Years ago, an ancient Phoenician statue known as the Navigator was stolen from the Baghdad Museum, and there are men who would do anything to get their hands on it. Their first victim is a crooked antiquities dealer, murdered in cold blood. Their second very nearly is a UN investigator who, were it not for the timely assistance of Austin and Zavala, would now be at the bottom of a watery grave. What's so special about this statue? Austin wonders. The search for answers will take the NUMA team on an astonishing odyssey through time and space, one that encompasses no less than the lost treasures of King Solomon, a mysterious packet of documents personally encoded by Thomas Jefferson, and a top secret scientific project that could change the world forever. And that's before the surprises really begin . . . Rich with all the hair-raising action and endless invention that have become Cussler's hallmarks, The Navigator is Clive's best yet.

Kreon, ruler of the planet of Gonlan in the Rhadan Palatinate, had been more like a real father to Kynan than a bond-father. He had given the foundling a royal upbringing and had in time sent him to become a priest in the holy Order of Navigators, the custodians of the knowledge that centuries before had nearly destroyed mankind in the name of science. Now the old king was dying, poisoned, it was rumored, at the betrothal feast of his son Karston to Janessa, heiress to Aurora. Kynan returned home to find Kreon dead and Gonlan preparing for war with Aurora. Before long, he was aware that the entire Second Stellar Empire, ruled by a weak, sybaritic Galacton, was endangered by a fanatically anticlerical general who was stirring up local war for his own purposes.

Kynan's personal struggle and ultimate triumph add depth to this sequel to The Rebel of Rhada and will hold the reader enthralled through every twist of its tightly plotted course.
