Titanic's survivors from the sea. In September, 1998, NUMA - which turns over all artifacts to state and Federal authorities, or donates them to museums and universities - launched its own web site for those wishing more information about maritime history or wishing to make donations to the organization.
