POSEIDON’S ARROW
Book ID/图书代码： 10720012B56388
English Summary/英文概要： “Dirk Pitt is oceanography’s answer to Indiana Jones,” praises the Associated Press. “Exotic locations, ruthless villains and many narrow escapes—Cussler’s fans come for swashbuckling [and] he delivers.”
And now the Cusslers bring us Pitt’s most dangerous adventure of all.
It is the greatest advance in American defense technology in decades—an attack submarine capable of incredible underwater speeds. Nothing else in any other nation’s naval arsenal even comes close. There is only one problem: A key element of the prototype is missing—and the man who developed it is dead.
At the same time, ships have started vanishing mid-ocean, usually never to be found again, but when they are, sometimes bodies are found aboard . . . burned to a crisp.What is going on? And what does it have to do with an Italian submarine that itself disappeared in 1943, lost at sea? Or was she?
It is up to NUMA director Dirk Pitt and his team, aided by a beautiful NCIS agent and by Pitt’s children, marine engineer Dirk and oceanographer Summer, to go on a desperate international chase to find the truth, from Washington to Mexico, Idaho to Panama. What they discover at the end of it is a much, much greater threat than even they imagined.
If they don’t succeed in their mission, the world as they know it might end up a very different place—and not a pleasant one.
Filled with breathtaking suspense and extraordinary imagination, Poseidon’s Arrow is further proof that when it comes to adventure writing, nobody beats Clive Cussler.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “海洋学家德克•皮特堪比，考古学家印第安纳琼斯,”美联社的赞誉。“遍及世界各地的异国情调,凶神恶煞般的恶棍和历经九死一生的一次次探险之旅，卡斯勒的粉丝将沉醉在这一幕幕激动人心的故事之中。”
现在,卡斯勒带领读者来到皮特最危险的一次冒险旅程中。这是美国国防技术几十年以来，最大的一次进步，攻击潜艇的水下速度得到了一次令人难以置信提升。没有其他任何一个国家的海军军舰能与之比拟。现在只有一个问题:一个关键元素的原型不见了,而开发这项技术的人也死了。同时,潜艇也在海中消失,通常不会再被发现,但有时事后可能会发现潜艇内所有遇难船员的尸体。那些被烧焦的尸体。是什么回事?而和其一同在1943年消失的一艘意大利潜艇,有何此事有何关联? (Sandy)

About the Author/作者介绍： 克莱夫•卡斯勒（Clive Cussler），美国当代首届一指的惊险小说大师，美国惊险小说协会（American action adventure novel）主席。写过29本书，作品被翻译成40种文字，引进到100多个国家，销量超过1.25亿本。全球热映大片《撒哈拉奇兵》、《打捞泰坦尼克号》等均改编自他的小说。他本人也是一位海洋探险家，正是《倒转地极》一书中的国家水下暨海洋机构（NUMA）特别行动队的领导者。
克莱夫•卡斯勒先生是美国惊险小说协会（American action adventure novel）的主席。出生于1931年7月15日，童年在加尼福利亚的阿尔汉布拉（Alhambra）度过。后来进入帕萨迪纳学院读了两年书，之后在朝鲜战争期间被征召进美国空军，从事飞机机修工作，并担任军用运输机的随机工程师。退役后，他成了一名广告词撰稿人，随后又担任了两家著名广告公司的企划部主任。在此期间，他为电台和电视台创作了很多蜚声海内外的的商业广告节目，赢得了许多国际奖项，其中一个是在戛纳电影节上获得。
1965年，克莱夫•卡斯勒开始了其写作生涯。1973年，他出版了其系列惊险小说中的第一部《出击地中海》（Mediterranean Caper），从此一发不可收拾，三十多年来连续推出了几十部脍炙人口的动作／惊险（Action/Adventure）作品，从而奠定了他后来成为美国当代惊险小说创作大师的地位。在他的这些作品中有一个特点，即其中的很大一部分的主角都是一位名叫德克•皮特的大智大勇的海洋工程师兼探险家，涉及的探险或探密活动也基本上全都与海洋有关。这样的作品在他迄今为止的30余部中占了20部，构成了一个德克•皮特系列作品。由此可知作者是意图是要打造一个如同福尔摩斯或是邦德那样的不朽人物。上世纪80年代，他的作品《打捞泰坦尼克号》（Raise the Titanic，1976年出品）的中译本曾经在国内出版。2000年，昆仑出版社又出版了他的著作《印加宝藏》（Inca Gold，1994年出品）的中译本（译者为邹惠玲女士。该译本在网上已有电子文本）。最近，根据他的作品《撒哈拉》（Sahara，1992年出品）改编的同名电影也已经搬上银幕，成了好莱坞当下2005年4月份推出的大作之一（导演为布雷克•艾斯纳尔，影片中的德克•皮特由马修•麦康纳扮演）。
克莱夫•卡斯勒先生虽已耄耋之年的高龄，却依然笔耕不缀，进入本世纪以来，几乎以每年二到三部的速度推出他的新作品，其壮志雄心，令人感佩！
